I remember when I quit social media I had people dub me "crazy tech-free". Even though I KNEW this was the best decision in my life(ALOT less time waste, MORE privacy). Are those people just jealous that I have more willpower than they do?
>>519852627>Are those people just jealous that I have more willpower than they do?in a way yeah, but they will eventually follow you anywaysi quit caffeine recently, and now other people around me are quitting too
Crab in a bucket mentality.Or social media has become such a core part in their lives they think you must be subhuman troglodyte tin foil hatter to not use it.
some "people" don't have the mental capacity to realize social media is a gay dick measuring contest."adults" who ought to know better are literally killing themselves, because some zoomer with daddy's money posts pictures
>>519852770I quit caffeine because it was riddling me w/ bad anxiety. I quit Social Media at 16/17 now I am almost 19, best decision of my life.>>519852858Exactly, they are insecure of themselves and want me as their scapegoat
>>519852967True, esp Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, Discord. YT and X are not as bad but still time consumers.>>519852770 >>519852858I forgot to mention when I did it I downgraded to a flip phone to make sure I wouldnt be able to use social media at all
>>519852986great decision. i used social media briefly in my late teensto fuck girls, but after that, i never used it againto me, it seemed bizarre to post shit online about yourselfi post on 4chan because its anonymous and etherealas >>519852967 said, its all fake and gay anywaysthe hard part is once you realize this, you start realizing that all of society is fake and gayeveryone is just doing this faggy power trip bullshitin a rigged systemanyone who takes it seriously is mentally deficientdespite what the healthcare system will try to tell youbecause they will just diagnose you with bad thought
>>519852627whoever said that is a dumbass. Just look at them funny for not understanding your life decisions. Also you're on 4chan, you failed.
>>519853154>failedcategory error, its a rigged system, alternativelyi could make the same error and call you a>retarded loserfor taking a rigged game seriouslyrethink your position
>>519853129A flip phone has significant advantages over a smartphone>Battery lasts much longer, like 3 days average>More privacy, ofcoarse>Less addictive, due to minimal features>Compact, lighter weight on pocket
>>519852627I remember telling my ex's family I didn't have social media, it was like I'd just told them I'd landed on earth from another planet. They were incredulous
>>519852627>Why are people who quit social media ridiculed at?Why must we have a cell phone to exist in society? In the future, it will take an act of congress for people to opt out of cell phones.
>>519852627Dumb normie sheeple gotta follow the herd. They'd eat poo-poo if the marketing was viral enough.
>>519853154>you failed I go on more boards than just /pol/ >>519853366Hm>>519853388I think we should go back to landlines.
>>519853491LMAO
>>519852627Because 99 percent of people are retarded.
>>519852627>I remember when I quit social media>quit social media>what is /pol/oh man, anons are just as dumb as the bots in this shithole. perhaps even dumber
>>519855309its not the sameyou dont have a profileor a usernameor photos or an identityyes governments surveil everything we say here,but 4chan is not "social media"social media is what it is because there is a reputation attached
i dint have social mediai do have finger print door locksfinger print gunsmicrochips in my bodyvr etcwhat i dont have is a window for hoards of mob to yell in at me
>>519855380okay glowtard
>>519852627All I see are niggers and whores attempting to shame me for still using the Internet. 'Oh! Do people still do that?"How tf would I know what people still do, you trendy bitch, give me my fucking weed and shut your cocksucking mouth, stupid slut.I fucking hate society so much you have no fucking idea.I don't even like the Internet, particularly. Just hate human beings in person even worse
>>5198553094chan is an imageboard website, not social mediaI don't just go on /pol/, I go on other boards too>>519855380Yes, 4chan allows you anonymity>>519855429>window for hoards of mob to yell in at meThats Social Media?
>>519855627For using the internet instead of social media?I suppose
>>519852627Deleted my Facebook years ago because it was full of single mothers posting their kids and the constant media headlines in the timeline feed,there was no privacy at all and it was irritating, don't let them make money from you.
