Why everyone who wants to leave social media is so much similarly frustrated?

Social Media

I personally left social media like a decade ago.

These days I am experimenting with using social media and understanding the algorithms and get deeper insights for a personal project i am working on.

Whenever i go to this digital minimalism sub reddit or nosurf folks are just complaining similarly like

● i am not able to leave X Y Z social media app or website

●I want to use social media but dont want to get consumed by it.

●I would feel fomo if i leave social media so i am asking if anyone did leave and how it felt.

I mean problem is mostly lack of control over the restrictions a human can apply to their device.

Why are people not able to solve that?

On a side note

4 out of 10 posts here are bots or fake accounts doing karma farming and people are replying to them like they are helping them with a real problem.

Atleast do yourself a favour to first check that person's Age on this website.

Who without any apparatus gets 10k karma in 4 days.
