I dropped Fb in 2013 I think? Re-activated in 2016, just to reconnect with some people, otherwise I minimally engage with it. I pretty much only engage with this forum and Reddit. And InstaG, but mostly for Lead's dog Butters. I guess YT counts as well, but for some reason it thinks I love Norm MacDonald, so somehow I've successfully masked myself from its AI.
The weirdest thing is IM becoming the norm just as I drop it in favour of more face-to-face engagement.
