Deleting Social Media

I have zero social media (unless you count Reddit.) It's great. Got rid of Facebook 6 years ago, got rid of ig 1.5 years ago. Never had the others. I thought I would miss them, but I actually prefer not to have them. Every time I think about creating one, I just can't follow through.

I have no social media unless you count reddit (and I don’t, since it’s anonymous). I got rid of Facebook in 2016, and never had Snapchat or Instagram (I’m in my 30s and those weren’t as common with people my age as Facebook). I love that no social media means less drama in my life, and less self esteem issues.

I don't have reddit on my phone.

I only have the basic social media and i don't post anything on either.

TikTok is for kids...snapchat is for highschoolers and f*ckboys.

I am not on any social media, I am not even on whatsapp or any texting app. If someone wants to talk to me, they have to do it in person or call.

i use Snapchat because i think the filters are funny. i haven't had Facebook since the early 2010s, same with Instagram. tiktok and the like... i'm too old for. i was never a big SM person though, i value my privacy and always preferred anonymous forums on the internet. 😇

life without SM and people snooping/judging/comparing is freeing. the people in my life only know the important things i tell them about, and i don't have irrelevant losers trying to poke around for dirt they can report on to their minions. don't need that energy tbh.

This site is about as social media as I get.

I thought I was already happy before but now that I’ve deleted Instagram? I feel AMAZING. I never knew how much anxiety it gave me having to maintain fake low effort friendships, low value men trying to gain my attention, seeking validation thru posting stories of my life etc... I feel so happy randoms don’t have access to me anymore. Not many live like this and I feel like it’s admirable

I purged all of my accounts around last December. I've never looked back. I only have Reddit and LinkedIn. It's very liberating. I thought I might be tempted to get back online because of the coronavirus situation, I actually don't miss these accounts at all. Strangely, my closest friends who know I'm not on social media have been texting me on a daily basis! It's really nice to hear from them and actually talking to them directly instead of watching their social media stories/posts.

I don’t have social media and absolutely stay away from guys who’s has every media of social media and into them. In my experience of dating, it’s never a good idea to date those guys. But Instagram or Snapchat could be one way to find out if they’re hiding something from you or not.

I use one and that's fb. I have lived in several states and also Europe, so it's how I keep up with friends and family. It's on major lockdown though. I have zero interest in tweeting or snap chatting. I honestly get annoyed at all the doctored up selfies I see cross posted on fb.

I had to delete OKC. Too many damn idiots.

Nah. Living a transparent life helps me be confident and learn about myself. I have nothing to hide.
