Has anyone successfully quit from Social Media? Facebook,insta,tik tok and snapchat?

I managed to give it up for a long time but have gone back to instagram, I keep getting FOMO whenever I'm off it.

I know I could use it positively for buisness in the future but i always end up spending hours browsing random garbage on it.

Has anyone successfully quit Social media for good? If so how did you do it and do you notice your mental health has improved?

My opinion is that checking up on friends activity is positive (If I don't I also get fomo). Using it to scroll through random posts is negative and should be avoided.
I don't use Tik tok, as none of my friends post anything there, only instagram and facebook. I also like to see the post of other people I follow that aren't necessarily my friends, but they post quality content, like something relating to health and fitness or other hobbies.

I’ve never had social media and it’s a world of stressors I will never know. If I had it... and wanted to give it up I would think the best way might be to burn the bridges and boats. Just delete it all.... no going back.

I've given up Facebook for better or worse, still use Instagram but it gets an hour of my time every couple days, when I was building a following it was content every day
