If you delete the apps and only allow yourself to use the browser version, you get a better experience
This is good info. I hadn't really thought of it before.
I've also contemplated deleting FB and IG.
I really don't gain anything from either. IG especially, I have tried to keep it to bike related content but do still find my self mindlessly scrolling sometimes.
I've deleted the app before only to download it again after a week or two.The only thing that stops me is I have a few friends who I chat to via FB messenger often. But it would be very easy to migrate that to WhatsApp.

Instagram for example has no reels, no adds and what feels like a better algorithm because of it on the web browser. So like old Instagram, if you curate your follows you will just get one type of content (I only use it for bikes)
You can’t see certain types of dm but it’s not really a big deal.
I have uninstalled all social media apps and just use the mobile browser if I want to use them, I mostly used them for dms so I just got more liberal with my phone number.
When I do want to post something (a vice of mine) I download the app and then delete it
But equally, one could simply hit the delete my account button
I did this to my Twitter, worked a treat, also did it to my eBay and wiggle accounts by giving the passwords to friends and telling them not to give them back no matter how much I asked on a Sunday night
