@aimee80 First I started looking for alternative ways to get information and updates e.g. from artists, galleries etc. and made a backup from my IG data. Then in turns, I cleaned up my bookmarks, posts and stories, while remembering good times and wonderful encounters. At the same time I made myself familiar with the Fediverse and its possibilities, well and the mostly fun crowd here. As mentioned, I also made a little site for my friends, which also took some time, since I am not used to this kind of tinkering. Yes, like you said it can be an addiction and I get that it is hard as f... and there are so many good reasons to stay, but for me the reasons for leaving (as stated in Elena's video) outweigh those. At the end it is an individual choice about what is more important to oneself in regards of integrity, ideals, good conscience, values and personal health. Or in totally different words: Life is too short! 😁
