Social media is terrible, 100% agree. I ditched Facebork and Insta many years 
ago, now, and I'm much better for it. If friends/family wanna speak with me or 
I with them, I use IM with Matrix or Signal.

Yeah I've seen that option, I really don't need to use it though as I use my 
phone so little it's almost not worth having it lol. I do use Signal and Matrix 







































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































on it, so that is how I have comms with friends/family, and occasionally use 
Twitter to post some silly meme or something I'm working on etc, having a flick 







































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































up the feed while I'm there, but that's about it.

I do like to watch YT and have a bunch of channels I sub to, I use YT as my 
"TV" though, so I will watch that on my TV mostly, I don't watch it on the 
phone or computer unless I specifically need to.
