Aside from pi.fyi, I was only ever on instagram so it went pretty easy for me. I'm lucky that tiktok's UX is revolting to me.
I framed it like this: Scrolling my phone is not a hobby, so why shouldn't I just engage more with my hobbies instead?

im usually the type of person to doomscroll on ig all the time when bored but only ever post on my main acc like once a month at most. (however I have a bad habit of posting to my spam FAAAARRR too much whether it be photo dumps or memes on the story)
but! as of late (and as of late I mean this past week) I have been trying to reduce ig-use by downloading the screenzen app to reduce the amount of time spent uselessly on ig and replace it if need be with scrolling on pifyi since there is only so much I can do on here at a time without getting bored or needing to wait till more ppl get on at a later point if that makes sense. its just slower and more personal over here which is better for a lot of reasons and makes the time spent on social media on my phone more worthwhile! I def dont think that is exactly what u were asking but ehhh thats my two cents bestie :)

Honestly deleting social media (especially instagram) has widen my capacity for new Real world things in so many ways. Being more creative, having more original ideas, honestly just more time To think!!! I think the first month was an adjustment because it was like a dopamine cleanse, lots of overthinking and feelings of intense boredom
A lot of the things projected onto me I realized were not even insecurities of my own but harbored in my brain because of tiktok/instagram
I did worry about having FOMO and not seeing what my friends were up to but I can also just text them and ask ??? I feel like instagram especially is a very PASSIVE and superficial way of connecting with people. I definitely feel like my social circle decreased exponentially without it but for the better 🧍♀️

Everybody meet Tomato! (government name: Chloe) She is a very very shy but sweet little lady who is one year old. I already feel like we're kindred spirits because we both take a while to warm to people. She is currently sitting comfortably with the dust bunnies under my bed.
