Hey there. Social media isn’t what it used to be. Instagram’s recent decision to remove hashtag following is just another example of how platforms are prioritizing algorithms over authentic connection. I miss the days when we could curate our feeds, discover new creators, and foster real community without the algorithm dictating everything.
That’s why I’m focusing on platforms like email and podcasting. These are places where connection can still feel personal and intentional. without the noise on social. I think taking stock of not only how much time we spend on social, but also observing how our mind and emotions feel while on it, we can find our best mix of time on and off our phones.
