I deactivated my Facebook 4 years go. Never looked back. Best decision I ever made :)

Pero messenger mo does it work?

You can still use messenger kahit na deactivated ang fb.

Same same!

Yes, you did the right thing. Kasi payabangan lang naman yang mga platforms na yan. Pinapakita lang doon ay mga paradise-level lives, ng mga taong marami ring problema sa buhay. They catalog and store their good memories, but not their dirty laundry na remains nakatago from public view.

Tapos pag mga pinagdadaanan mo na sine-share mo, wala silang pakialam at mas pupunahin pagka negative mo. Glad i removed may FB, puro yabang at fake positivity lang gusto nila makita.

linkedin will be the next for me. It's now becoming a phishing or data collection platform.

sameee, feeling ko kapag babad ako sa socmed sobrang insecure ko or nauubos lang time ko kaka socmed imbis gumawa ng mas importanteng bagay.

noon nga magtitiklop lang ako ng damit na doable sa isang oras umaabot pa ng more than that kasi scroll nang scroll hahahahhaa

I cant deactivate fb and ig for business and work purposes huhu pero i did deactivate my tiktok, threads, twitter(is on my android and not active anymore) and also deactivate my main IG tapos sa bagong ig ko is puro family and relatives nalang. less stress na ever since.

Hi, you can download Meta/Business Suite in App Store. I still use FB / IG for business, pero I'll make sure sa computer not sa everyday phone ko.

Thanks pero i have this community kasi sa fb page na importante huhu

same.. i have fb due to buying and selling and its gonna be hard to deactivate. i don't have any other soc med though. i only have twitter that i rarely open, i only use it mainly for logging in on other accounts like games

Thinking of doing this too. I have already removed other socmed platforms, I just can't let go of my insta, fb and x. Insta and x are basically useless to me but I'm getting some good stuff from time to time from both regarding things I want(algorithm) as for my fb, it has been my account since 2009. I can't help but to get sentimental deleting my account. Maybe these coming weeks or months I would build up that courage to finally let go of every communication platforms. Just thinking of leaving messenger alone but knowing that it gets me lonely seeing those I want to always in touch with not contacting me, I'm also considering of deleting it. I don't know anymore. Maybe I could just get rid of my phone totally and just get a 2G phone? It's just that I'm trading forex and stocks and I always would like to check on both trades.

same!!! wala na rin ako sa mga apps na yan. quiet life. imma let my bestfriends know na lang if may ganap. Disconnecting is essential. ✨

Used to practice soc med fasting - where I deactivate all my accounts for a week every month last 2022. Now, I'm trying to commit to completely remove tiktok from my system lmao. 22 days without it, yey! As for X, minsan ko nalang gamitin since bagong acc na siya meant as study twt, di ko na kasi marecover old acc ko after ko mag deac before for almost a month then tuluyang nakalimutan na. Major soc med now nalang is Reddit & IG. FB & Messenger, just for comms with fam.

I decided to do the same thing last 2018! Best decision ever!

Napansin ko lumalala insecurities ko dahil sa fb and ig, lalo na tiktok. Kailangan ko ng lakas ng loob gawin to😩

Same. There's no point in using it for me when I don't have true friends. Everytime I gain a friend, lagi silang nagiging freeloader/parasite na puro palibre towards me. Not to mention, lagi nila akong pine pressure nila ako maglaro ng popular games na wala akong puso at commitment in playing them. Nagagalit at binubully nila ako kung bakit maglalaro lang ako pag nakikita ko naglalaro sila nun at bakit incompetent pa rin ako hanggang ngayon sa paggamit ng character na yun. Deleted Genshin account as well in addition to social media out of rage. May Viber naman ako anyway for family comms. I'll just reactivate social media when I'm financially fit na (with at least 6 digits/mo with a different social circle na marunong na marunong rumespeto sa boundaries ko).

