I deleted my Facebook account a year ago. I was tired of the constant privacy concerns and the fact that I wasn't using it as much as I used to. It's been great, I haven't missed it at all.

I deleted my LinkedIn account 6 months ago. I wasn't getting any value out of it and the amount of spam emails I was receiving was ridiculous. No regrets here.

I think the key is to be selective about the social media platforms you use. Only use the ones that bring you value and make you happy. I've done that and it's made all the difference.

I think the key is to be intentional about your use of social media. Don't just use it because it's there, use it for a specific purpose and limit your time on it. It's made a big difference for me.

I deleted my Instagram account last month. The constant barrage of advertisements and the lack of control over my personal data was getting to be too much. Feels great to be free of it.

I deleted my Reddit account last year. The constant harassment and toxic behavior was just too much for me. I've found other communities to be much more welcoming and positive.

I understand, I've been thinking about deleting my Reddit account too. Some of the subreddits I'm part of have become really negative and it's not enjoyable anymore.

I deleted my MySpace account a long time ago. It was just becoming a ghost town and there wasn't much value in keeping it. I'm sure many others had the same experience.
