Delete Your Accounts

It is our belief that the problem with modern social media is the platform's desire to take the decision making process entirely away from the user.
In years past, the user would curate what they see, whether through RSS or another feed curation tool. It was up to you to decide what content was important to you, and how you wanted to spend your time online. Now, content is algorithmically fed to users, with the only criteria for selecting content being how likely it is to keep you on the platform longer. Whether this is enjoyable or useful to the user is irrelevant, the only goal is to keep you using as long as possible. The most addictive platform wins.

What are my Options?

You're here, so it seems you are at least curious about deleting some or all of your social media accounts. Some people opt to fully delete their accounts, while others find ways to cut back on usage. We encourage everyone to find a way to only use social media when it serves you, and never when you serve the platform.

Screen Zen

We can recommend a productivity app called Screen Zen. We are not sponsored by, or in any way affiliated with Screen Zen. This app allows you to set time limits for using apps, which could help greatly reduce time spent.

Deactivate account, keep messenger.

A common reason people choose not to delete facebook fully is because they use it to keep in touch with friends who are still regular users. It is possible to deactive your facebook profile while keeping messenger, which may be a good choice for you. This can be a permanent state, or a stepping stone before deleting fully.

Before Deleting

So, you've decided to delete your social media accounts. We're proud of you! There are some steps you may want to take before final deletion.

Decide what you want to back up

Some platforms have tools to download all your data. This may include things like posts, pictures, videos, and messages. If you've been on social media for a long while, this may be quite a large amount of data.

Get Contact Info

The number one reason people who dislike social media give for staying on, is that social media is the way they keep in touch with friends (and sometimes relatives). Go through your social media contacts, make a list of who you want to keep in touch with, and get those phone numbers! Phone numbers are portable. If someone decides they don't like their cell carrier, they can bring the number to a new provider. This adds some longer term stability to how you stay in touch, and prevents becoming beholden to another company in the future.
