And as a result the echo chamber will be even louder for everyone believing the bullshit. Bill Gates should hurry up and activate the brain chips.

I basically did back in like 2014. My accounts still existed, so I finally closed out the big 3 in October. I hadn't used them in years, but they were still there

I'm the same. I only follow one subreddit, and I barely post and interact here. I've completely removed any and all news sources too. There's nothing i can do about any of the stories the news throws up. More people would get healthier is they got offline.
