No more Instagram or Twitter

In the last week I have deleted both my Twitter and Instagram accounts. As I haven’t had a Facebook account for years, this means the only social media network you can follow me on is LinkedIn.

My reasons for withdrawing from social media are a little hard for me to define, but essentially come down to me not enjoying them.

Yes, I found out about a few things (gigs, jobs, etc.) that I might not have spotted otherwise, but I’d rather not have to wade through the rubbish to try and find the cold. Also, I tend to find it hard not to get sucked in and waste time scrolling and scrolling.

This is just my personal decision, and I don’t want this to read as an implied value judgement on your social media use, dear reader. If you’re enjoying Twitter and Instagram, then crack on and enjoy them. However, you won’t be able to engage with me there.

It also means my handles (jonathansbean) are probably coming available soon. So if you share a name with me, keep an eye out for those!
