How would things change if you stopped getting on Twitter & Instagram.

not as much as you think :yeshrug:. I haven't gone on IG, Twitter, or FB since September and I don't miss anything. The Coli is actually pretty cutting edge as far as timely relevant news goes, and you'd be surprised how the whole "speed to reporting" really makes a lot of websites cover things they may not normally cover.


All the rushing for hot takes doesn’t help. People are just trying to be the first to report or tweet stuff so it’s usually not all solid

Break this down for me. (I agree)

While your car just broke down and your girl left you, you hop on IG and see an old classmate scuba diving in Cuba with dimes and showing his 5 figure paycheck cuz he blessed and highly favored.

:mjlol:

It's simple. IG is nothing but people showing the highlights of their life. The best things that happen to them (generally speaking). That shyt ain't natural. It ain't good for the mind.

I could just be in my twitter mentions... not be on IG, just get my news from here and be good.

The coli gets all it's information from IG and Twitter. Coming here would just be getting it 3rd hand.

I’m a firm believer in whatever you need to know will come to you lol

Edit: I feel you tho

That's the thing with social media, it's like 98% bullshyt information and 2% vital information. I could go my whole life without the false vanity and false sense of celebrity that social media creates but there are things on social media that will help you become a better person.

I’m not even gonna scroll IG or Twitter for 30 days and see what notice.

I’ll just post my pics and go and stay in my twitter mentions.

I’m really interested in what changes

Well let's see...

I got rid of FB - 5 yrs ago
I got rid of Snapchat - like 3 weeks before the new year

I'm almost at the point the point where I'm ready to get rid of IG. The only reason I don't is because I have some family/friends on there I actually do like. Twitter I like to keep around for like news related stuff and points and breaking news. Until I can find another social media app on that same level I'll keep twitter. Also, I don't use either app very much anyways.

I stopped using Facebook almost 7 years ago.

Never was an active Twitter user.

Never used Snapchat.

Probably logged into Instagram once over the last two months.

I tend to keep a low profile. I make good money. I don't want these shark ass nikkas to know how I'm eating.

I have 50k followers on twitter so I’m good with just being in my mentions. I rarely ever peep the timeline