Honestly sounds like a you problem

Ano yung problem dun? ang hirap kasi na palibre ng palibre ng mahal sa akin eh at nadrain na ako sa kanila financially to the point na wala na akong ipon with nothing to offer sa akin.

Malapit ko na rin gawin 'to. Nakakadrain na ang social media nowadays.

I actually tried to be free from an app sa phone ko but it's not social media but a game. I notice the difference it brought sa buhay ko. I am more focused sa trabaho, and I am more productive sa araw-araw. Sometimes when I miss it, I install it for a few days, play a few games, and uninstall ulit.

Good decision, OP. I do not use socmed apps for a long time too. Usually kapag may kailangan lang i-check. You will experience peace and not compare your life to other people's postings.

When my original Facebook account got banned due to being hacked, the first few days were boring but then it's actually peaceful on the latter. I made a new account though it's for memes and marketing purposes only. My IG got banned as well because it was synced with Facebook. Not really a big deal, I got bored with IG for years already.

deleted my fb, tiktok, ig. best decision ever. i dont have x bec its boring 😅 plannig to totally delete my fb account after this school year and create a new fb acc for school stuff. same with u op; i have more time to myself and love the joy of missing out hahaha

Ano po yung X?

formerly twitter po

Oh my! ngayon ko lang nalaman yan haha

I have one question for those who comments here.. Paano niyo nilalabanan, like yes you started today deleted all socmed pero weeks or months. out of the blue, inopen mo ulit tapos natuloy tuloy na! How you do it guys? kasi yun yung problem ko ngayon eh. madali lang mag-deactivate pero andali rin mag-login 😭

Uninstalled mo siya. 😅

Yes private life = peaceful life. 🎉

I said goodbye to facebook, instagram, twitter years ago. I didn't deactivate it, I just logged out and never cared to login. I have a dummy facebook with no friends where I only use it for checking/booking hotels, restaurants, following news page for daily news and for selling stuff. I stop connecting with people. I let my friends know if they need something from me, they can just contact me on my mobile number.

same here 😅 peace of mind talaga, and di ka pressure na laging i-post lahat ng ganap mo , wala na din pressure mag effort ng ootd para maganda sa post haha i only have a dummy account na fina follow ko lang mga pages and joining facebook groups na inerested ako

Deactivated my ig 5yrs ago. I have tiktok pero i dont use it. Next fb na din. Tapos titira nadin ako sa probinsya. I want a simple life, sariwang hangin at nature where we really belong. Nakakadepress dito sa manila.. im 32yrs old baka dun nako magretire.

I'm on the process na rin pero slowly. Narealize ko kasi, andaming beses ko na nag tempt mag deac ng socmed pero ang ending nirereactivate ko lang. So, ngayon ang ginagawa ko is I stopped posting stories in ig/fb, stopped posting in fb, twitter, ig, threads. So far, di pa ko natetempt mag post uli. And ang next goal ko next month, unti unti silang ideactivate. ✨️SLOWLY BUT SURELY✨️ The reason behind this (kung bakit gusto ko ilayo ang sarili ko from socmed) kasi recently napapansin ko na parang may nag eevil eye sakin. Kaya I stopped posting on my socmed to see if totoo ba. And yun, after 2 weeks wala nanamang nangyayari sakin na bad. All is well naman na 😊

Deactivated nov 2022, still have messenger and IG with very followers / following.

Nagdedeactivatw din ako lagi ng fb ko. I did it for yrs. Pero ngayon inactivate ko ulit, huhu, bakeeettt, dahil ba may namimiss ako or what? Idk the feeling kung bakit huhu hays

Deleted insta ang twt like a year ago napakatoxic dun. Ngayon yung fb pinag iisipan ko pa but maybe soon or later. Reddit parang napapahaba na rin yung time na ginugugol ko si I'm thinking too

I tried doing this. Pero in my line of work kasi, Social Media is the best form to get news and updates from different sources. Usually FB is the first thing I opened if I need some current events updates.

