It doesnt need an identity, YOU are the identity even if anonymous. You are expressing yourself on a media being read and reacted to by others, i.e social media.
im guessing you meant to reply to other guy because this whole "everything on the heckin internet is social media" is pure retardation and calling IST social media is the dumbest thing ive ever read on here
there are no usernames here unless you use a trip, there are no algorithms pushing content to you, there are no friends list where you can network.... its the complete opposite of social media
Go do something different now besides lifting. Go change the oil in your car. Clean your shoes like you young guys do. Make your bed. Even if you do a couple small things it will be better than scrolling. Touch grass only as a last resort. Be useful. I'm sure there's work to do.
Yes. Back in the day, we spent tons of time feeling bored. Getting rid of normal boredom is fun at first but I don’t know how it will affect us in the long term
You don't have to delete all social media just the ones that you consume the most. Also time feeling slow is intended by our Lord and Savior. Get a grip.
IST is anti-social media
It's twitter but more toxic and gay somehow
this.
I had few runs with social media but personally for me point is being in touch with everyone and going out , have an actual network irl , I used to call so many people on weekends...

get a hobby, practice something that there's no limit to, with music for example there's always new pieces to learn, new styles and genres, techniques and then there's writing music which is even more boundless.
you can do the same with painting, poetry, story writing, etcetera, art is literally the only meanwhile endeavor.
I feel like I'm not being productive if I do that. And I know the comeback of 'hurr durr you don't need to be' but with the way life is currently going I don't want to end up fucked over by governments and all that.
get a fucking hobby man, seriously pick up some kind of art that you've always wanted to do and get great at it, it's just that simple. Find a purpose in life and you'll never go back to social media.
IST was created before "social media" was even a commonly used phrase, its a message board lol. not too different from BBS formatted forums or IRC chats actually
"Social media" means content in which you represent yourself as yourself online and seek to socialize and form continuous relationships with people online as you continue to interact. An anonymous message board is then the antithesis of social media.
the most social media aspect of this website is using a trip. i wonder why you aren't using one? are you scared we can identify you everywhere if you use one?
You're an idiot. They didn't even invent the term "social media" until well after this site was made and they used it to describe normalfag web 3.0 or whatever bullshit like facebook and stuff. You may as well call usenet social media because you can post messages on there. Hell, your retarded definitions could extend to bulletin boards and cave paintings. IST still probably isn't good for you but total ESL death cannot happen soon enough.
in my case now i spend the entire day browsing this shithole
managing to leave IST the way i left all social media is probably going to be the biggest step to put my life back on track
this place is just as addicting, but just like social media, you get literally nothing productive from here
so yeah, quitting all social media is pointless if you're still here 24/7
This.. IST has done far more harm to my life than any social media. no social media but just browsing IST is probably the worse thing you can do, you will end up completely out of touch with normal people
Your brain is set to high level of stiimulus. After some time of boredom, your brain will return to normal. After months reading a book will give you the same level of dopamone and pleasure as social media. Just give it a time to reset.
There is a merit to browsing this shithole, I actually believe it hons your debating skills like no other
think about it, you argue with tens of strangers each week, you basically start to know how to go for the kill when arguing with someone IRL like no other
>girl asks me what's my Instagram >say I don't have one >the conversation abruptly stops right there as if I just loudly proclaimed that I'm a pedo serial killer
never had any social mee dia so dunno how you feel
IST is social media numbnuts
there are no identities here, social media all has identities. you can have an identity if you use a trip
so if this is social media use a trip or shut your mouth
IST is the most cancerous part of social media, the comment section, but even more anonymous and fully of mentally stunted fatherless boys.
and youre still not using an identity. interesting
It doesnt need an identity, YOU are the identity even if anonymous. You are expressing yourself on a media being read and reacted to by others, i.e social media.
wrong, the fundamental aspect of social media is having an identity like a username. now use an trip you esl
>an trip
Lel
esls get so offended when you call them esls. fucking animal accent
>AKSHUALLY DOODE LE ENTIRE INTERNET IS ONE BIG LE SOCIAL MEDIA
Just fuck off you midwit

the next step is to touch grass
ugly
SEX

why would you commit social suicide like that in this day and age?
Luke is this you? Do you still play throw the rock?

you forgot IST
You could read or something
get a fucking hobby man, seriously pick up some kind of art that you've always wanted to do and get great at it, it's just that simple. Find a purpose in life and you'll never go back to social media.
I started learning Japanese for several hours a day no cap. Find a time sink that you can get behind and start chipping away at it.
What're you using. Pimsleur has been good DuoLingoy has been a waste of time for me
I deleted social media 2 years ago. I don't miss it.
>still on IST
you are lying
IST was created before "social media" was even a commonly used phrase, its a message board lol. not too different from BBS formatted forums or IRC chats actually
it's still social media, and you are still addicted
"Social media" means content in which you represent yourself as yourself online and seek to socialize and form continuous relationships with people online as you continue to interact. An anonymous message board is then the antithesis of social media.

ESLs are lower than rats

Okay no delete IST
in my case now i spend the entire day browsing this shithole
managing to leave IST the way i left all social media is probably going to be the biggest step to put my life back on track
this place is just as addicting, but just like social media, you get literally nothing productive from here

This
Your life won't truly improve until you delete IST too
And I speak from experience, I am desperately trying to leave also
This.. IST has done far more harm to my life than any social media. no social media but just browsing IST is probably the worse thing you can do, you will end up completely out of touch with normal people
>he believes he is morally above anyone for being a filthy channer
Funniest shit every single thread
found the loser trying to be social media famous
Your brain is set to high level of stiimulus. After some time of boredom, your brain will return to normal. After months reading a book will give you the same level of dopamone and pleasure as social media. Just give it a time to reset.
IST is social media because you compete for attention on it and get into retarded arguments
There is a merit to browsing this shithole, I actually believe it hons your debating skills like no other

>girl asks me what's my Instagram
>say I don't have one
>the conversation abruptly stops right there as if I just loudly proclaimed that I'm a pedo serial killer
GF rejected me first because:
- I didn't had a previous long term relationship
- I refused to make an instagram
but now we are together and it's fine
moral of the story is that if a girl is too dopamine fried from instagram and general propaganda and can't see past it she wasn't worth it
What country anon?
