I recently deleted #Instagram from my phone.
I'm definitely feeling some weird withdrawals. If #meta's products weren't addictive I don't think I'd be feeling like this.
I have to remind myself I'm not separating myself from my friends and family, I'm separating myself from a billionaire's influence over my #habits and #data.

@MeaningfulBits I deleted Facebook last spring or summer (can't remember exactly when) and it felt sort of the same way. My 40-year high school reunion is next year and I'm not sure if I'm going to be kept in the loop, but I'm glad not to be giving Zuck my personal info anymore.

@MeaningfulBits did the same after adding instagram messenger to a beeper account for people that mostly message that way. i open the website in browser a couple times a week now.