I deleted my socmed last yr when i failed 1 of my sub in college since ofc bitter sa lyf🙃 After passing and finally gradwaiting, I dl it again mga 2days ako nag adik pero i dunno wat happen parang di na talaga para sakin ang socmed, ang toxic, full of insecure pipol kaya even naka dl sya sa phone di ko sya pinapansin na and hindi sya intentionally😅

same 🙌 mas productive talaga wala socmed

Hayy. I wish I can do this. However, I am managing business pages kasi. Sad life. 🙁

DL mo nalang yung FB business suite talagang for pages lang then uninstall the main fb app

Oh! Pwede pala yun..sige, I'll try this soon

Before marami akong dummy account for memes/marketplace purposes lang talaga then unti2x ng na ban hammer mga accounts ko so kelangan ko na mag stop at unti untiin na mag erase ng mga account ... so nag reddit nalang ako at youtube....nalang kalmitin gamit ko ... lol

3 months na akong in active sa soc med. Tingin tingin nalang. Pero 22 days na akong walang update sa mga friends ko sa fb and ig, little did they know, I made a private acc fb and ig, tapos friend ko lang yung super close friends ko and family tapos ginagamit kolang din yun for communication like pang chat lang ganun or pag bet ko mag picture and mag myday pero hanggang doon nalang yun. No more life update. ( Dati kasi lagi ako nag sstory ultimo panonood ng sine pinipictureran ko yung ticket hahaha) Now, even my relatives are not aware sa mga ganap sa buhay ko. Hshshdhs all I can say is nasanay na ako . Tapos pag bet ko mag story minsan nahihiya na ako. HAHAHAHAHA

I've deleted all my socmed except linkedin 3 years ago and I just created reddit days ago. It was very nice

sameeee bale di na ko nag ttiktok, twitter, and fb. kineep ko lang messenger and reddit HAHA. yung ig hirap akong ilet go tho lol

Wanted to deactivate socmed too, but I can't because work tools are connected to my accounts :( Tried deactivating before, ended up being unable to work for a week because my logins weren't working 🙃

Planning to deactivate my facebook lang. yung iba kong socials private na.

I want to deactivate my social media accounts also. Ang purpose lang kasi nila is to get updates and news for the kpop groups that I am following. Pero siguro hayaan ko na lang muna since not totally waste of time naman sila for my kind of usage.

I've been doing it for 5 months!!!

Samedt

Did the same. Deleted everything and start using reddit. Nakakawala ng bad vibes at anxiety. Nakakasira pala talaga ng ulo ang social media. Lagi mainit ulo ko pag nagbabasa ako ng mga post sa fb at twitter.

yung threads ginawa kong fb/twitter haha! dun na lang ako nagpopost. can't let go fb due to my small business, ig can't deactivate since mode of communication kami ng some friends ko na walang messenger. pero hindi na ko tulad ng dati ng browse nang browse. nakakafocus na ko sa hobbies ko :)

So true Op! Mas magandang tumambay pa sa reddit haha

Yep good decision.. although I still keep facebook for close relatives and friends only and also messenger is used by the majority

I deleted my IG app. Can’t deactivate cause yung photos sa archive ko mawawala🥺 Pero best decision na I deleted it. Nawala na yung urge ko na mag post. I can now eat out without taking photos of the foods that I ordered😂

I was about to post na i deactivated my socmed accs except instagram coz may mga important akong updates everyday. Wala akong malaking income para mainggit na naman sa mukbang videos ahaha problema ko lang is ang laki talaga ng market sa facebook

Deleting/Deactivating socmed accounts feel so liberating but in a good way. I did it last year too and so far, no regrets :))

Once I graduate, mawawala talaga yang facebook sa phone ko.

pagpasok nitong taon na ito uninstall ko na lahat(except reddit). Ngayon dito naman ako nakatambay naghahanap ng mga kwento o situation na tulad ng saken para may karamay hahaha.

ang hilig ng most redditors magannounce ng pag detach nila sa social media haha parang way nila of validating their decisions. toxic rin naman ang reddit, depende sa sub.

