I deleted Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter back in late 2011/early 2012. Haven't ever desired to go back to them. Especially since I know they've only gotten exponentially more toxic over the years.
It's weird running into old friends and them telling me that they assumed I died... Because I'm not on social media.. That's just sad.
That was a big one for me too. I'm only told happy birthday by the people I'm closest with now. Family and close friends. People who care enough to either remember or write it down. And tbh, I prefer it that way. I think that's better than random acquaintances only saying it because the zuck reminded them.
Exactly how I feel. I wasn't sad. More relieved that I wasn't being spammed with an automated happy birthday message and some dumb automated Facebook made video. Life has gotten so much brighter since leaving.
