You cannot control others. You _can_ control yourself.
Don’t be the honey in the trap of big tech surveillance platforms. Being on these platforms legitimizes and encourages their use for your friends and family.
Delete your facebook and instagram. Sell or trash your oculus. Buy a domain and email hosting and migrate off your gmail.
This is the social equivalent of just throwing your hands up and saying “it can’t be helped”.
I cannot stress this enough: it _is not_ true. Deleting your IG will not cause your friends to stop being your friends.
Being on these platforms legitimizes their use. It makes the situation _worse_. It is a vote for surveillance and censorship of your most intimate personal connections.
Rather: dropping Instagram means improving the (average) quality of the people in your pool. :-)
Simply turn off notifications. And "pull" entertainment from it if you want, don't let it push content to you.
I find myself going weeks without opening facebook. I still enjoy the occasional doom scroll, but it feels better when I know I'm doing it and not accidentally getting sucked in.
Perhaps. But deleting your Facebook account makes solving the problem of escaping Facebook so much easier.
