My recommendation is that everyone should simply delete their social media accounts. If it turns out to be too much, they usually have like 1 - 2 months (wtf even is up with that) period, where the account gets restored if you log back in.

There is no need (and to be honest, no one even cares) to share whatever you are sharing in whatever platform you are in

I promise it you will feel a lot better

This, and Linkedin, are the only social media I have left. It’s better, but I never was big on them so I’m not missing much anyway.
