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
