Tired of...
Ragebait? Misinformation? AI slop? Propaganda? Scams? Brainrot? Intrusive ads? Bots? "Discourse"? Extremism?
What are you waiting for?
DELETE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA
You have nothing to lose.
But how will I...
Communicate with friends & family? If they care, they'll be happy to text or call.
Meet people? Get to know your neighbours, coworkers, and/or classmates. Join a club, gym, volunteer org, activist group, church...
Keep up with politics & culture? Read the news & magazines. They're not unbiased, but they're still better sources of information.
Deal with all my newfound free time & peace of mind? That's for you to figure out.
But I don't see any of those things in my feed. You just need to tailor your algorithm.
So you've somehow managed to make social media agreeable for you, despite the efforts of big tech. Social media algorithms are designed to push engagement bait & ragebait, because this keeps users scrolling, maximising profit. Many people try to customise their social media and are still shown this content.
Even if you believe your own social media use to be harmless, you'll still benefit from quitting. What are you missing anyway? Is it worth your time & attention span? Is it worth the money that big tech is making off of your personal information?
