    So we’re not talking about “influencers”, we’re literally talking about people you are friends with? Hah! Fuck right off! Yes, if enough of your friend group leaves the rest will also leave, that’s the cut-and-dry scenario I laid out to begin with 🤣.

      both my friends but also musicians, celebs, (comic) artists, video creators, activists, politicians,…

      isn’t this what regular people use social media for?

        We’re going in circles now. Everyone you listed uses the service because everyone else uses the service. If you want to stop using it, stop using it, if you don’t, don’t say you do. Cheers.

            I understand your situation very well, because I was in the same spot when I deleted my Facebook 10 years ago. Turns out, it’s possible to do both things. The ability to keep in touch with people was not invented when social media was. It really does just come down to whether you want to be on the platform or not.
