ever since becomeing aware that facebook patented the tech to keep your account posting even after you died i've kind of more actively begun just dropping off mass-used social platforms. It all seems to be headed down the same abyss
I hardly ever used facebook anymore as of the last few years, but this was the last straw for me. I began emptying my account of all posts, removing all friends on there, leaving only people who i might need to contact through facebook at some point (eg: family) and leaving my profile entirely blank.
I know that in a way it's somewhat futile, but I just feel gross using any of those kinds of platforms the last few times i even bothered to use them...
At least if i'm unable destroy my account before i die, it'll be entirely blank and empty. Assuming they don't just forcibly desecrate it with AI and slop, no sense in puppeting a dead person's account that's entirely empty of any posts or photos...

I try to at least once everyday spend one hour doing nothing (no music, no videos, no texting, no talking) and it does help me be not as exhausted from it all
