I felt a bit restless but it wasn’t really a big thing for me.

Ya, we still have other options to connect. But one thing I experienced sometime back. These days we don't store contact number as we are connected on Social Media. I had hard time connecting with my old friends. I had to call a lot of other friends to connect with him.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interesting. Is it because you use some other social media ?

I don't use any of the large social media sites. I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram etc. I think they all need to die. I don't feel my life is any worse off because of not being on these platforms.

Very Interesting, even I am trying to disconnect social media for a while. I think I will try to disconnect more frequently. Yesterday felt really good to be always from always online life.

Not for nothing but in many places — including Israel and Palestine — WhatsApp is used as the de facto phone and text messaging platform. Ostensibly, a utility is down right now for millions of people. The billionth reason to break down and regulate Facebook. - Abraham Gutman https://twitter.com/abgutman/status/1445124247005933573

Near zero impact on my life. Talked with one of my kids about it for a few minutes and about how we almost did the same thing to ourselves a couple of years back. So last night, I worked an hour or so on a pond I'm rehabbing, watched some tv with the wife, and fell asleep rather early so I could wake up early and work out.

I went to BJJ class (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) and had a blast making real friends in meatspace, then laughed when my wife told me about how FB was down when I got home. I gave up on social media years ago, it's toxic trash.

This is so interesting. I think you right there will be turn around and people would love to disconnect and live a offline life.

Hadn’t noticed until I read some news about it this morning, I use HN and occasionally reddit. For messaging I deleted Whatsapp this year and use Telegram, Signal and iMessage.

Most of the people in this thread are not using FB social media that is really interesting. Like people have already started making distance with social media and use internet for something productive.
