feels like a dumb question but I’m asking it unironically lol. If I alternate eyes when non stop posting will I reduce the damage to my vision 🤔

probably better and easier to just lower brightness and hold the device further away

And get a blue-light filter: https://justgetflux.com/ . I set it to the absolute minimum at all times. Unless I’m doing photo editing, I don’t notice the colour difference.

The phone app is also great. Flux is my first download on any new device.
