I was about to write the same thing. Thanks and +1. No one needs social media. Phones work for actually calling people. My "sane default" was abandoning all social media. I meet friends and family in person, use email, phone calls, and occasional posts in forums like this one.
Anyone older than 35 can remember not having any social media. Somehow the world worked without it for millenia. How can it possibly be a necessary part of our lives all of a sudden?
Imagine publishing "sane defaults" for lead in drinking water, or asbestos in furniture. How many cigarettes should we sanely default to smoking? We strive for zero when we recognize something as toxic. Same principle with social media.
