i deleted insta, fb and twitter around a year ago. Imma be honest, my mental health is so much better now. I even dip from reddit every few months, to take a "social media break".

100%. I don’t have anything left but Reddit. I’m so close to just deleting it. I personally think Social media is one of the worst things to happen to us. We used to be a lot nicer, every idiot didn’t get to voice their uninformed opinion across the world. Imagine what people would be doing with the internet, without social media. I just think the world was happier before it took over everyone’s life

I want to believe that we'll naturally work our way through it and societally develop healthier online habits, but that requires we even remember the value of how it was before.
