Seems like if people would stay off social media, they wouldn't be affected by this propaganda.
Totally get your sentiment, but see it a bit differently.
Those who are susceptible to propaganda of any type will eventually become targets/purveyors. When I was 13, a classmate in our Jr. Hi School was caught with a trove of Klan tracts and pamphlets in his locker. That was in 1970. No internet. No 'instantaneous social media.' Same poison- just delivered slower and more organically, back then.
It amazes me what people read on social media and take for truth. Even people I once thought where intelligent enough to see through the BS.
I know, right?
A friend I've had for more than 40 years followed a rabbit hole a few years back. He's now a stranger who I don't recognize. This was something I never saw coming.
I have distanced myself from some people because they got sucked into the crap they read, and I personally have deleted all my social media accounts. I only know of this stuff from this forum.
I haven't gone quite so far. I still have an active fb account.
The best thing ever did: I set my feed for 'friends only' from Day One. As a result, I get all the updates from friends/fam that I can stand, without the rest of The World's toxicity.
I totally understand your motivation to delete all social media. I've taken a different tack: I've chosen to stay engaged, adapt to/understand the hidden algorithms that react to/manipulate our browsing habits, and have taken steps to actively control my digital output.
I don't want to be totally cut off from this aspect of modern daily life. I want to find a healthy way to deal with it.
I'll let you know if I ever find a solution.
Stay tuned. I haven't given up yet-
