NOBLE_News@reddit

I’ve been in the same boat — wanting a place to keep up with news that isn’t just headlines from legacy outlets, but also not the conspiracy swamp most social feeds turn into. What I missed wasn’t just the info, but the back-and-forth and different perspectives you’d only get on social. That’s why I built NOBLE (noblenews.io). It feels more like a newswire than a typical social app — posts get credibility scores based on whether people can back them up with real sources, so you still get the interaction without drowning in rage-bait or random noise. It’s still new, but it’s been refreshing to actually debate with evidence on the table.

I quit facebook back in 2012 once I got tired of with seeing what a massive a-hole my dad had become. I just quit instagram last year, even stayed off Reddit for a while. Then I got a job a few months later that requires me to run a few social media accounts so I’m back on fb & ig, and I use bluesky occasionally . It’s such a bummer that it’s almost nothing but ads, idiocracy-level videos, and bile. While I admit that I *have* had fun dipping into some local fb groups to witness some first-rate insanity, I can only take that in small doses and just generally get bummed out by the toxicity. Most of my friends and acquaintances barely use social media at all anymore, which seems healthy.

I just say that I can’t open them without an account. They continue to insist that I sign back up just for them to be able to share videos with me.

Me too. I completely lost interest in Facebook. I only keep it in case I want to find something used for sale. I quit Twitter because of Elon Musk. I signed up for Bluesky, but I don't use it. I was on Facebook so much back in the olden days that I think I'm just sick of it. I dont really need anyone's approval or judgement, either. Once in a while I'd see something I wasn't invited to and feel bad, and I really don't need that either. I'm happier without the whole thing. Reddit is entertaining, but I should quit and keep a healthier bedtime.

No - interestingly quite a few people on my friends list deleted their FB accounts over time. This also included many Gen Z people I met later on as well as people in our generation. What I do is use it much less, basically just for events, invites, marketplace, etc. I wouldn't describe it as a shitshow since Covid ended, but it's much deader than it used to be. Like, all the Millennials who used to be addicted to it barely post anymore. I still lurk on Twitter but I deleted my IRL account there during Covid because it got way too insane. Twitter is obviously much more controlled by AI than ever before. In the old days likes and retweets mattered, but nowadays the algos determine everything you see.

lohunte@reddit

My biggest "issue" with social media is I was having trouble filtering out the nonsense I didn't want to see. I found myself constantly "muting" or "snoozing" people. It wasn't because of political views or anything like that, but I realized I just didn't care enough about their lives to need to know what's going on. I've decided to deactivate my Twitter this weekend. I was on vacation and didn't use it (completely missed what was happening online) but I was having such a great time with my friend, I didn't want to be on my phone. Rage baiting + the low quality tweets definitely have found their way into my feed as well. I deleted SnapChat during the winter, because I'm in my early 30s and was like, why am I using this? Facebook, I've disliked since I was in graduate school. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss my old Tumblr page from that era LOL, I loved reposting quotes on there. Currently, I have an Instagram account. I promised myself that I wouldn't just accept anyone on there and had to block a few former co-workers who I hardly ever had conversations with. They were nice enough, but again...I don't want to have to "mute" content on there. I also blocked my new coworkers before any could look me up. Idk, we aren't friends, just coworkers. I don't want to blur that line. I'll occasionally post a story when I travel somewhere, but I haven't had a desire to post content.

See... I refuse to change my settings to "only see shit I like" because I feel that creates an echo-chamber which can lead to a false sense of moral superiority. Social Media is a cesspool (and one can argue Reddit is the exact same kind of thing) but its also a great way to keep memories, photos, stay in touch, meet people, etc... Somewhere between a horror-inducing hellscape of human nature, and the original intent of Social Media that its first pioneers championed; is reality. To be 100% with yall? I miss the fuck out of original Myspace. That shit was great. You had pics, a song, you could write blogs but mostly people just commented on your page. Much less grandstanding or political preaching. We had the perfect platform way back in 2005 and we buttfucked it to death. Now we get Reddit and X.... Commies and Nazis constantly arguing and memeing each other. Oh well.

When I left X for Bsky, I nuked my X account from orbit. I mean, before I deactivated it, I deleted every tweet, every like, and every re-tweet. Along with every comment and post. (I paid for a service to do it, then searched after it was done to confirm everything was gone, THEN deactivated.) I wanted to leave behind nothing but a smoking crater. Maybe copies are backed up in Grok or whatever, but I wasn't gonna contribute to it willingly. Other than that, I haven't personally deleted accounts, so much as had sites go belly up and, I assume, ended up deleting them by default. (E.g., Friendster, MySpace, etc.)

