I did this earleir in the year with X (Twitter). āĀ Actually I thought I was just "deactivating" my account and that I could return later. But apparently X fully deletes the account after 30 days. This was unintended, but I'm really glad for how it worked out. Don't miss it at all.
Where I'm at now with the other platforms, IG and FB, is that I'm genuinely asking that question āĀ can I use these in a way that builds up and moves me toward the "best version of me" or is it an overall net negative?
I'd like to reframe my engagement so it becomes a positive, but if I cannot do that I am going to deactivate my accounts.

a couple days ago i said farewell to the horrible brainrot app ive spent almost every day on for the last 9 years (wouldāve been 10 in august). ultimately, i decided that not every thought needs to be broadcasted to the world (or my friends). or to have things iāve said in my teen years still be searchable or relevant. i just donāt think i can use social media like twitter in a healthy way right now, and thatās okay! i think that deactivating my account was the best step forward for me at this moment. also twitter is generally a cesspool.

Just delete yr twitter. Or BeReal. Or perhaps archive all yr instagram posts. Much better alternative and a good reminder that itās all fake and arbitrary

Iām not talking about disabling Iām talking about deleting your fucking Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, whatever. The posting, scrolling, liking is helping nobody. Hardcore for some but the path Iāve chosen
