this is so admirable! I have deleted all social media except insta off my phone, and this might be the final push I need to just go for it!

really loved this!! 🫶🫶 i’ve been afraid to delete my social media or to just leave for a while, but this is definitely convincing. i’ve been looking for more meaningful interactions!

i encourage you to do so!! when it comes to meaningful interactions, i do this thing i saw on tiktok a long time ago called 'waffle wednesdays' with my closest friends. every wednesday, we send each other a 2 min video talking about how our week has been. it's been great for me since i moved abroad and deleted social media, so maybe you could try it too 🫶🏻

i loved this, i’m really thinking of deleting my instagram even though i want to be a digital creator, but instagram is so toxic.

i understand. i have something similar going on, but i try to remind myself that, to be a creador, you need to create. and in order to create, you must spend less time scrolling on social media. that's the only important thing, and everything else will follow. i also think substack is a great platform for creators, so maybe you could try to replace ig for it :)

this makes me want to delete instagram. i've been on the fence about it for ages, especially because i feel i need it working in a creative field. but maybe i don't! i don't know for sure, but i'm willing to find out.
