I'm usually an early adopter, and was for fb, but recently I noticed my life is much better without fb/messenger/Instagram on my phone. It's been 6 months and whenever I go to fb web to check out I have hundreds of notifications and messages, but never once lost something truly important. They have my number for that. I sense a social media burn out on a lot of people lately. We're not built for this crazy amount of interactions on a single day.

it gets better and better. I'm in my 2nd year without fb and haven't looked back since. Removing linkedin was great too. I never had instgram or snapchat. I had twitter but found it largely the most useless out of them all.

I use skype for chat. I like reddit and sometimes HN when there are interesting discussions going on.
