Are you sick of…

…spending hours swiping on social media and seeing the same content over and over again?
…content that ruins your mood or keeps you awake at night?
…the constant and targeted advertising flood on social media?
…meaningless trends that everyone feels compelled to copy just to generate reach?
… people being celebrated solely based on their appearance, rather than their abilities?
…countless discussions about seemingly unimportant topics?
…fake people, false content, and empty promises made on social media?
…notifications distracting you from important things?
…people using social media to promote their pornographic content on other platforms?"
…of highly sexualizing content?
…bullying, defamation, and the portrayal of certain individuals on social media?
…hate speech, manipulation, and propaganda on social media?
… mercenary individuals promoting the latest garbage just to make money?
…people using social media solely for self-promotion and flaunting their oversized lifestyles?
…algorithms that constantly keep you in a loop, manipulating you to stay online for as long as possible and watch videos?
…the countless hours you spend online when you could be doing much more meaningful things?

Social Media?

We feel the same!

You need a break!

Take it!

Disconnect for a few days and stay offline.
Give it a try; there’s nothing to lose!

Take some time for yourself, your family, or your hobbies. Explore nature, discover
your surroundings, engage with people in real life.

It’s like an experiment with your inner self.

See what happens or changes when you go offline for a few days.
Send us a message on Instagram or tag us so we can find out too.

We’re curious, and we hope you are too.

Oh, before we forget: We love social media and the opportunities
it brings. We’re not sick of social media in general – we’re sick of negative side
effects, the nature of certain content, and the overdose of social media content that
many consume.
We are advocating for a healthier approach to social media and aim
to involve providers in this effort.
To take a break, simply choose one of the images
below and share it on your social media app.
p.s.: Before you are taking your break: Feel free to check our change.org campaigns
below and leave a signature. Thank you!
PPS.: Please try not to use apps to block your social media apps

– harness the power of your mindset.


In that spirit:
Happy break!

Take a break!
