I still have my account but I&#x27;ve pretty much cut back my time to a few minutes, two or three times a week. That&#x27;s basically just to check private messages as well, as I have some friends who send messages primarily through Facebook messenger rather than SMS.<p>I didn&#x27;t make a conscious attempt to use it less and less over time, it just happened. I grew tired of the News Feed and all the inane food and baby posts and reactionary or downright misinformed &#x27;political&#x27; posts from people I would have otherwise expected to be capable of critical thinking. I removed all of my family and work colleagues from my friends list years ago, nothing good ever came from them knowing what my friends were like or what I was doing with them in my social time haha.<p>Plus I have major problems with Facebook as a company and its practices, advertising and tracking. I&#x27;m kind of a hypocrite for using it in the first place.<p>I found myself hiding more and more people over time, and then gradually using it less and less to the point where I now just fire up the Tinfoil app on my phone two or three times a week, checking messages from my closest friends who are usually trying to organise a board game day or some drinks in town.<p>Can&#x27;t say my life has been negatively affected in any way, in fact I feel better for not having this extra thing to think about that was basically just a task or chore to me. I&#x27;m starting to think the next logical step is to just stop using it altogether. I don&#x27;t believe I&#x27;m going to be negatively affected in any way.
