Disconnected from Social Media

Just before the start of 2021 I disconnected from all Facebook properties, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. I only used Facebook to see what friends or family were up to about once a week. Instagram was a dangerous time suck so I’m much better without it. WhatsApp I only ever used occasionally. Facebook as a company and platform, is the greatest source for disinformation, and as such ethically I just can’t be on any of its offerings anymore.

I am still using Twitter and Reddit. Both platforms have a high degree of toxicity and misinformation on them as well. If you read the responses on Twitter it is often a sea of misogyny and intolerance. Certain Reddit subs are highly toxic, but many are very useful sources of expert opinion, so with careful curation the platform is very valuable. My justification for using them is fragile though and I can see pulling the plug on them in the near term as well.

Taking this action was immensely positive.
