From Building a slow web:

The internet I came to love was quieter. Smaller – which is not to say small. It was still vast, but it was a vast collection of small sites instead of a small collection of vast sites.

Ditching big platforms and using my personal blog instead was the best decision I did in the last year. I still post on Instagram once or twice a year and visit a few subreddits, but my RSS reader is now my primary source for content.
