> Fewer adults in the UK are posting, commenting on, or sharing material on social media – while AI use is up and the majority of people worry about their screentime – according to Ofcom.
>
> Across the UK, 49% of respondents said they actively post on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and X, down from 61% the previous year, according to the regulator’s latest survey of online habits and usage.
>
> Ofcom said this, and its finding some people were choosing to post less permanent content, indicated a rise in „passive“ social media use.
I removed myself from most socials years ago bar Instagram, Reddit and Linkedin (god I hate the place).
Instagram is just a cesspit now. It’s comment section is like when YouTube was the famous cesspit. So many bots, trolls and rage baiting. I can understand, or at least I hope, why people are finally getting tired of it

Soon it will just be AI bots arguing with themselves
It’s hardly surprising. It’s mostly fascists, influencers, manosphere cretins and AI bots these days.
I deactivated my fb account over a year ago, I still use messenger but I can’t be bothered with any social media now apart from Reddit. I feel overwhelmed by adverts and rubbish on there. Much better for your mental health to not expose yourself to it. I don’t have insta, X or TikTok.
I had LinkedIn but deleted that as it’s just a big bragfest…look at me, look at what job I’ve got and how successful I am etc etc.
Used to be you’d see your friends/follows posts and they’d see yours. Now it’s just like a stream of pure shite. And sometimes stuff you want mixed in. For everyone. If course it’s not appealing
OFCOM are wrong. It was never about screentime, it was more about the content taking a nose dive and the adverts increasing 10 fold.
My screentime is the same, i just choose it more wisely.
Once you’re around 30 everyone goes pretty much silent. Only really cringe people post regularly which makes me wonder why they still crave attention so much.
It’s almost like 5 years of algorithmic censorship, shadowbanning, „non crime hate incidents“ and lawfare was designed to have the effect of making the proles keep their mouths shut while they are playing on their digital toys isn’t it.
Real people are down, influencers and oversharers (who fancy themselves a SM Job) are the only ones left with the Bots and Adverts, Political Posts and News posts.
Well with companies asking to look through your socials and kier Starmer putting people in prison for FB post its abit obvious!
Nope more people are using VPN’s so you can’t see what their doing lol.
I remember Facebook being a giant WhatsApp group with friends posting and chatting all the time, now its just a content mill spewing out the same repeated shit, endless ads and click/rage bait. Why would anyone keep going back when the experience is so poor?
Outside of Reddit and YouTube, I’ve never bothered with the rest.
Hearing everyone talk about the other forms of social media makes me feel like I haven’t missed out on much.
>For social media expert Matt Navarra, it suggests people may be seeking „digital self-preservation“ by turning to smaller, private spaces like group chats and DMs.
Discord has certainly gained popularity in the last few years to the point of it becoming mainstream.
If you’re not an influencer it feels weird to post just for your 2 friends to like the photo lol
Is this because we have all moved to Albania suspiciously?
Best thing that could happen is if influencers had to get a proper job
Well this is because you are subject to going to jail just for a tweet. No rocket science FFS.
I’ve not posted on Facebook since Xmas 2020. I’ll occasionally post on Twitter, but I’m lucky to get 1 like now. Social media is just an AI hellscape now.
