I HATE social media.
My best friend and I decided to get flip phones because we realized we were too hooked on our smartphones, so now I use my computer more to visit sites like Spacehey and YouTube, and I also dedicate more time to reading! I feel like I’m rediscovering music; I love uncovering new tracks, and I find myself just enjoying music without any distractions. I now have significantly more time for the activities I genuinely love.
I already knew that I disliked social media, but since I stopped using my phone, I've come to see it as simply noise. Sharing on it feels like a performance; in reality, most people don't really care about the lives of their mutuals. I HAVE NO INTEREST IN THE LIVES OF MY MUTUALS (aside from my close friends).
I've realized that every time I return to check for updates, I'm left disappointed because it's always the same posts and the same stories—nothing feels exciting anymore on social media.
In French, there's a phrase I appreciate: "la culture du vide," which translates to "the culture of the void." It refers to something that lacks value and fails to provide any learning, such as reality television shows etc...
I wish that I could have lived in the 2000s... :( They had the perfect amount of technology. Internet was just a place you could explore with limited time.
PLZ CAN WE ALL JUST SWITCH TO FLIP PHONES AND STOP BEING ADDICTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA TT
I'm actually going insane help

omg fr!! I miss when the internet was only accessible by those big ass family computers that were so slow you had to wait 5 minutes just to load a single youtube video xd
Like, it was so much better because it was just an occasional activity that brought joy. Now the internet is everywhere, it became a necessity :(
If everyone just collectively decided to bring this back, life would feel like the 2000s again. But we can only dream I guess... TT
oh my, SO REAL ! Now you need internet for everything (im exaggerating) but for exemple those restaurants that give you the menu thru a QR CODE ... -_-
that's why we need to do a propaganda for flip phones !!! XD

this is honestly exactly how i feel about social media, yet i can't let go of it. i try to deactivate for a few weeks and it works but then i end up redownloading it and getting sucked into the mindless content void sigh.

no bc its exactly the same for me ! I sometimes go check my socials on my computer and end up scrolling :/ I don't scroll for a whole hour (bc it is really not convenient), but I wish we could all deactivate our accounts haha x)
