How I limit social media:

I don't use them. End of story. And no, LinkedIn doesn't count imho, because it serves exactly two purposes, to have an easily pointed to, searchable, public CV and a communication channel for recruiters to try and get me interested.

And that's it. No FB, no Insta, no Twitter, no Tiktok, not even large Whatsapp or similar chat app groups (the biggest is my family channel).

And lo and behold: I live, and happily so. And get news just as fast as everyone else, because RSS feeds are a thing, and probably a bit faster than people who rely on their "social" media feed to tell them what's up, because my RSS feed is controlled by exactly one algorithm, and that's a for loop iterating over my list of feed-addresses ;-)

For LinkedIn I found a script online which unfollows everyone. Now when I open LinkedIn it just shows default adverts.

I came for this comment. This. Author did not limited social media, just cheating themselves.

Just delete your accounts and never go back. The family, the workmates, the children’s school can reach you when it really needed. All other stuff is just litter what they share there.