I haven’t deleted or suspended accounts, but I’ve mostly learned to limit my use with Screen Time (just realized that’s a reason to keep using Safari on my desktop). I’ve basically abandoned my X account (haven’t logged in in many months) and my use of Facebook is less than once a week, maybe even once a month, and I’m only logged in on my desktop. When I do log in it’s to promote the use of alternatives (Mastodon, phpBB, making your own damn webpage), or check my notifications and make at most one comment calling people out on their bullshit. Reddit totally got me with the gamification. But I think the presence of downvoting has kept it from becoming as shitty as X and Facebook. I don’t know why I have Threads on my phone. I open it up and the algorithm shows me the most bullshit takes and it’s difficult not to engage. In terms of the time I spend and the utility I get it’s probably the worst one. I’m looking for a job, so, gotta maintain long-lived social media accounts so hiring managers can be reassured I’m not actually a North Korean.

I only have Reddit. I got rid of Facebook in 2014 after some asshole colleague thought starting a political fight with my husband was a cute idea. It was in that moment I realized that we are NOT supposed to be this accessible to everyone. It freaked me out. When Facebook took over instagram (and became meta) I got the fuck off of there as well. I loved Twitter. But being a hive mind for neonazis and white supremacists made me go insane. So I deleted it last year right before the 2024 election. I never created any other social media accounts. To be honest, the entire idea is horrific to me now. Something something “when something is free, you are the products”. I see all of these stories about the social media algorithms are created to drive people crazy with fear and anger. Because fear and anger drive clicks and clicks=money. We are so cooked as a society and…. Not to sound like an old person yelling at the sky, but the evidence is pretty clear—-social media is a huge reason why.

I deleted everything during dump’s first term and never looked back. If you call this *social* then this is all I have. I have zero qualms about fading out and being left out of party invites because my good friends can always text me. If I get skipped, then I guess we’re just not that close and that’s ok! I’m waaaay over keeping up with passive relationships anyway. I desire high quality, not high *quantity*.

Last “used” Facebook in grad school, then interest groups years later. Only use for Marketplace after Covid. Never got into either Twitter (never felt that 140 characters is anything worthwhile) except for hyperlocal news. Used briefly for covid, deleted everything after Musk. LinkedIn - lol. Not a chance. Never threads, Snapchat. BlueSky, but I don’t see the benefit except for breaking news.

Twitter I abolished profile shortly after the Musk monkey take over, turned a sour thing into a terrible bot farm for my tastes. With reddit there’s just too much targeted info and subs that I don’t see bullshit, and don’t know who/what IRl friends may be. Disappointing when you can have a live conversation with someone and then next day see them spread Charlie Kirk BS as opposite talking point!

I ditched most social media (TikTok, Instagram & Facebook) after the inauguration. I only deleted the apps, though. I didn't delete accounts because I need to eventually go get all my photos, and also, I'm still friends on there with people that have now passed. It's weird, but I can't just permanently delete the accounts without feeling that loss, even though I haven't touched it in 6 months. I sparingly get on Reddit and even more sparingly, BlueSky. BlueSky can sometimes be just as toxic, just on the other side of things, lol. The thing I like about Reddit is that I can scroll for 10 minutes, put it down, and go live my life. With TikTok, I felt like I would scroll for hours without even realizing it. It was eating up huge chunks of my time. It's done wonders for my mental health/time management. I miss it until I think about all the toxic shit (especially from family) I had to constantly scroll through for the past 10 years.

Whilst everyone was deleting their facebooks in disgust, I clung to mine primarily as I have a band that uses the platform for promotion and also because my father (who was in the end stages of his life) has lost the ability to be understood after a harrowing journey surviving four types of cancer. One of his more virulent forms of cancer involved the lower mandible and he had his lower jaw partially removed around 2019. After this, my half brother and my niece were the only two who could fully understand him. So I took to FB Messenger to communicate since he didn't text. That ended up being the only viable way to talk to him. After he passed away in 2023, I just kept my Facebook. I barely ever check it, and it's there mainly to keep up appearances and because of all the photos I have on there. My X is still up, I resisted getting rid of it for so long because there is still a resistance movement on X which because of sheer time it's been active is bigger and healthier than BlueSky. Plus I use the account to funnel people over to BlueSky. Insta I use the most, because I find it the least objectionable app. I take photos often and share on there, the reels app is good to get lost in and I don't hate it.

