Stopped using Instagram

Been a week since I deactivated my Instagram account to get rid of the continuous doom scrolling addiction. My focus on work has improved slightly. I have been having much more positive vibes throughout the day. Anyone else felt the same?

Stopped and installed instadm which is a mod so I can just get messages.

But now I've switched to YouTube shorts.

I use YouTube but mostly follow some knowledge worthy channels so it's not non sense content.
Can you use instaDM if account is deactivated?

Stopped using since 5 years and stopped feeling jealousy, laziness, fatigue, doom scrolling and urge to follow influencers 🙌🏻

Deleted since July for mental peace. Spoiler alert: probably the best decision I made for myself in the last 4-5 years!

I left it 2 years ago. Made my account private. I still have the app on my phone, which I open once/twice in a month( in case any news articles require me to open Insta). I leave the app immediately once I get the required info. No scrolling and no searching! The best decision I ever took.

Instagram algorithm sucks actually, when you subscribe/follow to the content, it should show that content only but due to instagram shitty algo, it shows trending content only. This is not with youtube shorts.

Whenever someone wants to make a “change” to their lives, this is the first piece of advice I will give anybody.

Instagram is that hot girl/guy in school whom everybody would go gaga for but is actually a dumbass when you get to know them

Same here. I didn’t use Instagram for 4 years during my college time, and to be honest, it was the best phase.

Exactly the reason I deactivated Instagram. It's been a year now. Don't even feel the need to ever go back.

How to get rid of that? Setting timer or digital wellbeing is not working for me 😃
