Hello.
I am part of the younger side of Lemmy, and I wonder if there are any teens or otherwise young people that have de-Googled and/or removed all social media.
I notice, that everybody around me in real life uses Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, what have you… hundreds of notifications and messages from other people… and I cannot really relate. I deleted Instagram for my mental health, as some posts were greatly affecting my self-esteem. If somebody were to ask me for my social media, I’d probably just give them my number.
I don’t really know a lot of people around me that have this interest of online privacy (let alone people my age). So, will the (young) users of Lemmy enlighten me?
I already tried stuff like twitter, Facebook but never felt the need or wish to use them. The longer I did was Instagram for like two years. Oddly I didn’t felt anything missing even the few weeks after quiting it.
Maybe my hate for accumulation of notification don’t help me to use social media
