Couldn't agree more re "the feed". I ditched social media, then found myself back there every now and again to check in on friends - very hard not to get sucked back into "the feed" each time.

Eventually, I signed off of FB & IG, and built a minimalist social network with no feeds, designed to be checked once a week (on Sunday): https://www.sundayy.app/

Feel free to give it a go :)
