I deleted Facebook the day of the Snowden leaks and haven't looked back. LinkedIn is the only social media network I still have an account on, and I only use it when I'm on the job market.

It's been fantastic to not have to worry about all the drama for a decade now.

I can definitely think of at least one other social media site you have an account on!

Hah! You beat me to it! I do agree with the overall sentiment however. I think it's important to see whether your relationship to a given social media is healthy or not. For me, my relationship to reddit, facebook, and twitter were unhealthy, so I deleted them. That's not going to be true for everyone; I definitely know people who use them in a positive, life-improving way, that's just not what was happening to me.
