Already did, Lemmy is the only one I still use. Am still totally depressed and without purpose, except slightly more bored than before.

I started taking long breaks from social media apps a year ago and have been using the time to read more books instead. I did go on Mastodon and Lemmy later, but overall I feel better than before.

Recently I finished the book Digital Minimalism https://mementomori.school/post/1996 as I'm interested in this topic. I got the video recommended by the YouTube algorithm after watching a few videos from the author. I hope his ideas can be helpful to you.
