My socialization summary (based on a weeks usage from my iPhone’s Screen Time app).

  • Mastodon —> Infosec, general news (50%)
  • Instagram —> Posting travel pics, following gym-fluencers (18%)
  • Reddit —> Infosec, Apple, personal finance, other hobbies (10%)
  • Slack —> Work, other professional communities (6%)
  • iMessage & Google Voice —> Most 1-1 communication (4%)
  • Linkedin —> Lurk, Job searching (3%)
  • Bluesky —> TBD (3%)
  • Discord —> Infosec, gaming (2%)
  • Blind —> TC or GTFO’ing (2%)
  • Twitter —> Still have my username but don’t really use (1%)
  • Nostr —> Barely use (<1%)
  • Signal —> Chat with specific people (<1%)
  • Matrix —> Barely use (<1%)

My takeaways…

  • I main Mastodon
  • I need to delete Instagram
  • Slack % doesn’t include work so that is skewed…
  • Discord is low. I need to game more
  • At over a day (24h) of collective screen time, in a week’s span, I need to re-prioritize some things in my life haha.
