I deleted my Facebook on January 1st as a New Years resolution and honestly have never felt mentally better. I just text friends directly and share pictures with people I know would like them. I spend less time checking my phone which adds up to more time to do other things or just staying more on task in general. Try it! If you don’t want to delete all social media, start by deleting all your accounts except the one you use the most to _connect with others_ (not to read news or get opinions). It’s 100% worth it

true, all I see on social media is hate (in the comments at least) even if the post itself is genuine or nice. Even in the tech groups. going to leave soon too

As a less dramatic version of this, just go through and purge your friends list. Also aggressively block / hide / unfollow any "shared" things you come across. For example, on Facebook you can hide something dumb someone shares, and then as part of that process, there is an option to "Hide everything shared from this page". If you spend a half hour going through and doing that, suddenly your feed is much less spammy.
