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?

>Are those people just jealous that I have more willpower than they do?
in a way yeah, but they will eventually follow you anyways
i 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
>>
>>519852770
I 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.
>>519852858
Exactly, they are insecure of themselves and want me as their scapegoat
>>
>>519852967
True, esp Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, Discord. YT and X are not as bad but still time consumers.
>>519852770 >>519852858
I 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
>>
>>519852986
great decision. i used social media briefly in my late teens
to fuck girls, but after that, i never used it again
to me, it seemed bizarre to post shit online about yourself
i post on 4chan because its anonymous and ethereal
as >>519852967 said, its all fake and gay anyways
the hard part is once you realize this, you start realizing that all of society is fake and gay
everyone is just doing this faggy power trip bullshit
in a rigged system
anyone who takes it seriously is mentally deficient
despite what the healthcare system will try to tell you
because they will just diagnose you with bad thought
>>
>>519852627
whoever said that is a dumbass. Just look at them funny for not understanding your life decisions. Also you're on 4chan, you failed.

>>519853154

category error, its a rigged system, alternatively
i could make the same error and call you a

A flip phone has significant advantages over a smartphone

>Compact, lighter weight on pocket

>>519852627
I 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.

Dumb normie sheeple gotta follow the herd. They'd eat poo-poo if the marketing was viral enough.

its not the same
you dont have a profile
or a username
or photos or an identity
yes 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 media
i do have finger print door locks
finger print guns
microchips in my body
vr etc


what i dont have is a window for hoards of mob to yell in at me

All 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
>>
>>519855309
4chan is an imageboard website, not social media
I don't just go on /pol/, I go on other boards too
>>519855380
Yes, 4chan allows you anonymity
>>519855429
>window for hoards of mob to yell in at me
Thats Social Media?
>>
>>519855627
For using the internet instead of social media?
I suppose

>>519852627
Deleted 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.

because 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.
>>
>>519855456
you really showed me
>>
>>519855788
Deleted 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

Only went upwards by quitting. It just filtered out who really was my friend and who wasnt.

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.
>>
>>519857439
Makes 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.
>>
>>519852627
Peer 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''
>>
>>519852627
4chan is also social media

Was the guy that was an outcast, scapegoat for problems. Did manage to have a few acquaintances but nothing went beyond surface level.

just remember all these people who are dumbfounded that you don't follow the crowd
They're this type of people that voted for war with Iraq in 2001
They're the kind of people who believe in false flags
They're the kind of people who ostracized and exclude that one kid who becomes a school shooter

Lmfao
>>519858358
Yeah, thanks anon
>>
>>519859400
hey and by no means in my encouraging hurting these types of people by saying they create school shooters
I 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 animals
So 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.

>>519857788
I 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"

I 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.
>>
>>519861168
no 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 have

Like the native Americans you know they had deer all over the place they were eating deer in abalone and everything you know


What scavenger animals are surviving in your neck of civilization now? Raccoons and possums? Scavenger birds not even songbirds I bet
>>
>>519861205
People 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.
>>
>>519852627
Ridicule 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.

following popular opinion is different than a colloquial social media
They're both trash I think we're in complete agreement here

Running 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.

This 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.

>>519855456
He 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.

>>519862702
once you read they're good and they're bad you understand them as a whole and then you love them for who they are

We 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

How about never starting in the first place?
Get on my level, fag. That shit's dumb and gay, always has been.

>>519852627
They 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
