[tantek]++ for listening to my gentle pushback on "no socials" - I think something for advocacy around that could be great. On the call Loke used the word "screen fast" which I had forgotten but has a different shade of meaning. Something affirmative to IndieWeb values could be cool.

Thanks [artlung], always great when a little back forth helps motivate insights and creative thinking
#
[tantek]
I think there's an opportunity to talk about "Screen time" and adding limits using the tools we already have as a way of "fasting"

related to no social january, I also came across this when searching on the web during hwc: https://www.reddit.com/r/nosurf/comments/10077l1/doing_a_social_media_detox_for_the_month_for/
#
[tantek]
yeah that's a phrase apparently

what is social media detox
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "social media detox" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "social media detox is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek]
what is a silo quit
#
Loqi
silo quits are public statements by individuals announcing they have quit posting on or using various silos with no intention to return. Sometimes people take a temporary break, AKA "social media break" or soft quit https://indieweb.org/silo-quit
#
[tantek]
close enough especially since "social media break" is already in the dfn
