2023 11-15 Curate Your Social Media Feed

5 tips to curate your online social media feed

did you know that 80% of the content in social media today is made by less than 10 percent of users?
But also, did you know that only 10% of users actually interact with content?

Which means, if you think about the actual content that’s “blowing up”, it may not truly be what the populace believes…

With that said, what are some ways we can curate our own social media to make it more useful for us?

1. Follow accounts that create content that aligns with your values and interests.
   1. Just be mindful not to create an echo chamber.
   2. It might be interesting to understand both sides of an argument, but if you find the accounts bring you more frustration, then disconnect them in some way
2. Utilize the "mute" and "unfollow" features to remove posts that don't bring you joy or value or education.
   1. Hide Accounts - hide without unfollowing
   2. Temporary mute like for 30 days.
3. Take breaks from social media when needed to help keep a healthy balance in your life.
   1. What are some ways you can recognize this is needed?
   2. What are some thing we could do when taking breaks (hike, walk, sit by firepit)
4. Curate a list of accounts that you can look to for inspiration and positive messages.
   1. But what if it’s already overrun with garbage?
      1. Start a new account
      2. Reset your feed
5. Engage with content that resonates with you, by liking, commenting and sharing posts that you appreciate.

Of course you could completely remove yourself from social media as well.  But it seems there are ways you can still reap the benefits of new technologies, learn from others, doing it in a more healthy way.
