&gt; <i>Someone else in this thread mentioned unfollowing everyone on Facebook, that helped quite a bit. But there&#x27;s a lot to be said for declaring social media bankruptcy and being freed from that involuntary compulsion to open up a new Chrome tab and waste time.</i><p>I did this recently (unfollowing (almost) everyone on my FB friend list), and it has resulted in me spending less than 10 minutes a week on the site. I didn&#x27;t do it so I would use FB less, I did it because my feed was full of nothing but hatred and negativity, and to see that from friends and family is extremely depressing. If I didn&#x27;t use FB to promote a couple of projects I&#x27;m running, I&#x27;d drop it altogether and rely on my wife to keep me updated on family and mutual friends who choose to only have contact with the outside world via the FB window.