Sort of. Someone hacked my FB account a few years ago, changing my profile pic to the Isis flag (and who knows what else!) Despite having sent documentation proving my identity, they still refused to reinstate my account. So I completely divested from them, selling off the stock I’d bought a few days after their IPO, and used the proceeds to pay off my car 2 1/2 years early. Not long after, their stock took a huge dip. Yeah, it has recovered since but I’m glad to be rid of them. At my high school reunion not long after, when people would ask why I wasn’t on FB anymore, it was fun responding “Because I joined Isis.” tl;dr - Facebook thinks I joined Isis, yadda yadda yadda, I paid off my car early. https://preview.redd.it/dxk2jq06wc7f1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5919b7bb6778abb9b9bf53113f847f50f49e034d

I just don’t feel like we are meant to constantly be available to every single person we’ve ever met and this weighs on me way too much.

I tried Threads, but it was just leftist Twitter, and while I lean that way, I don't need to be inundated with it. So, mostly just this now.

Yeah, quite a bit. Deleted my decade-old Twitter account the day his purchase was finalized. I deactivated my FB account several months ago. I hear less from my extended family now, but honestly, that’s probably okay. I can call or text any of them, when I want to. I miss Marketplace the most, but it’s better for my wallet to not use it. I kept IG, but I don’t post. Use it mainly to send memes and funny videos to my wife. Tried Threads, but deleted that to help minimize the Meta data collection as much as I can. Created a BlueSky account, and use that to get news and sports info. Reddit is the only place I still contribute, and that’s not much. Never did any of the Snapchats, TikToks, etc. I went a bit further by migrating email away from Gmail, and using DuckDuckGo as my browser of choice. Now, I feel like I’m off the grid just enough to feel better about my privacy and mental health, but not fully disconnected and inaccessible, either.

I have Facebook solely for the local groups and marketplace. I do not post nor care to see friends posts anymore. There’s strangely lots of local groups with events that happen I’d miss out on if I deleted it, so I keep it for that purpose. IG I enjoy and have curated my feed to have what’s important to me. I don’t really post anything much myself. X I have solely for when someone sends me a link I can open it. Scrolling X is too damaging for my mental health otherwise. Reddit I am active on, but I’ve harshly curated my feed over the years and it’s still not enough. I’ve been debating deleting Reddit recently. It’s filled with hatred, propaganda, and more no matter how much I curate my feed. This is one of the few subs I enjoy anymore.

I don't bother to delete anything, I just don't use them. I have an Instagram account, I don't use it. I have a twitter account, don't use it. I have a FB account, which I still use, but only to keep in contact with family (messenger) and to access photos which are kept safe from phone and hard drive death uploaded there. I feel like a dinosaur every time I pop into FB though. So many features have been added over the years that I have not kept up with since I mainly just visit posts from family direct from the notification. I've been there a bit more than usual this last year due to my mother's failing health and death and half the "posts" on my feed are linked from Instagram or threads (the latter I don't have) which makes having a casual scroll a pain as you can't read any of the comments without being prompted to go to insta or to download threads.

I got off Twitter not too long after Elon Musk bought it. It changed almost overnight, and the vibes were rancid. From what I can tell, they still are. Oddly enough, that's the one I specifically miss the most, because a lot of people I enjoy still post on there, and they didn't migrate over to Bluesky I left Facebook and Instagram around the start of the year. Facebook was an easy choice because my feed slowly started to become nothing but ads and bullshit communities with AI slop and construction conservative rage bait. I initially didn't want to leave Instagram, but it's a part of Meta, and, y'know, fuck Mark Zuckerberg. My only gripe has been that stubborn friends I've had for twenty years won't try other apps. It's Facebook or nothing for them, and that's really disheartening. I've always liked trying out new things, so I'll try any new app, and I'm shocked that some of them haven't stuck. But I guess people are just set in their ways. I miss my friends though, and it's crazy that some of them would rather use Facebook than send a simple text.

