Instagram has been off my phone for 3 years & I never downloaded TikTok. I have to say my mental is much better, I can stay informed plenty of other ways that are more constructive & less radicalizing/polarizing. 1/6 of news orgs tell the truth, so find out which are lying & sift through them

Substack reader here! Excited to read yours. I don’t really go on Instagram anymore and never had tik tok. I’ve seen being off Instagram has been really helpful for my mental health.

I haven't been on Ig for a while but I just deleted TikTok last week. It was driving me to despair

I follow you on all the platforms I can. Didn’t know you had a substack but I’m subscribed now. ❤

I'm headed over to subscribe now! I ditched Instagram this year, and I have been on Substack a little while. It's definitely where I feel more at home. I like how thoughtful it feels over there.

I've only had tiktok for about 4 months like 2 years ago but I find quitting instagram hard. Yes, instagram friends aren't real friends but having travelled a lot and lived abroad I do have a lot of actual friends around the globe. Instagram has helped us stay in touch and I've met many of them again somewhere else in the world because of that. Keeping in touch through instagram and seeing where everyone happens to be feels a lot more natural that texting people for updates every month or so. It's off my phone now for 2 weeks but I'll redownload it soon

Always breaks my heart when creators sign up at Substack. Isn't their Nazi problem well known?

I broke up w/ those dustys in November 2024. Yt, discord, Reddit is satisfying enough though I have cut my phone use drastically, focusing on writing outside the inter webs.

I just rejoined Insta after ditching it…. There’s got to be a way to use it which doesn’t drive you insane, right?! 😭

Ive found myself in a time where I have less time for short form media, and I feel so good without it. I still scroll a bit but it isn’t that “I need to get to the bottom of my following” urge like before. I am drawn to the longform content anyway so I just stay here on YouTube mostly. Do what is good for your heart 🫶

September has shown me it's time for me break up with IG and Tiktok friends.
Long overdue.
