I’m thinking of getting rid of all my social media Instagram included. I only want to keep the new BeReal app but my only friend on it is my partner. So I am allowing this only. I feel triggered by social media apps and I don’t want to get sick and add 5000 who I don’t know people on my Facebook or Instagram again … I almost got sucked into stupid fortune telling.

I have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram
Don’t post that much just use it to keep up to date with news
It’s more about having access to content from sources I’m interested in
Maybe this could work for you instead of just adding friends

The only reason I keep facebook is just in case I lose all my phone contacts i can still get ahold of people

You could create another FB/social media account, just for family and close friends.

I had one for that but when I got ill I started contacting random people… So I decided against having an account.

I closed down my Facebook and Twitter.
I still have LinkedIn. That’s it.
It’s especially such a relief to have gotten rid of Facebook. I’m glad to not have to face the constant stream of trash.

I have Facebook, but only accept friendship requests from people I know.
I use Instagram to post memes
I have accounts with every major social media platform (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc…) but don’t use them. I just signed up to familiarize myself with them because I freelance as a computer technician and sometimes people have questions.

I don’t participate in social media platforms. I don’t have friends anyways.
But I do like the forums. Mostly because its nice to be able to around and open with people who have/understand MI.
The few people I want/have to communicate with - I like to just use text messaging.

I was far too paranoid when I had social media accounts. I got rid of them

I don’t have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, or any other social media that involves my true identity.
I’m considering making an Instagram account that is not my real identity, that I only use to look at artists on Instagram. Because without an account, I can only look at a few pictures and then it forces me to login if I want to view more art or tattoo pictures.
Sooooo, I guess I might make a “fake” account, to follow artists. I don’t like social media that connects me to family and people from my past.

I would like to see some artists on instagram. It doesnt even let you see the first page. It instantly pops up make an account.
That’s a good idea - making a fake account.

All the one-on-one texts and calls feel very genuine and I enjoy talking to close people that way better. I don’t use social media anymore it triggers me too.

I’m too paranoid to have any digital footprint anywhere online. This is all I use.
