But I’m going to challenge myself to connect with them in different ways. I genuinely wonder how those people are doing. Of course, the sheer fact that I’m announcing that I’m taking a break shows that Instagram still feels important to me, somewhere.Įven though Instagram is it not at all central to my marketing strategy, I am not immune to the expectation that to run an online business is to be on social media.Īnd: there are a lot of people on Instagram that I feel connected to. They are generally people who have some experience working, often in a traditional 9-to-5, and are now running their own business in a way that breaks with traditional ideas of productivity and busyness. My clients are not teenagers or students, and not people in their early twenties either. This is the perfect time to increase or improve your mental and physical health.
I DECIDED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM SOCIAL MEDIA FREE
You will have additional free time during your social media break. A break is almost impossible if you hear chimes and whistles from postings. I feel strengthened in this by the release of the Facebook papers, which don’t only affirm how morally problematic all of this is, but also that what Facebook and Instagram are looking for are younger people. Take a few minutes before you officially start the break and change your social media notification settings. I’ve been deprioritizing spending time and energy on Instagram for various reasons, from the lack of control that I have over who sees my posts, to the addictive nature of the platform and the effect that it has on many users. As I’ve written about in other blog posts, social media (Instagram in my case) has a very clear place in my business. Our civility rules apply at all times.Taking a break from social media is a logical step for me at this time. Feel free to use the Politics Megathread pinned to the front page. It's very unlikely your political post is an unpopular opinion.

Our users have voted for no political posts in this sub, and this rule will not be changed until the majority votes otherwise. These posts are usually, but not exclusively, those that target a particular sex, race, sexual orientation, etc, when the user in question is hostile, vulgar or aggressive towards said group. Some opinions are so inappropriate/offensive that they'll be removed as hate posts.

No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or general bigotry. This applies for both your behaviour on the sub, and the opinions which you post.
I DECIDED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM SOCIAL MEDIA MOD
We ask that if a post fails to post do not just spam repost it message mod mail. If you have a meta opinion, put it in the megathread. No, this isn't censoring criticism, they're just overposted. POSTS DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS SUBREDDIT ARE NOT ALLOWED. You can find a list of the topics and their respective megathreads in a post on the top of the sub. Posts relating to highly popular topics aren't allowed outside of the relevant megathreads. Opinions that are constantly posted here are not allowed. Rule 3: Do not post opinions that are heavily posted/have been on the front page recently. Please try and elaborate on your opinion and justify your position.Īny opinion that is not well thought out, incoherent, internally contradictory or otherwise nonsensical is subject to removal. If your post is just one sentence it will be removed. We get it, you all think this sub is garbage and is just for popular opinions, and you want to be funny and post "going to be downvoted to oblivion here, but I think racism is bad." We enjoy the memes, but please keep them off the sub.

Rule 2: Do not post low effort/satirical/troll posts. Be specific as to where you believe your opinion is unpopular. Please have a clear, self contained opinion as your post title, and use the text field to elaborate and expand on why you think/feel this way. A subjective statement about your position on some topic. Rule 1: Your post must be an unpopular opinion. If you see a post that breaks one or more of these rules, please report it so the moderators can take action.Porn, Fat/Skinny/Body Weight, Pedophilia or Related topics, Posts about Sexual Assault, Nazi and related content, Banned Topics.Downvote: Opinions that you Agree with.Upvote: Opinions that you Disagree with.DARK MODE NORMAL THEME How This Place Works
