i am particularly prone to social media addiction I think with how my brain is wired so I just try and add as many steps as possible between my apps page and my twitter feed and it works maybe like 33% of the time

the annoying part about it is that barely anything outside of my friends' tweets is actually something im that interested in. like if the algorithm was awesome maybe I wouldnt be sad about it but I might just explode if it continues to feed me minecraft movie tweets

imo the algorithm's gotten worse lately, personally I always make sure my following tab is usable since the algorithm can be really bad about trying to force slop in your face sometimes. it kinda puts a limit on how many people you can reasonably follow and makes it hard to justify following anyone that tweets more than a few times a day but worth it imo
