Didn’t delete, but deleted the app and stopped using it. Very occasionally drop on to look something up, or to browse say once a month or so. I downloaded my data and started deleting everything. I started messaging friends to ensure I had up to date contact info. Then I realised it was just easier to leave the account alone. Never look at it at work anymore, don’t post anything other than the occasional article on how social media is bad for your health! You quickly learn who your real friends are - we have long phone conversations every few months instead. Much more satisfying and meaningful. Interacting through a screen is an extremely poor substitute for a phone or face to face conversation. Attention span improved, extremely focused at work. When I drop back in I always see the same small subset of people posting the same kind of thing: they’re evidently consistently bored or addicted, and there is very little of value there. Still use messenger a bit, but use Signal and SMS as much as possible. Completely stopped using instagram, it’s a whole extra level of narcissism that I can’t stand. I’d love to see some competition in this space. Small simple apps for chat and photo albums and status updates, chronologically ordered, with a small monetisation fee / freemium model. Please, someone bring back functional social networks.
