Quit social media in 2014 but I did keep it because I didn't grow up in a single place so I have friends throughout the world and it's the best way to keep in touch with family/friends even though I rarely ever check it. Facebook to me has become somewhere I go on the last week of the year talk to a few old friends and exes wish my "friends" merry christmas and do a little catching up before forgetting about it for the next year.
Not checking it everyday has really improved my mental health. All it does is makes you feel like you're missing out, be it from a party or a trip and the constant need to update it also makes you experience less of those things.
Man you're pedantic and probably someone who lives 2 miles from where you grew up. I have a brother who just had a new born living in a different continent. So I should write 2-4 week letters to him because some schizo online demands I never use social media? Or do I keep my social media profile I made 15 years ago which i hardly ever use to see pictures he has posted of my first nephew?
Social media is a great tool when it's used for what it was meant to be. It's a shitty tool when you base your opinion and get your news off of it. Just like a gun the danger is not the gun but the person wielding it.
When I meet a girl from france travelling I should ask for her address her phone number and email or just add her on whichever social media she uses?
You don’t understand what social media actually is, which is fine, it is a complex topic. If you’d like to know what social media actually is, I can lay it all out for you here but will take me some time.
To be concise, removing social media from your relationships with your loved ones is one of the absolute healthiest things you can do for said relationships.
Longer answer if you want it just ask please. I’ll take the time if you care to read it.
Talking cryptically and assuming what my view is doesn't make you right. As I plainly said I casually use social media to talk to friends and family around holiday and look at their pics. I have ublock so I get no targeted ads. I've become a social media tourist and quite plainly said why I won't delete mine.
Now you can have your obscure secret reason of why it's so bad to have social media. I know why I quit using it (other than how I've explained) and it's because humanity is fucking retarded and the narcissism and arrogance it breeds is too glaring to ignore nevermind the cult of agreeableness it creates.

“It is how I keep in touch” is an awful excuse.
Call, write, visit. Getting in touch is trivially easy.
