I'm not heavily connected into social media, but I have a Facebook profile I've used fairly regularly for the past 12-years or so. I've been so sick of Facebook for years that I've given serious thought into deleting it on multiple occasions. Recently that desire has been ever stronger due to constant COVID-19 shit, politics being woven into COVID, tons of ads, and then even more politics in the form of ads and "friends" posting political shit related to the news and the upcoming election. I'm honestly sick of it all, and this isn't the first time I've reached this point.
You're probably wondering why I haven't already left Facebook if I feel this way. I belong to an amazing local gaming group that has been very active for years, and beyond video game discussions, we also have meetups and do a fair amount of buying, selling and trading through the group. This Facebook group has literally been the only reason I've kept my Facebook profile, but sadly it's starting to not even seem worth all the rest of the bullshit on Facebook that gets shoved into my face.
Beyond looking for thoughts and advice on my specific situation, has anyone here made the decision to disconnect from social media completely, or at the very least a specific site? Was it a difficult decision? Did you feel happier afterwards? Tell me your experience if you've been in this situation.
