I watched The Social Dilemma last weekend. A friend described it to me as Black Mirror meets social media in 2020. I wasn’t surprised by anything in the show, but it was more of a final nudge to make the decision. I signed up for Twitter sometime around 2008, and Facebook in 2006. It felt magical. But I’ve wanted to delete these apps for the past several years. It’s interesting that it took me so long to do it. So I deactivated Twitter and Facebook. I don’t think I’ll return to either of them. The exception is I’ll keep Facebook Messenger. I hope to replace Messenger with a different tool.
What about IG? Also, just saw this https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/zoom-fatigue-and-the-new-ways-to-party
