This is an interesting point of view.
I left IG because everything caused FOMO: post are made to be perfect, not to inform or genuinely share.
I felt left out.
Here I like what I see, people sharing their hikes, their pictures, their experiences. No pressure, no writing the perfect post in order to create engagement. Just life.
I only miss talking with Italians from my region: I'd love to exchange info about this area.
Just heard the podcast about social media caused fomo ( https://pca.st/episode/fc237e66-5b33-40c6-a9b6-e6c4c673071f).
Especially when seeing content from the outdoors and thinking that those people always have a good life.
Two things about that:
I feel that too sometimes 😢
I really hope, my content doesn't cause this for you dear reader!
My life likely isn't better than yours. I just don't post all my negative and sad moments but try to bring some positive mood into this stream.