>>519852627
>>519852627because normalfags are 100% crabs in a bucket, 24/7.they cannot allow you to stray from the group in any way, even if the way in which you stray from it is a positive one.they need complete compliance with the group, because they are all useless retards who'd instantly perish without it, so they can never allow anyone to leave.
>>519855456you really showed me
>>519855788Deleted my Discord 2 yrs ago because It was just downright degenerate. Deleted Snapchat 3 yrs ago after using it for 5 months because people there were snobs
>>519855843Cool image, downloaded.>>519855889>who'd instantly perish without itOnly went upwards by quitting. It just filtered out who really was my friend and who wasnt.
>>519855674>social media is not social media, i use other social media tooterminally retarded and proud of it
>>519856216
>>519856216your argument was already defeated. you can leave now
>>519853129What flip phone would you recommend anon, I want to do the same thing
>>519852627Who cares
>>519855724Nobody uses the Internet without also using social media. You are deluding yourself if you think otherwiseYou stupid fucking "gotcha" idiot.
>>519856667ZTE Cymbal 2
>>519856742
>>519856790Can you give me an example then?
>>519856210>Only went upwards by quitting.Yes, because you aren't a retarded normalfag.Those guys can't even really decide what to do with their time on their own. It's why for basically all of them, life peaked in high school. Because at that point in time, their parents, friends, school and so on still forced them to actually do something.Once that force disappears they just spend their lives waging and picking one of the group's approved timesinks (like social media) and that is the rest of their life from now on.
>>519857439Makes sense. Had no true friends in high school. As for them they had plenty of friends, and ironically they think they are smarter than me because they are going to university.
>>519852627Peer pressure that's how facebook became mainstream because if you did not have facebook account back in 2010s and haven't follow all your friends and family member's and actively posting you were distancing your self from them and hiding something ,,illegal''
>>5198526274chan is also social media
>>519857657Was the guy that was an outcast, scapegoat for problems. Did manage to have a few acquaintances but nothing went beyond surface level.
>>519857796Its an imageboard forum. Much different concept than social media
>>519855889this nazi gets it
>>519852627A girl in Amsterdam asked for my Instagram and nearly had a heart attack when I said I didn't have one kek
just remember all these people who are dumbfounded that you don't follow the crowdThey're this type of people that voted for war with Iraq in 2001They're the kind of people who believe in false flagsThey're the kind of people who ostracized and exclude that one kid who becomes a school shooter
>>519857800Never was involved in clubs in HS unlike them>>519858282Lmfao>>519858358Yeah, thanks anon
>>519859400hey and by no means in my encouraging hurting these types of people by saying they create school shootersI think it's important for everyone in this thread to recognize they have a high IQ and the people were criticizing are acting like in group animalsSo don't be scared of the animals that get scared when others don't act as part of their own group and don't hurt them just recognize their weak and have love for them anyway
I never joined social media, I don't have an online persona, but I lurk there because everyone joined and I need that shit for job reasons and other info.
>>519857788I remember that if you said "I don't have facebook" people translated it to "I have it, but I hate you, so I'm going to pretend I'm not subscribed"
>>519852986I wish I could quit caffeine. I went almost two months without it and was always tired, no matter how much water I drank or how clean I ate. Godspeed, anon.
4chan is also harmful social media. The people you type with here are not normal. They're usually quite fucked in the head. Training yourself to be schizo.
>>519861168no this is not social media
Because it easier to gossip about them and thats important
you guys ever think about what animals survive in the civilizations that we haveLike the native Americans you know they had deer all over the place they were eating deer in abalone and everything you knowWhat scavenger animals are surviving in your neck of civilization now? Raccoons and possums? Scavenger birds not even songbirds I bet
>>519861205People still train themselves to have the 'in group's belief and rarely stray opinions. If one opinion is strong they're still shamed and pressured to adhere to group think.
>>519852627Ridicule is a weapon.The ingroup doesn't wanna find out they're walking off the edge of a cliff or heading towards it, so they ridicule people who notice it and turn around.
