    It’s a big corpo site with a bunch of normal people using it. Theirs no hope in them leaving no matter how bad it gets because “mai friends are all on it”.

      When I deleted my Instagram, I was initially hesitant because “my friends were all on it.” But when none of them ever spoke to me again outside of Instagram, I understood that they were not friends.

        Which is good that you know now.

        Not being on social media has helped me connect with friends more if anything, when i meet them irl they can tell me about their vacation, their new dog etc. because i didnt see it. Interacting with friends got human again and not a “yep seen that on fb” conversationkiller.

        I also do not ever miss any of the people who i thought were important to keep touch with. Because i got their phone number and they got mine we COULD contact each other. But guess what we dont.
