Deactivated my Whatsapp status so I don't even have access to post or see any status at all. I'm not interested in knowing whatever is happening in anybody's life.

Changed my Facebook to data mode. I don't see any pictures of anybody and anything, just captions. Hehehe.

Uninstalled Instagram.

Enter YouTube Once in a while to see skits from TheWinlos, latest movies from MZFP, etc.

Social media is what it is; fake life and ingredients on display here and there. I am very frugal, minimalist and rather anti-social. My life is JustSimpleLikeThat.com 😜



How do you cope without whatapp? For me, it is world no 1 most patronized app...

I don’t post my personal life-pics, achievements , moods- on social media
On whatapp I post only intellectual memes.
I don’t use Facebook , i use Twitter ,nairaland and YouTube more, I don’t like nor comment on women pics or posts except extremely intelligent ones( post only ).
I mute over 190 people on WhatsApp, only likeminded people see my posts.
I don’t view 90% of my contacts status.
I don’t argue politics, religion and tribe online cos chances are that you’ll make enemies for yourself( some people especially on nairaland and Twitter sabi take politics and tribe serious ehn)..
I don’t wish women happy birthday online ( you know why )
I stopped watching comedy these days cos it’s all about simping and women sexual harassment ( except layi’s).

I watch videos that have to do with masculine mindsets.
.

Finally I stopped taking internet serious the day I saw one guy’s posts on nairaland i actually know him offline I lodged at the hotel he’s working and we used to be friends back then at community grammar, we talked plenty that day about life and all that, saw him surfing nairaland that day and I could recognise his moniker, this is someone battling real life poverty and struggling with 25k salary ( he works in hotel ).,
He was giving financial advice to someone and broke shaming one guy that owns his own house and uses his own car for Uber o , telling the person that he earns nothing less down 2m in two weeks and can feed the person’s family. Ha ,


Bro I laugh sotey water comot for my face that day .
grin grin grin grin grin
Every one for social media na millionaire investor lol.

Around 2018 when I fell for a scam on telegram, I immediately put an end to using social media; a lot of fake and cunny people reside there.

Going to 6yrs now, I haven't uploaded any photo as my Dp on whatapp, same as dropping/writing something on my status. I most times don't view people's status because it's of no need.

I have facebook account but no single friend on the account, I only use it to read Lasisi Olagunju mondaylines, every Monday, been doing that for almost a decade now.

I so hate it when a girl or lady spends 50% (or more) of her free time watching reels on Facebook, videos on TikTok, posts on Instagram and scanning every SM platform searching for what to lift & drop on her WhatsApp status.

Females like that irks me when they're around me, and funny enough such females are virtually the only kinds that abound all around us these days angry

Me:

1. I've stopped posting happenings on WhatsApp status. It sells out too much about your life. These days, I prefer to stay mysterious. You don't need to know anything about me.

2. I've forced myself to stop watching all these comedy reels on Facebook. It's a waste of data. These days, I spend my data learning Videography and Advanced Sound Design on YouTube.

3. I've placed on mute the statues of people on my WhatsApp who think life is a competition. Posting every new clothes/shoes they buy.

What's yours?


1.I DONT EVEN POST ON MY WHATSAPP STATUS MAYBE ONCE IN 2 OR 3 MONTH

2.I DONT EVEN HAVE A FACEBOOK
ACCOUNT

3.PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW WHEN AM ONLINE ON WHATSAPP, MOST PEOPLE EVEN ASK ME WHERE I HAVE BEEN THAT HAVE BEEN OF WHATSAPP LOL ME WEY DEY ONLINE

4.I DONT HAVE A DISPLAY PICTURE ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA HANDLE I LIKE TO STAY ANONYMOUS.

MODIFIED.
To deactivate Whatsapp Status;
Go to 'permissions' in your phone Whatsapp settings (app info).
Disallow or deny 'contacts'.
You will no longer see status updates from any contact.

The side effect here is you will no longer be able to view your Whatsapp contacts except the ones in your chats. But that's fine for me. I basically only chat (when necessary) on Whatsapp.

I have a whole life outside Social media. So I minimalise my social media engagements as much as possible. Plus it saves me a lot of data for more important things. So it's a win-win situation. Hehehe.

Know what works for you and stick with it. ✌️

Interesting, I just learnt sth new from your comment. Definitely deactivating WhatsApp status.

I deleted Instagram on my phone. The only condition I'll do Instagram is if I have a business to sell.

My fb account has been dormant for about 2 years now. First, I stopped posting anything about me, I only post about Arsenal but I stopped altogether for about 2 years now. However I opened another fb account where I have just 2 friends. That one is for the purpose of watching my church services live if I'm not able to make church.

I don't do Twitter. I deleted that one siiiiiiince!

On Whatsapp, I don't use my pictures as dp. I use work-related pictures. I don't post statuses. Ki lo n dun nu Jero mi?

I'm most active on Nairaland. I think it's because it's faceless. And even here, I'm barely known, it's safe that way.

I use my device to enhance my business. You will see a lot of stuff on my job on my laptop and phone. I read a lot of work-related stuff online. I do some online courses too.
