    Simplify: Don’t use Facebook.

    I haven’t used it in… maybe a decade. I don’t even remember the last time. I never used Instagram. I never used Facebook Messenger.

    People are scared about what might happen if they stop, but nothing bad ever happened. I simply stopped seeing a constant stream of depressing bullshit.

      I haven’t even started since it started 😬 Never understood the appeal of watching people’s fake-lifes. Even less a feed of that.

        For a while it was a good way to get back in touch with people you’d lost contact with years ago. After that, it was still a good way to organize get-togethers. But yeah, the feed has been a shit-show pretty much since the beginning.

      I dont use Facebook proper, but now I’m back to using Facebook because my girlfriend’s family uses it for the family chat. So desktop mode on my phone online it is because that app will NEVER be installed on my phone
