Delete social media apps

What a feeling.

Anybody successfully cut social media from their lives?
apart from this site yes.

Occasionally watch stuff on YouTube.

Use WhatsApp, but that’s less “public” of course.

Nowt else, it’s all nonsense in my view and haven’t missed it for a second.
 
I do love youTube for videos about building sheds, barns etc.
But I was on Twitter for a few weeks before realising what it was really about. I used mySpace when I was in bands, back in the day. Facebook was summat I took instant dislike to and i have never had an account.
I use Whatsapp cos it is nice to be able to message groups of mates, workers etc.

I never stop being amazed to the levels people go to to apparently share their lives and everything in them on facebook.
But this is the digital world that we find ourselves in. i was 19 years old when I first got access to the internet via university. Even then it was just geek sites about bands etc all in text - not even a bit of smut.
Kids grow up with social media part of their lives. It is just a reality.
 
Got rid of Twitter a while back. It feels good to be away from it.

Facebook - hardly anyone I know ever posts stuff on there anymore, and I have not posted myself for about 2 or 3 years. It seems to be going the same way as twitter. Full of scams, and click bait. I am keeping it for now, but it's really past its sell by date. I know that I will feel better if I got rid of it.
 
What a feeling.

Yes, apart from this. No Facebook, tvvatter, insta, TikTok or anything else.

Watch YouTube now and again but not sure if that’s social media in the same way as the others are really.

I don’t class WhatsApp as social media, more like texting mates.
 
Got rid of mine about 6 months ago (except here). No trace.

It used to literally put me in a bad mood - ridiculous that I persevered with it for so long.




They’ll never catch me now.
I feel this way about FB. It infuriates me every day. It’s almost like a self punishment. It’s really odd that I don’t delete it!
 
I've hibernated my LinkedIn and FB accounts, don't miss them one bit.

Don't use IG, TikTok....only this and Tw*tter. And Tw*tter just for various (reliable) news articles. Don't bother commenting and try my best to stay away from reading the comments.....the level of stupidity is astounding.
 
YouTube is better than telly. I'm not sure it's social media.
I have never had Facebook or MySpace or any of that.
Twitter is dreadful. The last thing we need to know is the innermost thoughts of every gob ***** on the planet.
And i don't understand the appeal of onlyfans. I'd rather see some properly photographed porn than some gnarly bint from Hollyoaks badly lit fadge.
