Local Man Announces He's 'Taking a Break from Social Media'

His first post read, “I’m leaving Facebook forever.” His second post read, “For real this time.”
He went live to announce he wouldn’t be going live anymore.
Commenters immediately asked, “Does this mean we can’t see your lunch photos anymore?”
His followers prepared a candlelight vigil in case he actually followed through.
Within minutes, he was back online “just to check something real quick.”
Experts say announcing a break from social media is the adult version of running away from home.
His last post before leaving? A 45-slide Instagram story explaining why he’s leaving.
He rejoined within 24 hours, claiming “It was for work.”
When asked why he was quitting, he replied, “I need to focus on myself… and my 50 daily selfies.”
He created a Twitter thread on the benefits of unplugging, which trended for three days.
His biggest fear? That nobody noticed he was gone.
Friends wondered if they should check on him, then remembered they don’t actually know his address.
His final tweet was just: “K, bye!” His next tweet? “Never mind.”
His mother called to ask if this meant no more cat videos.
He later claimed his return was “research on social media addiction.”
