I'm still working at scaling back my Facebook activity. I point out from time to time that people rely on TV, movies, and specator sports to distract themselves from the essential nature of reality. But I use Facebook the same way.
This blog requires more effort to post, so I'm not as tempted to just kill time by fiddling with it. But Facebook makes it too easy. Scaling back really is work.
I like to think my Facebook 'addiction' is somewhat mitigated by the entertainment value of my posts, but I'm probably flattering myself. Even if my stuff is amusing, ought I to be adding to the general noise of the Internet?
It wouldn't kill me to just STFU.
