I also switched to Nothing(tm). Being slightly out of the loop with friends and current events is jarring at first, but also markedly less stressful. Over time, the jarring part went away. I have to make more of an effort to keep up with friends, but this means I have been having actual conversations with people and making plans to do stuff again, whereas before I felt I had nothing to talk about and already knew what everyone was up to because I was monitoring them.

I love being unplugged from friends like that. Then when I see them I have something to talk about and catch up on.
