I just deleted my Instagram, Im off Snapchat, never got into twitter and I deactivated my Facebook so I could keep up with a few international friends through messenger but Im leaning towards deleting it all together.

I really didnt care about how people from college and high school were doing and I feel like memes are progressively getting worse so I cant jutify them for being the reason why I was still on. I tried deleting apps off my phone but s***s addictive so I just had to get rid of it all together.

Well see how this goes.

Do you think you can live without social media?

I have so im sure I could. Hell this site is really the only place I go to anymore and I dont really consider this the same as other places like Facebook because I dont know anyone here in real life.

Mmm I guess because I dont know any of you IRL and I normally just lurk around.

I also dont count reddit either.

Yeah but I reckon it should still count as social media.

I don't have any social media, unless you count youtube. I'll kill myself without yt, it's the only thing I've got that makes me somewhat happy in this worthless life.

Nahhh I dont think message boards are the same tier as FB, Insta and Twitter. Thats just my opinion though

For me, this place predates social media. And in that sense I vastly prefer it.
I have an FB account, but with very few people on it, and half of them are on unfollow.
I keep it for the few times it is nice to have. But a ton of it is, TMI, for me.

I've always enjoyed the semi-anonymity of Gfaqs.
It's the internet, the way it was intended!! ;-)

Easily.

I don't use FaceBook, Gram, Tik Tok, Reddit, Twitter, or even Tinder.

I already have friends (real friends) since I've known for decades and I'm set.

I think the underlying issue is the same though. Addiction. You sound addicted to this place. I dont think its fair to say people are addicted to Facebook and that somehow you coming off Facebook is some sort of achievement when you remain on here which is effectively filling the same hole in your life.

Maybe I am addicted to this place, but I'd probably say that this addiction is better than the addiction I have to instagram. I was checking instagram literally every 10-20 minutes. I check this far far less so it works. Sorry man, I see your logic but I do see it as a step in the right direction. Its okay if you dont see it that way.

I could do without Twitter, Snapchat (though I may be missing some nudes), and Facebook, but Instagram is too appealing. It's a great place to meet people and the content there is usually content that the same people don't post elsewhere. Artists especially post works in progress or studies on Instagram, but there would be no reason to post them on an official website.

Also, Tumblr was very appealing but got rid of adult content. I don't care much about the porn but a lot of good photographers posted pictures there.

I only have facebook as far as social media is concerned.

I used to have a twitter account maybe ten or so years ago, but deleted it because I hated the random people that would just follow you because you followed a certain account. I had instagram for a few months and deleted it for similar reasons, snapchat I had for maybe 24 hours and just couldnt understand it. Never signed up for reddit, youtube, pintrest, etc.

I basically just have facebook and GameFAQs, if you want to consider this.
