I use FB for friends families and a private group. Twitter to follow certain things but almost never tweet. Barely IG, I do not use snapchat and I have the TT app so I can watch other videos sent to me on that platform but do not go scrolling through it. Im gen x and I feel both ways. I want to stay semi plugged in because like it or not tech is here to stay and always changing. I do not have a single friend on my list that I dont personally know, or would call or have seen in the last couple of years. I almost always deny any request that I can tell come from people snooping for mutual friends on their friends' pages and sending me a request. Just because we went to school together does not guarantee I will accept your request. I purge the list every so often and delete people I havent interacted with and am notorious for leaving people in "friend request limbo" meaning I havent made up my mind one way or another.
I am not naive enough to think social media is so safe and pure and roses and lolipops. These media companies are in it for profits-info-etc and have no actual interest in anything about me other than my data. I have the strictest privacy settings I can have (I hope) and no matter what I know whatever I type will come back to haunt me, nothing is ever deleted/
