I 100% respect her decision and I'm sure it is for the best but the wording in some parts was so weird.
She needs privacy for some new projects but why would she need to deactivate, I mean just don't post about it . She is still going to (sadly) have paparazzi and such following her so is not like that would change anything... 
Obviously I believe in what she said but I also think there's something behind the scenes. Maybe it's indeed something about labels. If her contract ended with Interscope (after releasing BB) and she changed to Capitol maybe they are controlling her accounts and she's taking advantage of the change by taking a break off social media while everything is getting done.

it’s really come to this huh  i hope we have plenty of archives of her posts, i would be devastated if it was all lost 
 
i hope she’s alright and if she’s not, i hope she’s working towards doing alright. i stopped posting on social media a while ago and it did wonders for my self image etc. so i think this will be good for her. 
 
she just sounded so sad in the video…i thought i could see tears in her eyes  whatever prompted this decision must’ve had a big impact on her so i’m sending sooooo much love
 
(but imagine if she comes back within, like, a week. she’d make a whole circus out of us. we’d have to rename to clownboards)

She's been using this emoji recently 

This was so unexpected... And the video really has a strange vibe, as some people have observed. She was posting normally about the cover album, about the passport photos and even followed someone on Instagram - In no time did I see it coming today. Personally, I had the feeling that maybe she wasn't even thinking about it and suddenly, for some reason, she decided to leave. But, that's it, if she needs time and it's going to do her well, we must respect her decision and continue to support her in whatever way we can.

this reminded me of a bbc think piece abt lana's "struggle to be mysterious in pop", specifically this quote
 

 
i don't think that's the only, or even the main, reason for her to do this but i wonder if it contributed to her decision. a lot of hw actresses do the no social media thing & it only adds to their glamour & mystique, and she's been burned so many times bc of it maybe she just thought 'fuck it, let's try it another way'
 
(agree that she seemed odd / sad in the video tho, my first thought before even reading comments here was that her speech was slurred & she seemed like she was about to cry throughout the whole thing)

She’ll post a car selphie in a week, like nothing happened 

I like how she posted the "Fuck it I love you" / "The greatest" video on Twitter!

This video made me so sad  Like...U can have your acconut and not post anything please miss lana 

For me she didn't quit forever from social medias. It's only hiatus on some time, temporarily. But I respect her decision. If she needs rest and care about mental health, she could do it. When she needs back, she'll back and will be active again.

Deactivating is not the same as deleting, so I highly doubt she deletes it permanently. She will come back eventually when she is ready. 

Also she might still appear on her friends/family socials maybe not all is lost

this is beyond disgusting & distasteful
i never wished de*th on people, but now i think i do.

Just drove home from a late dinner blasting Arcadia, feeling kinda wistful and sad, then walked in the door to this. The "built me up 300-feet tall" line still on repeat in my head mixed with the tone of the IG video in the most heartbreaking way. 
 
I don't care at all about social media, just want her to be happy, find peace, make beautiful music, and really feel how deeply she is loved by all of us.

I like how she posted the "Fuck it I love you" / "The greatest" video on Twitter!

Imagine the reactions if she had posted this before Blue Banisters official announcement. The meltdowns here would have been epic.
 
I don’t understand her nor Lorde. She is free not to post anything personal related, but your music? Come on, you are artists, announcing music via e-mail is rusted.

god this is so sad i'm gonna miss her insta so much  i've been thinking ab getting off of socials as well so maybe this is my sign. i hope all is well w her and that it's truly just for some privacy.. she deserves some time away, truly

for those interested who don't use insta but wanna keep an archive of her posts there's a google drive folder here!

remembering how joyous this thread was earlier 

The message felt so heartbreaking because of her voice sounded like she was about to cry. And she kept on repeating things like you know when your friend keeps on saying she's OK, she will be fine, you don't need to worry etc. over and over just to make you feel better and not worry about her but you know deep down that something is not right and there's nothing you can do about it.

I've just watched her video and I don't know why, but it feels a bit scary? I mean, especially the begging - her voice is trembling, she blinks a lot and speaks really slow. I completely respect her decision and think it will be good for her mental health, but something in this statement is really weird. Maybe I'm just dramatic, but I can't shut this feeling, that something is not ok. And sorry if it was already told, but I had to write that.

She could keep it just to announce music content and that’s it. She doesn’t even need to deactivate it, her managers could control them when music announcements are needed.
 
Plus, she could at least have waited until BB is out. But if it’s her decision I will support. It’s not like she is pretty active there anyway.

The way she posted FIILY/The Greatest video on Twitter:
 
"I'm wasted
Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call
I'm facing the greatest
The greatest loss of them all
The culture is lit and I had a ball
I guess that I'm burned out after all
If this is it, I'm signing off"

I'm usualy not someone who gets dramatic bout things like this but this "deactivating"-video kind uf fucked me up.
She seemed so emotional with that shaking voice and wet eyes and up until today she was so active and open and nothing indicated she'd do something like this. 

i’m gonna miss her (albeit limited) social media presence, but i feel like this will be really good for her! the media has obviously affected her a lot negatively and so it seems really great that she’s taking a step back from it all and focusing on what she’s passionate about (whether that be continuing to make records in peace and private, spending time with her growing family, etc) 

I like how she posted the "Fuck it I love you" / "The greatest" video on Twitter!
