i'm actually doing the same. god knows how many times i deleted and redownloaded the app every time i feel overwhelmed with the algorithm. but i still need to catch up with a certain friends over there, so i guess the only solution is to set boundaries not to cut it immediately by just using the browser when i'm on laptop. so much work has been done so far but i can still see some bits from my friends which is actually good!!!
ive had it deleted for the last month and i noticed immediate improvemetns with my quality of life lol
As a founder who’s run Meta ads - the whole suite is the worst thing happening to your life / mind. And just how comfortable people are with 20-30% of their day being dictated by an algorithm that wants to push you to buy something or the other. Happily offline, I only visit for a designated 2 hours every week to catch up on reels that my friends have sent me
I wish I could get rid of it but unforutnately it's how I keep up to date with a bunch of local bands - otherwise I genuinely would just be browser-only every few weeks
greebo i think it really means to what updated means to you... I still check it daily, like you I enjoy following what going on around my area, different events, performances etc, just allowed me to have more of a clear mind using it. But I do believe everyone finds their right balance in different ways, and following local bands is a noble endeavor
I did that before the new year and I have so much time now! it feels so nice to feel like I'm in the 90's ahha. Also did that because I need to get work done so will maybe go back when I've got my head straight about work
handycam_in_hand right? It has a bit of the nostalgia of logging onto MSN on your family computer
I deleted it again a few days ago. healthiest decision ever. my days feel so much more energetic. that app is dark
courtnipoe deleting it really is the best thing. and after not using for a while you really can understand what you enjoy about the app, if anything at all. thee reason i keep using in browser is because i like being able to reach out to long time friends and have a casual conversation and follow local cinemas, museums etc so I can keep about with interesting activities around my area