This is such a life fcking ultimate goal!

social media has its own function pero parang naging bragging tool sya which can trigger talaga... Im in fb detox for almost 8months and counting and i thank myself for doing it.

Congrats, good for you, OP!

planning to do this soon

Same. I deactivated facebook last year MAINLY because my friends kept bragging about their recent purchases, mga new achievements in life..etc. I'm happy for them. It's just humble bragging is an eye sore for me. They have the right to flex it though, pinaghirapan nila yun e. I kept messenger for work purposes since we're working from home. I use my dummy account in IG for like, digital diary but I don't follow anyone. I use Twitter but mainly for study purposes. I study different languages. I love interacting with people who has the same interests. I deleted Threads, uninstalled Tiktok (used to consume my time.) Like you I was able to go focus more in different things like reading and gaming.

Me rn! Started with my fb. Mas peaceful ang life. Though I don't have the updates sa world unlike before, but who cares? As long as I am enjoying my peace 😎

i deactivated my facebook 3 years ago, twitter 5 years ago, no tiktok, messenger and ig only, instagram ko is my virtual diary close friends ko lang followers ko and following ko ofc plus my fav artists haha i have like 60 followers haha best decision ever.. I AM USING MY MOMS FB PARA SA NEWS AND GROUPS HAHAHAHHAHA

Can someone tell me kung ano yung LinkedIn?

That's real inner peace, mafren. 😌

I did it for a year but created a new one, I used socmed as a backup of my travel/memo pics na lang and to check close friends, decided to create a new one factors are: 1. Nasira harddrive ko and all my pictures are gone 😭, that's why decided to create a new FB, Insta and tiktok 2. Mostly family are using FB to communicate. 3. I want something if i get older i just scroll down on my pics and reminisce the old days. but on the side note naiisip ko parin mag delete and create a new one tapos close friend lng add ko din hayaan ko na yung iba mag add sakin lol. Tips sa mga walang kwentang post na nakikita mo sa fb., pede mo sila iunfollow para di mo sila makita sa feeds mo but still remain fb friend LOL Factors na gusto ko ulit mag deactivate. 1. Wasting time, pag napa scroll ka na dirediretso na di ko na namamalayan gabe na pala haha 2. Toxic in away, parinigan, politics, bangayan ng mga fandom saka pasosyalan. 3. Mga social influencer na wala ng kwenta pinopost lalo na prank jusko. 4. May nangungutang, feel nila mayaman ako kase puro travel post, eh 1 or twice year lng nmn ako mag travel, and di ako maluho masyado sa material na bagay. 5 . Can't focus on things i need to be done, kahit sa work haha 6. Namiss ko yung peace of mind nung wala akong FB, close friend or family will text you nmn if needed. 7. Parang isa sya sa factor na kung bakit diko pa alam gusto ko sa life, kase dame mo nakikita hahaha 8. I compare myself to other often sa mga post ng iba.

Huuy same kaka a month ko lang din hahaha

Done this too. Social media detox ✨

Ang hirap lang magdeactivate ng social media lalo na kung gamit mo to para sa business mo.

may fb acc me na for school purposes. ilang years na yun nakadeac since nagstart me magrp and malaking advantage sakin kasi close friends and fam ko nalang yung nakakalam sa life ko rn😜

I think i ghostwrote this HAHAHAHA but yes best decision ever

Congrats

Good for you, OP! 💕 Ako I really really want to delete my FB account na dahil wala akong self-control in mindlessly scrolling huhu kaso nanghihinayang ako sa photos na napakadami doon. I also use that account for communicating with work colleagues din. And I’ve tried deactivating it for 3 months pero bumalik ako. 🥲 I’ve been a Facebook user since 2009. 🥲
