Just deleted all other social media!

Same. I don't understand how anyone uses stuff like Facebook seriously at all. It seems like super vapid and boring.

and to bounce off Josh's reply, it looks so confusing to actually use, too

It is nice, it feels like leaving a loveless abusive relationship for someone who's always made you happy. 

Hopefully this isn’t just a joke site and it last.

see u on the other side my man ^_^

I don’t think it’s a joke site. It’s a lot of effort to make and upkeep. I wouldn’t put it pass the internet though lol 

Spacehey has a lot of passionate people who want to see it succeed, so I'm more optimistic about it 

George, the site is a year old and is steadily growing. SH has articles written about it and have small mass groupings, but i think this is the first time its trended on twitter

I don’t think we all really knew what we were getting ourselves into when we joined the big social media platforms in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s. Who could have prophesied they would have exploded into multi-billion dollar companies who develop the most sophisticated ways to exploit user data to get rich?

I've also deleted all my other social accounts. I preferred being on the internet back in the day when I wasn't consistently being sold and marketed too in the way they do today..

Carson:

That's where I'm starting to head to. Facebook has been nothing but drama for me for the past 5 years but I'm happy Facebook introduced me to this website  

idk this website seems like a leftist reddit to me, which is fine, but i'm still an addict because i need the escapism from my irl life, you know? congrats on having self control tho!

We didn’t know how good we had it on MySpace till it was gone.

Awesome to hear that more and more people are doing this. 

I did this 2 days ago - even deleted all of the music I’d recorded and posted.

i really have been enjoying the slower pace since i got rid of 99% of my social media. <33

in the process of doing the exact same thing....Modernity is so scary, especially the direction corporations are handling social media these days.

slayyy

bc of bad friend experiences (where i was also at fault cus im low key petty), i decided it was best to remove everyone i dont actively talk to on social media and remove apps that i dont even use 90% of the time. then it evolved into me only using one app to talk to my frineds, and now ive deleted all the other apps, and the only app i use is one where i dont have to look at all these posts about how good/bad someones life is, comparing it to mine and overall being miserable because of what i consume daily. i just deleted the last app today and it really felt like i just healed some sort of wound i created when i wasnt even 12. proud of myself and everyone who decides this is the best decision for them <3

I kinda did the same thing!

I deleted everything ecxept insta, cause I talk to most my friends on there and i post my art there, I got one of those old skool phones where u can't have any social media cuz it's too tempting for me, it's really working out great for me! I noticed that since I've made that decision I'm starting to get better mentally :)

I agree with you about the social media thing, it just brings u down man, there's nothing social about it anymore. Just you looking at seemingly perfect people with their "perfect" lives. They just start getting into ur brain and u start thinking that that is how ur supposed to live and what ur supposed to look like and it's just depressing. Platforms like this are way better, u can just talk to ppl n show the things ur proud of, it's way better :)

p.s I'm rlly proud of u for making that decision!!

I'm going to try my best to be brave enough to unplug from the other social media sites. I feel so dependent on them to see my friends and family, and I'm worried that if I disengage they will stop interacting with me. I think that social media has evolved to that kind of thinking, which is so toxic. Why should I have to perform for their communications?

I did this years ago once I realized there wasn't an audience for the type of content I wanted to post. The returns I was receiving for the input were also very unsatisfying. I've never really been one for "dopamine hits" in the first place? Not to mention the only way I achieved this was through creative works such as digital art, and while very fun sometimes (and I won't humbly say I don't make nice pieces every now and then), performing for others is exhausting and shouldn't be the core motivation for creating save for those who profoundly enjoy it. It feels nice to have approval for maybe a miniscule few seconds, but at the end of the day everyone is socially isolated.

I stopped using most social media in 2021 and just used tiktok, but i feel like i want to delete tiktok now because its getting too toxic nowadays.

I still have socials to text friends n post memories on my private account because the main account just feels so depressing and pressuring. I found spacehey and i really love it its so fun.

I have three major social media sites left! (not counting youtube). I only have one of them to check up on my friends, another that i'm trying to stop using, and another based off of that one that's a collage maker that I actually really like (although might stop using out of boredom after a while). Youtube I don't use often but I may rely on it more once I stop using the other social media sites?

Im currently trying to dumb down my smart phone. I deleted instagram but i gotta admit ive become addicted to a lot of other apps >:((( 

I'm on Facebook because everyone I know IRL is on there but I've never liked it. As has been said it's boring as hell and intrusive and restrictive and the community standards are absolute nonsense. Even THEY don't know what rules they're enforcing.

I'm a "Power Admin" on Facebook meaning I'm in this special group that Facebook employees interact with and they won't even discuss their rule enforcement policies or privacy policies with us. But it's next to impossible to admin there because they're completely inconsistent about their own rules. Anything about those topics are deleted. It represents everything I hate about the modern internet. Twitter isn't much better, but people think it is for some reason.

Discord is OK, it reminds me of the Yahoo chat rooms a bit. But it's harder to meet people on there.

Hopefully I can get to where some of you are and be totally off these modern platforms entirely. The only one I might keep is Discord.

same gotta keep Tiktok ho

Honestly, I want to be like you! But it seems to me that without other social networks, life with people will be quite difficult.
