Everyone seems to be posting technical, but not philosophical methods.
Using:
Firefox addons like LibRedirect, Resurrect Pages, Unpaywall
uBlock Origin set to medium mode with extra filters enabled, to prevent brainrot from ads and manipulative sidebar content
generally FOSS ware, but also benevolent closed source software like WinRAR and R-Studio if they are not hostile to user or adware
Fediverse, non-mainstream forums or non-Western media for discussions and to gain legitimate information
Russian forums with translator, because these people are the most chill. civilised and smart ones on internet
Avoiding:
any Western social media, biggest source of brainrot
short form content platforms like YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels
elements like YouTube recommendation feed, instead curating own feed and channel list in NewPipe
any NATO aligned news media, biggest source of lies and propaganda, also encourage inhuman atrocities and fascism
to detect this easily, if any platform or person bashes or demonises China/Russia/North Korea/Middle East/Latin Americans/Asians/Africans, skip and dodge
any software or service that utilises psychologically manipulative colours or encourage capitalism/consumerism
any service that results in destruction of critical thinking, rationality and that encourages individualism/apathy