Twitter. I stayed a bit after Musk turned it into X, just hoping I can hone in on the people I actually enjoy following and ignore the noise. Just way too much ugliness creeping in. I’m not talking typical SM drama. But some really terrible individuals (or bots) popping up on my feed randomly. I only keep Facebook since it’s so ingrained with older family members and friends do a lot of even organizing there. I don’t even bother scrolling as 95% of my feed is reposted or recommended junk. I just use the events tabs or go to specific groups I’m a part of or search for specific profiles of my friends and loved ones to specifically engage with them I do like Threads and how it’s still a bit BS free. Not completely devoid of nonsense. But it’s not what Twitter became. At least not yet. I do still like Instagram and outside of people I know, there’s a couple of fun pages I follow and keep tabs on. Right now, Reddit is probably my most used social media platform. And contrary to its reputation as a cesspool, it’s become one of my favorite places to engage in discussion and for the most part, most of the subreddits I follow or frequent are not that bad.

I would like to jettison Facebook entirely. I also avoid allowing push notifications on my phone - and for almost everything I just use the browser on my phone rather than the specific apps (I drop browser shortcuts onto my phone's desktop, rather than downloading an app). **I strongly recommend this as a first step to anyone who's having problems disconnecting from social media, you don't need it pinging you all the time, pulling you back into its ecosystem.**

I get way too much value from Facebook. Hobbies and clubs I am a part of use it for organizing.

It’s also a great intelligence gathering tool, being able to Facebook stalk, and see people posting breaking news (wrecks, fires, there was a creeper from out of town luring teen girls in a nearby community who got caught from this.). Also I still update stuff sometimes, and it makes it easier to keep up with friends and family who have been kind of spread to the wind. Marketplace has value too. It definitely works for me.

I didn’t delete but heavily scaled back when i looked back at what/how i used to post in the early days and was nauseated by how karenesque it was - I know that was the way back then but I didn’t care to keep doing it. So now i only post basic family milestone stuff and it’s only viewable by a small portion of my ‘friends’ - most are on a restricted setting because I don’t feel compelled to share it all with the world anymore. At this point it’s just me viewing a train wreck mostly and I’m way happier like this.

I still have a Facebook account, I’m part of a few groups that I like participating in, but that’s pretty much all I use it for. I don’t post stuff to my profile anymore. It’s actually tolerable if you limit your use to things like that since it keeps a lot of junk out of the feed. I technically also have an Instagram account because a friend talked me into signing up but it’s essentially been inactive for a long time. I was never on Twitter or Tik Tok and I can’t say I feel I’ve missed out on anything. For anyone thinking about deleting their Facebook account, you can download all your content. I recommend doing that prior to deleting just to make sure you don’t lose anything you might not have considered.

I don’t really consider Reddit social media, though I guess it can be. For me it’s more like a web discussion forum.

It isn’t personally identifying and I’m not primarily using it to connect with people, but it is a time suck and if I don’t carefully curate my subreddits it’s just a flood of rage bait wedge issue politics and disinformation.

Yeah I still have a FB account for marketplace but I do not scroll it any longer. I work in Cyber Security and sometimes I need to look at something on FB or whatever if I am researching something. But I don't scroll any of it any longer. Social media is IMO currently destroying the world. It is a tool for big companies to sell stuff and nation states to manipulate public opinion. Reddit is at least a curated feed mostly. I get posts about Final Fantasy, Dark Souls, emulation handhelds, boardgames, D&D, Xennials memes, or whatever else I want to subscribe to.

Reddit is filled with rage baiting topics everyday. Especially political shit and it's annoying. I get way more of that here. People I know are on Facebook. Family and friends. Randos who have some extreme ideologies are on reddit with way more strange things mentioned. In Facebook I am in groups that match my hobbies or other interests like music. The people are real names so less crazy shenanigans happen. It also forces most people to be more respectful. I'd never give up my one easy contact with real life friends and family, but would easily give up reddit or Twitter etc..

Then I shut it down again and haven't logged back in since. I stopped using Twitter when Musk suggested buying it. Last time I logged into Twitter, other than to delete it, was to take Musk's poll regarding stepping down as CEO. I don't recall what caused me to log in again and delete it entirely, might have been when Musk was attacking Wikipedia or it may have been when he was attacking NPR. I still have a LiveJournal acccount but haven't logged in for years. I'm still here, obviously. I made a BlueSky account but don't use it.

