Here's an insta video compilation, so many iconic moments 
 

basically like a private instagram that only a few people you know follow, like close friends

it's so weird how people expect celebrities to make political statements/be publically political... they're here to entertain & create... they aren't politicians...  

It's not like Lana is completely sworn off Instagram, her finsta account is alive and breathing. I'm pretty sure it gained more posts on the day she deactivated (not 100% sure so don't hold me to it).
I think one of the things Lana has struggled with from her public Instagram is feeling the need to say something political like all the other celebs, and if she doesn't then people are like "why hasn't she said anything about [........]"? Instagram isn't for posting cute pics anymore unfortunately, and everyone expects you to write fake woke essays that pertain to the next trendy news story that's floating around. I can see how this factor could deter Lana from using her public acc. At least with her finsta, no one is watching her like a hawk ready to pounce.

I've been thinking about what @lustforlife said about Blue Banisters being "the end of Lana Del Rey" a lot after Lana deleted her socials and, like others have been saying, I think she has been planning this for a while too. It makes me sad to think, but I really do think this is just the beginning of the end (whatever that really means lol)
I'll be happy with whatever she chooses to share with us, but whether she is leaving Interscope, signing with Capitol Records or just releasing on her own, I think that eventually she won't release anything anymore. I'm also feeling like we won't be getting tours or merch like we did in the past again either...I think she'll make things really low-key tbh
She said she's here for the music now and has projects to release, but I fear that just leaving social media won't be enough. The media will always try to tear her down and I think she will get sick of it and keep her music and poetry to herself which is really sad. It makes me so angry that the media and people in general keep attacking her no matter what she does.
But anyways, I just think we should really cherish what she gives us over the next few years, just in case she decides to leave for good 

I had the same thoughts. + recently, she often follows blogs moms in Hawaii. and I also saw how she leaves them cute comments. maybe she really wants a change of scenery and to move away. who knows... we support her decision in any case. and I hope that she is doing well and she’s happy. I'm glad she can focus on the things that are important to her, spend time with her family and just live her life to the fullest. She deserves the best 

in the sceenshot she posted of hbtb she is singing "loving u is hard, being here is harder"
i dont think this was mentioned but i saw it on twitter, i wonder if that was her intention with the picture,
i wish her the best

This. I think this deactivation of social media is less about a mental health break, and more about becoming private in a way. We know she doesn’t like fame and I don’t think she ever wanted to be a alt/pop artist with 20.7 million followers. That’s a lot. I feel like she’s always wanted to be low key and just do her thing. She doesn’t want “fans” harassing her future boyfriends, family, friends. I am curious to see when she is spotted out if she will continue to take pics with fans, etc. or if she’s really done with the whole thing. Also sending messages to those select few fans and asking for their info makes it seem like she’s going to be gone and out of touch for awhile. 

She’s already on Lanaboards.

The world's a little sadder now that she's not on SM anymore, usually the first thing I did in the morning was to check if she had posted something on Insta. But I totally respect her choice and I think it'll do her a ton of good to just go and live her life and not worry about the whole SM stuff.
Lately I've been reading Nick Cave's page "Red Hand Files", where fans send in questions to him on all sorts of topics and he answers them. Would be so nice if Lana did something like that... https://www.theredhandfiles.com/
Also wondering if she's maybe thinking about moving to Hawaii? She sings about being Western bound in Arcadia, and isn't the only place west from LA, Hawaii? She also followed a lot of Hawaii influencers on Insta, even following another one just shortly before she deactivated. And also the recent Edge of Paradise post.. But on the other hand, all her friends & family are in LA, and knowing how much she treasures them, she probably won't want to move. But who knows

cant wait for new selfie at missdaytona 

why did lana have to delete her accounts, couldn’t she just not post?

She could've just disabled comments and kept the content to music-related announcements
I hate having to rely on Ben Mawson 

imagine if she creates a lanaboards account and say something from time to time right here  too good to be true 

At least one good thing about this is that I don't have to read the word "picsart" again.

I want the picture discs 
let’s hope we will actually get them… maybe they didn’t have time, especially because of vinyl plants being crazy nowadays… but I want them 

So I'm thinking about settling for the white pressing since all the variants have been revealed unfortunately  but i think I'm gonna wait till people start receiving their vinyls first before i buy it. I've seen some other white translucent vinyls and it can be deceptive cause the actual vinyl itself ends up being literally just clear. Gonna wait it out and see if thats the case with Lana's vinyl or if it really is a mystical white foggy day trapped in plastic 
 
 
dont mind me just rambling aloud on the merch thread 

I've been thinking about something for a while ... It doesn't seem strange to you that took Lana about two years or so to release records. And suddenly in a matter of 6 months we have had two albums? In BB, half are songs that we already know.
This reinforces the theory that she is going to sign for Capital Records. Perhaps to end her contract with Interscope she should release this record. The cover album has been announced for almost a year, and has not yet seen the light. This may suggest that Interscope disagreed with the project, and same with the second book of poetry.
 
