I try not to be chronically online. I've never used Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, or BeReal. I briefly used TikTok but deleted it when I felt my brain melting.
Currently, I have a fake Facebook account I use to access marketplace (it's the best way to get expensive baby stuff for cheap). On mobile I use Lemmy, on my desktop I pop into reddit. I also love my gossip discord for mindless entertainment.
Yeah it sucks Facebook marketplace has become the dominant way to sell things online. I used to use Craigslist all the time but the only thing there anymore are scams. I deleted my Facebook in 2017 but ended up coming back with a fake account for marketplace but I feel gross about it.
Yeah it feels super icky. Especially since my fake Facebook keeps recommending friends I know in real life. And not just local people, but people all the way across the state. How does it know that????
