Deleted Instagram from my Phone

A week ago, I deleted Instagram from my phone to protect my mental health. The constant barrage of distressing US political news and world events paired with addictive scrolling driven by algorithms were the main factors. While I don’t plan to delete my account, I do plan to spend a lot less time on Instagram. I will check in periodically using my laptop to see what’s new in the journal and scrapbook communities.
