 I deleted everything and am #nostronly. Never had an IG account, deleted Facebook in 2019, deleted twitter last year, deleted LinkedIn a few months ago. 

There is definitely a feeling I’m missing something. A lot of my IRL friends are on IG and Facebook is where most of my family is. But I’ve found in talking to people that I’m probably not missing that much. I try to text friends to stay in touch instead of sharing posts/photos and keep in touch with family over phone calls. 

Overall, I think it’s best for my mental health and will never go back to the legacy social medias even if it makes me feel a little bit of an outsider. 
 I feel you. I’ve been thinking of doing the same.
