That's how I left ATS. It's so empty after the strike calling it a limited hangout. Even GLP only gets busy when it gets a shout out. Truth isn't an aggregation. It's only what you follow.
Reddit had more to keep my attention. Other people sharing what caught their attention. My preference is to have a longer attention span than articles, and read books.
Yes, books. I hardly know what's going online for the past couple years now. After Jan 6, I went deeper and deeper into this world, and find that the internet and all screens are just a tool that helps distract us from life.
Books are needed when you need to learn. When I first broke my online addiction (abandoned all social media, news, games, shows) I clung to audio books. Half/half fiction and non-fiction. For example I forgot more about brewing than most people will ever know. But also every topic you see people argue about here are understood by reading books, not bitching in comments and sharing links. Like fake nukes, or pseudo science of atoms, or virology, paleontology, geology, etc. etc. the world is full of fake history and science, but also there are many book that can easily navigate us away from these deceptions
