I’ve been doing this for some time now. Even if it’s something that I consider important.
I just don’t see the value in participating in a discussion that I have seen countless times already where the same points and arguments happen over and over again. One that I know wilI turn ugly. It’s exhausting and I’ve decided to just opt-out.
Yeah. On my personal pages I either unfollowed or deleted so many people so I don’t have to deal with it. On places like lemmy it’s not worth the energy.
Sometimes I can’t help myself though. I was taught to stand up for myself and for other people as well so it’s hard for me to sit back on certain conversations. Somehow this week I actually changed someone’s mind (Not on lemmy). It’s confusing when that happens lol
