Its so addictive. Ive logged out of Instagram and I'm going to see how long that lasts. I love mumsnet but I'm wasting too much time on it. Anyone else doing a cut ??

I think with instagram you can create and follow what you want. I don’t follow ‘influencers’ but select friends, health, fitness, nutrition, music, arty pages, travel etc and i use it to create a photo memory board for myself.

I still have facebook for some groups i am in but the feed in that is ridiculous you just see adverts or posts from people and groups you don’t even follow.

Came off Facebook, insta and even WhatsApp a few years ago. Best thing I did.

I recently rejoined insta because if you're careful, you can get a decent enough ‘experience’ of it (I mainly follow pages relating to my hobby)
Id love to try and come off MN though. It has been even worse than usual on here lately and while it never used to bother me, it’s starting to really bring me down!

Yes! I have a fake name facebook so i can follow local info pages and look up businesses but have no perdonal friends. Insta I look at but don't post, I mostly follow wildlife, art and travel so its quite soothing. I deleted Tattle as that was soooo addictive, although I still get pangs of regret 😆. I use mumnet for talk threads such as elderly parents which Im struggling with at the moment and of course dip into aibu for entertainment which seems to satisfy the itch!
