Unfollowing all of the random attractive influencers you follow on instagram

“COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY” “DISCARD ANYTHING THAT DOESN’T SPARK JOY.” You don’t need to have these people in your life. Unless they make you laugh or give you wisdom, their content has no value to you. I followed so many people because of their expensive interesting clothing, aesthetic pictures of places I’m not going to go to, and features of their appearance that I don’t have. If not for social media, their life would not be connected to mine at all! Your life is fine, as is theirs, social media isn’t real. I haven’t unfollowed all of them yet…maybe some day. Clicking that unfollow button feels pretty freeing. I’m going to be a careful mindful brainy netizen in this life. So goodbye niche internet micro-celebrities, parting is such sweet sorrow.

DELETE YOUR INSTAGRAM & START OVER

your close friends (or anyone who brings light and encourages you to authentically be yourself) are the only people you need. i promise. instagram is so so so evil when you’re constantly stressing about impressing people or tailoring your internet prescence to look cooler. as someone who has been chronically online for > 10 years it is SO REFRESHING to just hit restart and have 20 people following you. Like …. make that finsta your main! tell people you “don’t really use instagram” unless you genuinely want them to see you! it’s sooo freeing and fun to not have a social media presence you care abt

If you use soc med with intention, i think it’s really good

Concentrate on accounts you follow, and expect to run out of things to look at. Avoid “for you” and “suggested posts/videos” - when you’re out of Following posts, you’re done :) People have said the internet is full of horrors, and I know that’s true, but I haven’t experienced it. That’s not to brag, just to show it’s possible! And I have spent my time on Tumblr, Reddit, pre-Musk Twitter, YouTube, instagram. Link goes to a post with specific advice for IG and YouTube. I don’t think Twitter can be used this way anymore, and you will have junk shoved into your feed no matter what. Maybe start fresh with new accounts to reset everything, too

Deleting Instagram

I haven’t been on Twitter for years and hardly touch FB, but I had been an active user on Instagram since 2012. I really like taking and sharing photos, and that had always been a fun place to do it. No more. With the changes the content moderation changes they’re making, leaving LGBTQ+ folks vulnerable to be targeted; their rolling back of DEI programs; their willing participation in far-right rhetoric and politics; it’s all too much and I’m out. As if Meta’s platform hadn’t already been increasingly enshittified, this was the final straw to announce how much worse it will get. And you know what? It feels freeing. Better to leave it behind and find new platforms to connect with people.
