I was a part of the nosurf community at it's inception, for what little community there was (given that it was a group of people trying to convince themselves and one another to disengage from the online). I've seen a handful of cases of people like the reddit OP who seemed to try to divorce themselves from the content mills, in spite of the fact that they had a healthy relationship with social media, and an internal drive for these little interactions with old acquaintances that facebook is great at fostering. It's not clear why some of these folks, including the OP, choose to fix something that's not a problem, but the outcome he received is largely the outcome that is intended. The idea of divorcing yourself from social media is to achieve a bunch of subjective goals. Less time wasted, less distraction, less meaningless interactions etc., are all in the eye of the beholder.
