I get why you have done it, but don't forget the option of stopping using something like instagram or facebook and just not replacing them.
I think replacing messaging services with signal is the exception here, as everyone needs a method of contacting others.Its not always best for a person to just do the same thing on another equivalent service though.
Sometimes the best alternative is to just stop doing the thing that is wasting all your time and attention; on any platform.
Like I said, I get why offering an alternative is necessary, just wish we could remind people that just not doing the thing at all was always an option... And that's an option that often doesn't require other people to change so much.