Never used Twitter much, little moments where it was fun were spoiled by the sheer attention drain and pace of the platform. Deleted Facebook, came back due to all the old people on there I can't get ahold of any other way. Unfortunately, I am in an area where MANY businesses only promote themselves or have an online presence via Facebook so I've held on for that reason too. That said, I am literally deleting it this week. I'm just waiting for the download of all my data to be available first. Instagram was fun. I don't know exactly when it stopped, but that one was just abandoned years ago. Makes me sad, I love photography. TikTok was fun, but it got overwhelming and the WORST time black hole so I deleted my account. I joined again for the lols at people thinking they would join Red Note and launch some kind of fairytale Chinese life when the "ban" happened. I deleted it again and I'm gone for good now. I'm here and that's about it now. I'm not going back to a flip phone, but with all the shifts in culture and demonstrated harm that being online so much does, it's no big loss to let go of these things. I also have had to answer 911 calls that amounted to "people cannot be adults about Facebook," and that'll piss you off about all social media fast. Important things can be fun, but being fun doesn't make it an important thing.

I keep it uninstalled because its full of old, religious, angry rednecks who use it like its facebook. I never had any dating apps, as I met my wife just before that boom happened. I assume those are social media. I just use Reddit. But, since the world is in chaos, not so much lately.

I have social media accounts, but Reddit is the only one I would qualify as "active." FB is for the occasional "I'm thinking of someone I knew years ago," football season, and the occasional note to one of my friend Groups.

To me, social media has always just been about following websites or entertainers I like just to see when they announce or release something new I may like. I don't pay a lick to anyone or anything else because the few times I did made me wish the sun would explode and render us all extinct.

I vaguely use LinkedIn, but never post anything. reddit is my only remaining usage of this sort.

I deleted my Twitter account after Musk’s purchase closed. Dumped Facebook when they explicitly allowed bullying and abuse of queer people, which is an actual hindrance where I live as most people and businesses use it for commerce and communication, but we only set it up to sell our furniture before our move anyway, so, fuck it. Have a LinkedIn, which I can barely put up with, but, networking 🙄. Still have an Instagram account which I mainly use to follow one close friend across the country, thinking of moving to Pixelfed for my photographic attention-seeking in order to completely break from Zuck’s toxic masculinity issues. Have a Mastodon account for shitposting and random neural firings. Usenet and IRC were the peak of social media. It’s been all downhill since.

I currently only use Reddit. I snoozed my FB account over a year ago. It’s still snoozed. I had to shut it down because of the 2024 political BS. I personally don’t care about your political leanings because it’s a your choice, not mine, but I had Republican friends…aka MAGA unfriend and block me because I wasn’t MAGA. On the flip side I had blue friends unfriend and block me because I wasn’t blue enough, because I’m all for 2A. Yeah, that shit went way too far especially when I don’t post political stuff and rarely commented on others.

So it's pretty much Reddit. And while I'm not obsessed with it, I probably check the app more than I'd like to admit. I also like that it is pretty anonymous, so no dealing with pissing off (or getting pissed of with) what family and friends I have left.

Why delete it? I just disengaged. It’s been 12+ years since I posted anything, but it’s nice to know I can look at pictures from the glory days when I want to.

I only use reddit anymore, mostly when I have down time at airports or whatever. For me the anonymity is the biggest appeal. I like being able to interact and talk about things without everyone knowing my personal life. I own a couple of businesses and carry a fairly high profile in my region and within my industry, so I try to fly under the radar as much as possible.

I got rid of Instagram and Facebook and couldn’t be happier. I do miss the neighborhood drama in FB groups to be honest. 🤣I have TikTok that I use a bit and Reddit.

Everything but facebook and reddit. And facebook Ive unsubbed from every group and unfollowed everyone except the four immediate family members for which facebook is the only route of communication. As soon as a couple people either die or piss me off enough, I can be done with "meta" entirely.

I did exactly the same thing you did, same timing too. The only thing I have is IG and Threads. I never had tiktok so, I don't miss that. Social media is just trash and I really only had it to keep up with family that i hardly see, but at this point, I don't think this was a valid connection to them anyway.

I deleted everything but Reddit and the 'gram. I only really interact on Reddit and my project picture dumps go over there. I'm good with the least amount of interaction possible with people i only casually knew. A lot of them turned into pretty terrible people online, which I guess they were in person too and were better at hiding it.

I still have my Facebook account so I can get to marketplace, but I removed it all from my phone, so it's just from the browser on my PC now when I happen to go there. Never had accounts for X, tiktok, or Insta, so not really anything there to delete.

