I would say maybe not accessing the site, ever? Give that a try.
I have no social network (not even google+). Some jobs are now asking you (thank god) in interviews. I figure I always have a leg up NOT having an account with ANY social site when interviewing.

So keep posting stupid pictures of yourself, as you're just one less person I have to compete with any time I go for an interview
I'm just not a tweeter, so I suppose I am losing my 15-minutes of fame. I think I'll live. LOL
