7 years ago I deleted my FB account. The mental relief was immediate.

Since then, I deleted all my social media accounts - LinkedIn (in some insanely magical way I'm still employed!) and twitter. Being the old fart I am, I had no other social media accounts.

Not taking any needless selfies, not posting crap, not waiting anxiously for likes or comments, not reading BS from people I don't know just because some algorithm decided that's a good content for me for reasons I have no control over.

Life is so much better.

I kept LinkedIn account alive. enjoying those spam letters telling me how much xx new contacts I got. might even log in and take a look who's that if/when I'll look for a new job
For me LinkedIn just became another kind of FB, with people writing stupid posts, trying to present themselves as smart and successful and beautiful and PC and blah blah blah.

Not for me, thank you very much.
