A lot of Gen Xers are tired of the social media hamster wheel—but still use some of it to stay connected.
  • Have you quit any platforms? Which ones, and why?
  • Do you have rules for yourself (limited time, no doomscrolling, etc.)?
  • Are you looking for alternatives to big social networks?
Talk about what’s helped you keep social media in its place—or what you’re struggling with.
