Is deleting social media like facebook and instragram basically the modern day version of an ego death?

>> No.15560957

why would you have either of those in the first place?

i hate facebook absolutely fucking hate it. I don't' even think other social media is really that bad. Instagram has just fucking pictures of interesting shit you can follow MDE/ /g/ shit architecture stuff tiddies anime whatever same applies to twitter and so on. However facebook is the fucking satan of it all. I have deleted myself multiple times but have one just incase some family member wants to some some garbage. Everytime I step into that realm I get sucked in to seeing how much I fucking hate everyone and shitty the world really is.

Yes honestly. I have deleted all of these 2 years ago and it feels like my social status is literally at zero compared to when I had them. Literally so easy to sway bitches and slide in DMs now life is just kind of boring but I have a lot of time to better myself instead of trying to keep up with the status quo. There’s a good and a bad to it.
If I could go back, honestly I wouldn’t do it but then again I think I would eventually down the road. Being like everyone else is really a detriment to my psyche.

i deleted all of my social media at the beginning of the year. the only thing i miss is the validation of posting a beach pic and getting a hundred likes from girls. aside from that its been nothing but good things since i deleted it. twitter especially, the retarded leftist tweets that got 10,000 retweets used to make my fucking blood boil and now i never have to see them. i probably extended my lifespan by a few years by removing all of the stress that social media causes

Deleted mine long time ago. If only they stop breaching your privacy and taking your data. I just hope VID comes out sooner and shows these platforms how privacy should be taken care of

I got rid of all social media two years ago as well. I have a YouTube profile so I can keep up with a handful of channels. Life is better without it. With all the channels getting banned, I plan on leaving YouTube as well. I used to frequent eight chins every day until they shut it down. Now I just check biz for 10 minutes. I'm so close to living completely off the net (minus occasional queries).

People occasionally ask me "did you see this?" or "did you hear about that?" And 95% of the time the information/event I missed wasn't even slightly important. Occasionally a "big news event" occurs and again I am filled in by those around me. I've started to understand how little what happens in the world affects our everyday lives. By being disconnected, you are better prepared to handle the events that *do* matter. You're ready to protest, or participate, or whatever needs to be done. You're not wasting your time interacting with a screen.

Unplug.

Wish I could leave twitter for the same reasons.
Twitter seems to be the only viable way to market the game I'm making. I stay away from things like Facebook or youtube where it's easier to see that people negatively react to your stuff (downvotes, haha/angry reacts), whereas on twitter, all you can see on the surface level is the number of times something was liked or retweeted, and you have to dig through all the comments to find negative stuff.
Makes PR control easy, but I hate the insane people on that platform. I just block anyone I see in my recommended feed who have pronouns in their bio. And I use my adblock to block the "Now trending" sidebar.

My life improved drastically since ditching all social media a like 2 years ago. Firstly these companies are criminals who sell your information and data analysis on you but make no reimbursement to you. And secondly, you end up needing to spend extraordinary amounts of time using the platform.. just to generate the data for them.
It's retarded. Quit it and get your time back. The only women you'll end up not meeting are either children or sociopaths... Both I hope you don't want to meet anyway.

Lol social media is for grandparents

Real human beings (not NPCs) lie in bed and fantasize about things or do things. I don't care about society or my status lmao, as long as I have a cute girl to date/fuck

Why a man would want attention or to be around other people I don't know.

I mostly do stuff off screen now. I'm even trying to slowly quit 4chan. I ride bikes or walk my dog. I go to the gym.
