It's been years since using the usual suspects which I do not miss one bit. dev.to is social media site as is the likes of fitness apps like Strava. Did you cut these out too?

I didn't cut them specifically, I didn't find them to be timesinks (an app I could scroll forever to no end).
I think dev.to is more of a learning platform with a side of social, at least to me.
Reddit is the one I debated the most but ended up cutting cause I mostly used it to endlessly scroll "entertainment" subs.

That makes sense. Mindful curation trumps a mindless cull every time :) Gotta' watch the creep though. That's kind of my approach to it anyway.
