Scroll Free September - unplugging from social media

Good point Miss A - maybe 'instant messaging' which apparently will still be allowed ?

Yes, but how will they let the world know how virtuous they're being?

Great idea if it takes off - the really heavy users are mostly sheeplike so it probably will ?

I’m certainly not going to do it. It’s how I keep in touch with friends, family and numerous other things. It isn’t a vice.

I go 'cold turkey' every so often.I scroll & post more in school holidays as I have more free time..so Sept is good for me!

I have a mild addiction
Always check GN and FB first thing in the morning, after a trip to the bathroom (don't do Twitter etc.) and maybe 4-6 times in the day. FB is great for finding out what's going on in my area. I have the local history page and local traffuc and travel. I post very little but do comment on threads.
I don't understand the people who feel the need to walk along scrolling through their phones. Look up, there's a whole world out there !

I won't be abstaining but I know a few people who would benifit from doing so.

No thanks. I love Facebook and Instagram - I get a lot from them . Family chat and sharing of photographs, comments from old friends that I went to school with , stories from special interest groups , it's all fun and keeps the contact going. I've no intention of "disengaging" at all. Everything in moderation - no doubt some people are badly affected by social media but not me.
