I unfollowed everyone on Facebook which means that my news feed is entirely free of content (conveniently, this includes ads). I now spend exactly zero hours per week scrolling mindlessly through Facebook, but I can still use social login, events, and check in on people if I want to (though TBH nobody in my age group still uses FB).
Edit: script to help unfollow: https://gist.github.com/renestalder/c5b77635bfbec8f94d28 https://gist.github.com/renestalder/c5b77635bfbec8f94d28
Similarly: no FB or Twitter app on my phone, and a time limit of 15 mins set on Twitter and other "mindless" apps.
Related: turning off email notifications was the best thing I ever did for my sanity.
