I have instagram, facebook, twitter and snapchat. I only use twitter and have just deactivated because it makes me want to be like others. A normie who can work and live extravagantly. As ive only just realised it has this effect, im deleting it. But keeping the others.
How about you? Do you actively use social media websites like youtube and facebook? Im curious
I deleted all my social media (Instagram and Tumblr) during my initial college days in 2014 or 2015. I deleted a few Instagram accounts throughout my life after experiencing what must have been persecutory delusions and paranoia. I deleted Facebook and Pinterest in high school, had MySpace when I was really young. Deleted Snapchat in 2020. The only apps I use are Reddit, Discord (to message in the daily check-in how many days nicotine free I am), and WhatsApp (to message two Reddit friends).
Twitter makes me depressed. I end up raising expectations as result. Friends are not much active on Facebook. Had to deal with lot of unrelated posts. Couldn’t figure out what to do with Instagram.
I just dumped Twitter because I dislike the new owner and the direction he’s taking it in. Jumped over to Mastodon. I also have Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and Flickr. I mostly use them to stay in contact with friends, other photographers, and amateur broadcasting buds. I don’t bother using any of them to keep up with celebs.
