Delete social media apps

What a feeling.

Anybody successfully cut social media from their lives?
Binned Twitter for Bluesky and feel a lot calmer, but it’s poor for trying to follow the football in almost real time.

It’s not Social Media per se that’s a problem, it’s bad actors
 
Still have Facebook, but very very rarely post anything now, so I could switch it off. Would lose regular updates from my sister and nieces, though.

I do use instagram which, not being connected to my Facebook account, has very few people I actually know networked to. It enables me to post my pretentious photography without feeling all self conscious 🤣

Currently I post far more here than anywhere, but am inclined to go through phases, meaning I’ll drift in and out.
 
Got rid of FB and LinkedIn about a month ago. Haven’t used X or Insta for a really long time. So I’m just left with “faceless” social media like this and YouTube. I’ve not missed all the one up man ship on FB and LinkedIn, so I’m loving being free so far.
 
Social media companies are like invisible blood drinking zombies - they feed off humans (like us) trying to live our ordinary lives. Instead of our flesh and blood they take our data and sell it on - a bit like a zombie taking a pint of blood off us every day and we don't realise. They need to keep us online on their platform and will feed us titbits to do it.
 
Was at a family do this weekend and it became apparent I’ve got a high proportion of Facebook ‘friends’ on mute ! 😂😂
 
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.
I thought onlyfans was a ventilation-based website. How wrong I was!