>>519861341following popular opinion is different than a colloquial social mediaThey're both trash I think we're in complete agreement here
>>519861168>Anywhere where you can have a discussion is social mediaYou are mindfucked by the machine
>>519852627Running scripts to delete every post, reaction, and DM I had ever made across Facebook and Twitter, along with scrambling my profile name and details, forcing an unfollow/unfriend on everyone, changing the login details to temporary 24 hour emails and then deleting everything was the best decision I made almost 5 years ago. All I have now is my Steam profile and my mobile number.This caused major controversy with work and family. They claimed that I was a suicide risk, but I had told them months before I deleted it (with total truth and accuracy) that social media was all clout chasing, hollow, depressing, and full of absolute fake cunts, and I was intending on deleting it all.No. Work was shitty because they could no longer see what I was doing online and had no way of keeping tabs on me outside of work (ex-Defence here, it was mandated that you have your chain of command added or followed. I'm not joking, milpers cunts in the pogue world will confirm). I hardly told them anything as well and so they even pulled me aside 3 weeks after I purged it all and said to me "we think you're a risk, either by suicide or by intent to harm others". The bosses constantly complained about it.My family were a bit better about it, but an aunt took extreme offence at me deleting my shit. She accused me of removing her (lol) and I was disowned by her via a text.Fuck social media lads, purge all your shit and stay away from it.
>>519855309>what is /pol/not social media. Imageboards, forums, messageboards, usnet groups, etc are not social media. I shouldn't have to explain the difference.
>>519861298I think its funny that ants in New York live off spicy chicken wings and corn dogs
>>519852986This place is social media powered by the same algorithms that want hate clicks for engagement with the same type of metrics tracking with the same compromised mod teams as any other social media making the same deals with five eyes while running scams and third party networks to harass people while using personal information against you if you give them a hard time.
>>519855456He is right and you’re an idiot
Imagine you woke up and suddenly had the power to read peoples minds. At first it would probably be fun. Maybe you would hear some funny or interesting secrets. Maybe you would find out someone had a crush on you. Maybe you could use this ability to pass a test or make money. But I think it would eventually feel like a curse. You’d see what people really thought of you. You’d hear their most selfish and juvenile thoughts. You’d learn things about people you admired that would make you disgusted with them. Eventually this power which at first seemed so fun would weigh on you to point where you isolated yourself from people. That’s what social media is. Even when it’s carefully manicured to show a fake reality you’re still reading someone’s gay diary. I quit social media because I wanted to like people, and I can’t like people if I know all their gay little thoughts and opinions.
>>519856790See how these facebook boomer tier addicts lash out when you disparage their dopamine addiction. Fascinating
>>519860559Exactly, Empathy is a superpower. IQ im not sure, Id like to think I am above average but apparently everyone likes to say that, so I dont know.>>519861168Please stop confusing imageboard forums w/ social media like a few others did.>>519861630Wow, thats invasive. I am sorry that happened. And yes.>>519861393Exactly.
>>519862702once you read they're good and they're bad you understand them as a whole and then you love them for who they areWe can't just love people who are the same or just or different we have to look at it as a hole and say there's good and evil in the universe and we want a project from our ourselves intrigue and curiosities so that we may love the other
Wife and i deleted all social media within one month of being married because we agreed there were too many thirsty simps and roasties on each other’s friend lists and it was easier to just delete the whole thing as it had no value other than comparing ourselves to others
>quitHow about never starting in the first place?Get on my level, fag. That shit's dumb and gay, always has been.
>>519852627They want to keep tabs on you like some unpaid glownigger digging up information or making a case from your posts. It is harder for them to determine your personality & recognise what you are about, they fall for easily faked curated profiles, you could be a rapist murderer, but because you post kittens, rainbows & clouds on social media they would never suspect or believe it
>>519863583The amount of women who hate on & ignore me for being a tranny is disproportional to the amount of women who support trans rights online
>>519852627I tell them I'm not a garbage human who needs to broadcast a fake persona to interact with others and move on.
>>519852627Maybe in the early 10's. But now most people would agree it's shit. They still use it though.
good
>>519863811You really should kill yourself though.
