That's great if you live like it's still the 90s.
I live like I’m in the 2090s.

Banking is anxiety inducing, but other than that I’m probably better off. I don’t really send anything sensitive.

So the answer is to go back to the 80s and not have social software at all?
I guess I have no sympathy for the addicts, let the social media hyper capitalists consume your FOMO lives, I'll find value elsewhere. It is sad to see how pathetic we are and yet have so much potential.
One issue is other people might still upload information about you, so you'd have to limit your irl interactions as well
It’s really just accepting that data privacy stinks than being a hermit.
