What the feed does to you

A day on the feed

  1. 07:02: Before your eyes are fully open. The first thing you see today isn’t the sky. It’s 43 notifications.
  2. 12:41: Lunch, with a screen. You’re out with friends, but half the table is somewhere else. So are you.
  3. 18:20: Everyone’s life looks better. Perfect trips, perfect bodies, perfect evenings. Yours suddenly feels small.
  4. 23:47: Just one more video. The feed never ends, so neither does your night. Autoplay makes sure of it.
  5. 01:36: Tired. Wired. Alone. Hundreds of posts later you remember none of them, and you haven’t really talked to anyone.

Look around you.

Everything worth seeing was never on the screen.

Not another feed. Not another group chat. A community that connects.

Somewhere along the way, comparison and negativity started replacing genuine connection. We’re bringing it back: meaningful relationships, new interests and ideas, online and in real life.

Less scrolling. More “let’s meet up.”

Exchange ideas with like-minded people, discover new interests and keep the conversation going offline.

Meaningful connections. Real-world gatherings. Idea exchanges. New interests. Deep conversations. Intentional living. Phone-free evenings. New friends.
When like-minded people meet, big things happen.

A community built with you.

Why this exists, in five moves.

01

Bring like-minded people together.

There is no need to be nice to everyone. Find the people who are on your wavelength.

02

Build meaningful relationships.

Swap likes and followers for connections that actually go somewhere.

03

Discover new interests.

Get inspired by people who see the world a little differently than you.

04

Exchange ideas.

Share what you’re thinking, building and learning, and get honest input back.

05

Turn digital into real life.

Move from a thread online to a coffee, a walk and a group that sticks.

Hey Leaving Socials 👋

I just went through every single post in here – the poems, that magic object mini-game, the “nobody missed you” reality check, all the raw stories, interviews, and those brave little intros from everyone.

The questions people usually ask. Tap one, we’ll answer.

Still unsure? Ask in the community
Is Leaving Socials another social media platform?
Not in the traditional sense. We’re not here to give you another feed to scroll through. We use online infrastructure to help people discover each other, build relationships, and create experiences beyond the screen.
Do I have to quit social media?
No. Leaving Socials is about using it more intentionally, not about deleting every app. Keep whatever actually adds something to your life.
What does “founding member” mean?
You’re joining early. Founding members help decide what the community becomes: the topics, the gatherings and the way we run things.
Where do the real-world gatherings happen?
Wherever members are. Gatherings are planned together with the community, so the more people join from one place, the sooner something happens there.
Who is this for?
Anyone who wants more genuine connection and less comparison. If you’re curious, open and like meeting people on your wavelength, you’ll fit right in.
How do I actually meet people?
Say hi in the community, join a thread or a call, then show up to a gathering. That’s where a digital connection turns into a real one.
Can I try Leaving Socials before joining?
Absolutely. Every new member gets a 7-day free trial to explore the community, meet people, and see if it’s the right fit.
Do you offer a student discount?
Yes! Current students can join for $120 per year instead of $200. To receive your student discount, email hello@leavingsocials.com with proof of current enrollment. We’ll send you a discount code.
