I wish you the best of luck on your journey! I also have slowly been cutting back on modern social media sites over the last 6 years and now only use rednote regularly to passively study Chinese and chat with my Chinese online friend. The only other social media platform I visit sometimes is Pinterest, but I could go weeks without being on it. I have completely cut out Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat from my life. Thankfully I never had a TikTok account. That now leaves me with YouTube and Reddit, which I have had blocked on all of my devices since the beginning of this month. Since you don't actually need an account to visit those sites, they have been the tough ones to cut out completely. I relied a little too heavily on them for entertainment, so now I am trying to find a good balance.


If I may ask, what steps do you plan on taking? Are you banishing yourself from all social media? What about looking something up? Are you allowing yourself to visit only specific websites from before 2013? I probably could get some ideas from you!