Never had or wanted Twitter. Deleted linked in for a while then had to sign up again due to work, but I've left my profile completely empty. Fb and ig for keeping in touch with family. Reddit is more of an antisocial media so it doesn't count, and I still hate that rebranding since the ipo.

First was Facebook, there just wasn't much point, especially after my best friend left FB. I left Twitter sometime around after BlueSky going public (I was in the beta for over a year) and Elon had beyond driven it into the ground with paid subscribers being pushed to the top and many of them being bots who are just there to promote crypto scams and suck up to Elon.

I do periodic user purges. I cut like 20% during covid. And a bunch of people I push to public profile and ignore, so I don't see their shit, and they don't see mine, but we could communicate if we have too. Sometimes for like six months in purgatory, and sometimes forever.

I stopped using the social side of FB in 2015. I actually thought I deleted my account. Fast forward several years, FB Market Place has replaced Craigslist. I went to make a new account just for MP and found that my account was never removed. FB is a cesspool, if you’re still using the social side I am going to judge you. I wish they could de-couple or separate Market Place.

I've deleted my accounts as different social media companies became irrelevant or less relevant to me. I don't obsess over my social media and I'd rather not get rid of something that can be useful.

Dropped Twitter as soon as Elon took over, I saw the trouble waaaay ahead of time. Sucks because I lost 100K followers removing the platform, I did gain some back to other accounts, but nothing like the numbers I had. Honestly it gets annoying to have to maintain lots of social accounts. I have a private facepage for my mother to use to stalk what others are doing from school/college, and I keep an insta to post my creations. I don't do tik tok, I dont do youtube. I don't count reddit as social media as its more of a forum board. I've had a bluesky since its start, I rarely use it.

I killed Facebook and Instagram after the Cambridge analytica thing and twitter after Elon. Only on reddit and LinkedIn, though I don't really consider reddit social media - it's more like the message boards of Old Internet.

psilosophist@reddit

This and Instagram are the only two I use frequently, and this I don't really count as social media, and Instagram is mostly for posting my photography. I keep Facebook around for shopping on Marketplace and finding out about estate sales and whatnot. But I'm a ghost on there. No posting, no commenting, no arguing. It's pointless and the only thing it serves to do is help train the algorithm to manipulate us further. TikTok absolutely not. I've no interest in custom tailored algortihmic content, especially with knowing that I have a tendency to seek escape, and I've seen what it's like to hang out with people who can't stop scrolling on their phones and basically go into withdrawal if they can't watch videos for 5 minutes. I've been reading more. Or looking at photo books. I don't need to know what's going on at all times, tbh.

I quit Twitter in 2016 and FB around the start of the pandemic. I’ve never really used instagram or TikTok. I like to think I was ahead of the curve. I was on FB super early, like mid 2004 and remember when it was actually good/useful but that ship has long since sailed.

marmot1101@reddit

I keep face derp around for keeping track of cousins and remaining discoverable for people I used to know that want to reconnect. I just removed the app from all devices and stay logged out to add some friction. I fully dumped twitter during the early Elon fuckery, but I’d tweeted less tha 20 times in a decade, and almost never went directly to twitter anyway. I avoid the short form videos like TikTok and similar like the plague. My attention already suffers enough from genetics, I’d be totally fucked if I took up TikTok. If I went on a full social media cleanse Reddit would be the hardest to dump.

usernames_suck_ok@reddit

I've never been into social media (I see everyone includes Reddit in the definition, but I don't), but it's mostly hard to not have any accounts because it seems like there will be links to things you want to see there at times. Even news articles link to X and sometimes Instagram and TikTok--especially sports media. I just don't want to post or comment. So, I have accounts but mostly don't use them. Facebook allows me to have some way of contacting former classmates/old friends if I ever need to.

I haven't full on deleted anything yet, but the only thing I actually use anymore is Reddit, and nobody but my wife knows my username. I'll check Facebook maybe once a week to roll my eyes at some of my relatives increasingly unhinged far-right rants, but I literally never post anything there. Have never used X/Twitter or anything else really either.

Delete? No. But I don't really use any of it and have notifications turned off on all of it. I'll occasionally check Facebook marketplace or local live music groups. But Twitter are basically dead apps for me. Don't remember the last time I've opened them. Never got into TikTok nor setup an account. So, no - I never deleted anything, but I have no interest in most of it.
