Much the same as I do now, quite happily.
I only use Facebook for events/night out planning, nothing else. The world would be a better place is Facebook was reduced to this alone haha.
Instagram I purposefully only follow people I know, and like, no one else (maybe 20 people)? No one famous or anything, makes it a pleasant experience for occasional photo sharing between genuine family/friends, no competing or drama or any of the negative shit.
You never mentioned twitter but I donβt really use it either, and certainly wouldnβt use it to talk or read tweets from random idiots on the internet.
Social media is fine if you use it carefully, and avoid the political nonsense, random arguing, and laughable idiots who spend all their time typing away angrily on it all. Life without all that stuff is bliss.
I quite often go weeks without using any of the above services. I do however, use Reddit daily, but only because (again, when used properly) full of humour, interesting stuff, and generally good people (thanks to the magical wonder that is downvoting, keeps the shite at bay).

I havent logged in into Facebook for ages. I dont have Instagram. But my work needs me on Whatsapp, so we would migrate to Telegram or some other messenger type of app.

I only have facebook for work purposes and message old colleagues and stuff
Dont own an instagram and furiously refuse what's app, that's another app to check during the day, too much for me. I like the good old SMS / imessage. It's simple and people cant track what finger you used to read the first letter of their message.

I cope very well without social media and if I do use it it's only for a few minutes anyway. Although, I do like Pinterest mainly because of all the lovely animal pins I find on there but I don't use it for anything else. As for Facebook, Instagram and Twitter well Instagram I rarely use at all and the other two I just use if I feel like it.

I haven't logged into my Facebook in years either. I got rid of my Instagram in maybe 2012. I'm pretty much okay with email and text messaging still too.
My parents are the same.

I'd cope very easily without either of them.
I was only forced to get a facebook account a year ago as my employer decided that was the best way to share alot of work information to staff. It's actually an awful way to share information - a forum with different subforums would be a lot more efficient. The work facebook site is filled with different people asking the same questions day after day because they can't simply navigate to a different subsection that already has that information.
Then you log in to get the latest work information and you're bombarded with endless staff members posting recipes or sporting results (neither of which have anything to do with our employment) that they assume everybody else must also be interested in.

A world without Facebook is a significant improvement.
Just a place for old people to become even more ignorant and morally repulsive.

I used to have it (as in Facebook) but never used it. Merely a place for keeping in contact with folk.
Social media has just never been a thing for me. I hate the idea of posting trivial things about myself, it's my own worst nightmare. But I'm lucky in the sense that this forum here was my first online 'community' of sorts and the fulfilment of this site has never been replicated on social media.
There's so much depth and thoughtfulness on this forum about a particular passion that social media could never ever replicate. You learn more about yourself and others through that passion, more so than some contrived posts on social media.

Life without instagram would do me good tbh.
Facebook? I wouldn't like to lose it tbh. First of all it's a really convenient way to save contacts, and absolutely great for tracking events because it shows which friends are interested or going to them and suggests them to you based on that. It also reminds you of the event a week before and again on the day of then event. I probably would've missed some gigs if it wasn't for facebook!!

I would never sign up to WhatsApp though and a few other social media platforms which I'm not on.
