Also, I think this is good advice even without the proliferation of deepfakes or GPT spam. I already abandoned social media in favor of small group chats and Real Life long ago, and I know I'm not alone. The only habit I still need to kick is reading too much HN. ;)
I don't think the vast majority of people 1) care about this 2) even know what RSS is 3) will stop listening to podcasts 4) will use email as their primary channel for correspondence.
By all means, do this if it's what you, personally, need.
Hmm. Thinking in this context… Wearing a helmet even in a room of friends looks like overkill from anti-surveillance perspective, but could be a good protection from deep fakes: someone could still record your face with a hidden camera, but it will be useless for fakes because no one knows it's you and on the other hand everyone knows you don't walk around bare face.
This is the way.
