The answer is simple. Limit your time on social media the way you'd be limiting a child and focus on IRL interactions.


What if I want to spend my time discussing things that are not represented in my geographical region?


Start a club in your geographical region.


Travel. It's cheaper than ever.


This response sounds like "let them eat cake". You realize a lot of people on the internet (even here on HN) are in the developing world and, whether due to lack of means or weak passports, can't necessarily travel to where the things that interest them can be found locally?


I also find IRL social interactions also want pacing to some degree. But I don't know, I find my brain is sort of wired for these sorts of novel, pseudonymous interactions from a young age.


Yeah I get that. But treat them like candy - it's okay to eat a small dessert after lunch, it's okay to eat entire bucket of ice cream once in a while, but you know, your main diet needs to be quality stuff.


Words of wisdom to heed. Thank you, user anal_reactor :‑D
