I outright deleted Facebook and Twitter (or at least, my established profiles on 'em, to the best of my ability). Also ditched Instagram while I was at it, as I felt like I 'should' post stuff to it, not because the things I saw there were bothering me. I made a twitter account specifically to not have any friends and not do anything, and treat it the same way you're treating it. Same reaction: it's been a massive improvement. I wouldn't go back. Looking at that stuff from the outside now, it feels like a trap. Amazing how they can turn making you miserable, into an addictive behavior. We are apparently, as a species, more driven by panic than pleasure, and the algorithm optimizes for this.
