Hi not sure if this is the place for
This but what the hell. Wondering if anyone in here is becoming increasingly creeped out by social media. I want to hear from someone who deleted all social media that was attached to their identity and exclusively uses Reddit to stay in touch with the world. lm afraid I’m going to ‘miss out’ but I’m not sure if that is just an illusion fabricated by social media itself. One concern I do have though is that I will not be able to see what’s happening in the world like news wise. Tbh I trust the internet more then I trust The mainstream media

I don’t have a huge social media presence and it doesn’t stop me from reading the news. You can get news from YouTube or even just from Reuters or AP to get the bare minimum without any editorial. Btw, I would trust mainstream media over “independent” internet news. You don’t usually see baseless conspiracies spread in mainstream media.
Deleted all social media and so far,what is important to know,I always find out somehow. Try it for a week and see how you feel. It’s great not being attached.

I need groups and contact access on FB, so I set my posts so they’re not visible unless they’re public (although that seems to have stopped working) and unfollowed nearly everybody.
Don’t have IG–never really got it. Don’t really do others. I mainly do email and texting and one special texting app for a couple friends. I read newspapers and similar on their websites.
