I got rid of anything Meta related. With the way their algorithm works and the censoring that is going on, as well as the fake information and ai that gets passed around Meta specifically, even if you try to boost certain accounts all it’s really doing is making them money. I find it’s so much more relaxing to delete the apps and not even think about it. You might habitually try tapping where the apps used to be at first but it’s a quick adjustment in my opinion. Just make sure to text and call your friends instead so you don’t start to feel isolated!

i recently began to ask myself why am i using all these apps and do i really need all of them, and i started realizing that the things i’ll miss out with these apps is so much more than without them, i knew i had the idea that my worth was tied to my online presence and i’m happy that i’m getting rid of that mentality.. i had so many memories in my snapchat account but i ended up deleting the account and the app because if i didn't do it than i may never, later that day i removed my twitter accounts and the app from my phone and i’m so glad i did, and i replaced them with healthier and less time consuming apps till i decrease my screen time gradually

I used to spend like 5+ hours a day on twitter and what I found helped me get it down was deleting it off my phone and only looking at it on my computer. Helped me cut down on time without cutting of completely cause there is still stuff I like about the app.

at least, thats what im doing right now. i made excuses to stay on them for so long because they kept me up with whats happening in the world, exposed me to really cool sfuff and whatever. even gave myself a timer on tiktok so i couldnt be on for more than thirty minutes, but two days ago i got fed up and just deleted it. im tired of having a background to all my activities so to speak, i want things to be surrounded by void instead so i can actually feel BORED again and thus partake in more activities and feel fulfilled. all this is to say it may also help if you write down or journal about why you want to be off your phone lol, i made the decision to delete my most used app because i had too much time to think about it during a long class and realized its not making my life any better.
Sorry for the rant, i have lowkey also just been wanting to talk about this..

I know I’ve ranted about AI before but! Just saw another writer who was doing peer reviews as she was writing chapters with another person; until she found out the other person was using AI for their NOVEL! Blows my mind. She removed this person from her document and sent her a kind but straightforward message about how she won’t be working with her going forward due to the AI usage. I feel like using it for novel writing is one of the most insane uses because #1 this person told me that the AI generated parts of the work weren’t even as good as the other person’s normal writing was. #2 let’s say no one noticed and you published with the AI work, so you would be okay if the book did well but it wasn’t even truly your writing that people would be praising?? Not to mention of course the morality and environmental impact.
Also, I was shopping around today for a custom leather stamp to start stamping the leather journal covers I make. Thought I found someone to make it until they said to send the logo file over and they’ll send back AI created renderings of a mockup to approve. Now I am starting the search all over🙃

So we all think it’s sketchy that Tik Tok is already back right? And that they posted a statement kissing Trump’s ass and making him out to be the one saving Tik Tok when he isn’t even sworn in yet? And now Trump wants the US government to have a 50% ownership, aka turning Tik Tok into state owned media just like I thought was happening. And I’m sure most people won’t be able to stay away from Tik Tok and Meta which is so disappointing. I want nothing to do with Tik Tok now because I know the app as we knew it is already gone at this point.
