Almost half of 18–24 year olds wish social media never existed, yet the average 18–24 year old spends 3–6 hours a day on social media. This paradox contains a bitter truth: many people who recognize social media as a major problem in their life keep using it.

Initiative means taking the logical next step and having the courage to be one of the first to do so.

We strongly believe in the benefits of deleting social media, but it should be an individual decision. Compassion means meeting people where they are and engaging without judgement or a holier-than-thou attitude.

We all came to this decision at different times, through different paths. There is no room for self-righteousness here — only understanding.

It is easy to delete Instagram one day and redownload it again tomorrow. We don't believe in "detoxes" or "resets" — we're in it for the long haul.

Commitment means holding ourselves and each other accountable. It means building a life where you don't need to go back.
