This is why I've either deleted my account or stopped interacting with strangers on the big tech platforms. Lemmy is pretty much the only place I actively talk with strangers, since it's the only place that doesn't have massive ulterior motives and algorithmic promotion of toxicity.
I keep my phone nearby in the evenings, but I really only check on it every once in a while or if I get called. I'll still be plugged in to whatever I'm doing on my computer, but I can more or less "log off" in the evenings. I miss being entirely unreachable sometimes like I was back in the early 2010s.
