A 14-step guide to taking a (fleeting) break from social media | Eleanor Limprecht
Briefly

I have decided to take a break from social media to focus on my personal well-being and development. This choice reflects my disillusionment with platforms like Meta, which seem to prioritize profit over genuine relationships and mental health. By stepping back, I aim to reclaim valuable time and reconnect with my real life. It's ironic how, despite disconnectedness, social media remains a constant distraction. Additionally, I'm reflecting on other platforms like LinkedIn, which feels more like a graveyard for connections than a place for engagement. In this time away, I want to find joy in real-life experiences and interactions.
"I am taking a break from social media to reconnect with myself in a world overrun by the toxic culture created by platforms like Meta, which prioritize profit over personal connection."
"As I step away from social media, it’s astonishing to reflect on how profoundly platforms like Meta exploit our time and attention, turning our lives into mere content for their algorithms."
