Social Media. In the bin. Again.

I’ve decided to get rid of social media. Again.

X/Twitter is pure vitriol. Bluesky is seemingly heading that way.

The only account I really thought of keeping was LinkedIn, but Meta have messed me around with requesting driving licence/passport verification despite me having had an account up for a few months. So out it goes.

Other Meta-related accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) are going that way also. the only Meta app I’m staying with is WhatsApp, purely because family/friends/work colleagues are using it.

I’d prefer to use Signal…. maybe I’ll convince them all one day.

I’ve also removed Medium and Goodreads – no beef against either, I’m just not using the accounts enough to justify use of my (frankly precious) time.

The one site that’s staying? That’ll be YouTube. I’ve got a nicely curated range of channels (on subject relevant to this blog!) that I subscribe to, so that’ll do me. I might even have a go at making my own YouTube videos in the future.

My current channels I’m subscribed to are : Bullet Journal, Cal Newport, Carl Pullein, Gardening with Alan Titchmarsh, GTD focus, JashiiCorrin, Learn Horticulture, Next Action Associates, Rachelle in theory, Rewilding Jude, The Grey Gardener.
