I have a social media (well really just Mastodon, as that's the extent of my social media use) cycle.

10 I'm spending too much time on Mastodon. It's not really a good or productive use of my time.
20 Stop using Mastodon for a few weeks.
30 Have something to say that my wife and friends would not appreciate
40 Make a post to Mastodon
50 Read my feed
60 Realize that everybody on my feed is quite funny and interesting
70 Get into the daily habit of reading all the interesting stuff everyone is doing
80 GOTO 10

I feel like there should be a happy medium somehow. Maybe only read a few posts a day? But which ones? I am not sophisticated enough for this social media stuff.
