The more I think about – and use it – I am more convinced that the social media that really messes up with my head, is Instagram. And yet, I cannot bring myself to break the habit.
@Gaby If you’re willing to share (and perfectly fine if you’re not!!) what is it about insta? For me FB is so toxic because I feel an self-imposed responsibility to say something when I see people post stuff that is not just wrong, but very harmful in tone and content. But if I gave in to that, obviously I’d be replying on FB all day every day!
@nathanrhale to me is the time I waste there, the on-your-face stuff that I have no interested in…. to me the Discover tab is the worse, and what really the problem lies, I get sucked into it and tries to suggest thigns I probably shouldn’t be looking at, or really donb’t want to and yet…
@Gaby Yeah I’ve had similar issues with the Discover tab! I worked really hard to curate it and still kinda hated it lol!! I’ve taken insta off my phone indefinitely.
@nathanrhale I have tried that but it’s os easy to give in and re-download it or open the web app, as long as the account exsists
@Gaby Sure is. What I did for FB (and I get it, YMMV) is totally log out on the browser, changing the password to something I can’t remember. I have it LastPass but it is a real pain (requires 2 factor and so on) so that amount of friction has been enough to keep me off it on mobile.
