Digital Minimalism

The author advocates for "digital minimalism"—being intentional about technology use rather than defaulting to habitual consumption—and describes his experiment of reducing Twitter use after finding the platform increasingly toxic and unproductive, particularly around late 2024 and early 2025. Instead of leaving X entirely, he switched to using Firefly, a multi-client interface that combines X with decentralized platforms like BlueSky and Farcaster, allowing him to engage with social media while distributing his network effect away from a single platform.