Of course the timing to leave social networks is strange, just before the album. Also in this era there has been less promotion than in COCC, and there was little there. We have known everything thanks to the insiders.
It is also very strange that in the BB era we did not receive many of the vinyl versions in Europe.
 
We already know how Lana is. She was not comfortable with social networks. She uploads photos and after a few minutes delete them. I think the best thing is to take some time for herself and disconnect. Also at the beginning of the year, she said that she was going to be away from SM for a while. And she came back weeks later, and surely that will happen again. All we have to do is respect her decision and support it. 

Def not, if she wants to stay out of the public eye shes not going where more cameras are, imo

Im waiting this week for Fnac France

i've seen a lot of comments like this here, on twitter, etc. & find them kinda funny / weird tbh. like, a lot of regular ass ppl deactivate or delete their socials bc while they're active the temptation to go back "for just a min" "just to see what's going on" is always there, so what makes you all believe a celeb would be different, especially since they know ppl are for sure talking abt them?
 
also, maybe this was a therapist's advice? ppl aren't equipped to receive the insane amount of tribal hate OR love that celebs do, it's bound to mess with anyone's head so it seems extremely wise to remove yourself from the craziness when you're already prone to mental illness.

hey yall
 
i've been just as intrigued as most of u and i decided to do a quick lenormand reading for this situation and i want to share it with u all :
 
1. Why is Lana deactivating her socials?
 
Letter+Cloud+Mountain+Scythe  - Anchor+Tree+Star
 

 
 
So starting with letter (communication) and clouds (no clarity) it seems that her message came across as confusing or unclear on the specific underlying issue. Clouds cover the clear sky and if they are covering the letter then indeed she is covering some stuff. There are lots of misunderstandings about the why of the deactivation. The mountain is a blockage/stop and could lead to the silence in communication (letter+mountain) so these first cards kind of show the general situation. After the stop (mountain) there is the actual cut off (scythe). So: To be completely stuck in a problematic, confused situation. There is a possible secret no one talks about.To sum things up (for someone else); to state clearly what's what. To inform someone about a conclusion one has made / to be informed about a final result. 
 
The why: Ancor+Tree+Star - especially because the scythe continues with the anchor, she is ending the status quo; cutting off one's fetters; to abruptly untangle herself from restraints (anchor). This seems like a well-deserved or self-caused hold-up/break from boring routine or from something that was stopping her from doing what she wanted to grow (tree) related to her celebrity status (star,  the last). But anchor+tree could also mean focusing on health or just taking a break in nature to feel a very strong sentiment of safety and stability. Routines (or pauses) dictated by one's nature (e.g. sleeping cycle). Stopping, pausing, helps to replenish one's energy reserves. The tree and star together are interesting because its exactly the contradiction: pragmatical, materialistic world view, and an esoteric, spiritual one. She might want to find a balance between health/body and spirit.
 
In short: I think there is something that did not allow her to grow as much as she wanted in a specific direction (mountain), so she cut if off (scythe), because it was weighing her down (anchor) and she could not grow (tree) in the direction she wants to as a star but also the star is about hopes so she might have other dreams and wishes. Also just really taking a break. I believe she communicated with us in a confusing way (letter+clouds) and we cant see everything about it but i really dont think this is a bad situation. With the tree, I think she wants to be a down to earth person and live more modest and peacefully

I will miss Lana Del Rey on Instagram, she was always so cute and really seems like a genuinely sweet person. She was refreshing. All my best to dear Lana.

If this current BB era is her Ultraviolence throwback, then I'm hoping the 'no social media' will lead to her private Honeymoon throwback era next 

Yeah maybe my post came off wrong, I wasn't blaming her (although as @Lemonade Tea said she does have favourites) but many fans have no boundaries. Like okay, if you have the money and means to follow her around the US or even the world that's your business, but I don't think she should reward that with attention. It's not beneficial for her or for them, because she's just encouraging this brand of toxic frenzied stan behaviour that happens both on and offline.
I mean there have been people (or at least, I know of one person) who even attended a Churchome service just to be close to her, other people have been to her house, etc.
So maybe this is partially an attempt to keep people at arm's length (out of sight out of mind concept), and I can't blame her for that, especially now given that there's a baby in the family.
