Just deleted my Facebook account and it feels great

Facebook is a cesspool. It’s like the politics thread on here but 10x worse.
I’m getting rid of mine end of the week. Some people I’ve only talked with on FB Messenger so I messaged all of them to give them my phone # so want to make sure I give them time to check their messages before I delete my account.
What the hell kind of friends do you have if you’ve unfollowed all of them? You need to learn how to make some better friends.
Do you not have an iPhone? She could receive iMessages on the iPad if you have an iPhone
Meh, I could do that but then I’m still a user for them to exploit for their financial benefit. Tired of playing a part in an organization that profits off of allowing violent extremists to thrive on their platform while also pushing people towards those groups by putting them as suggested groups for people to join. If someone supports and/or promotes that then I’m not going to help them in any capacity. I know losing me isn’t going to are a bit of a difference to them in the grand scheme of things but I’m not casting aside my principles over it anymore.
You're a "progressive" leftist. You have no principles except those that lead to the destruction of America. You're just mad that Zuckerberg isn't caving to the mob and banning the speech of our president from Facebook .. yet. You want it fully controlled like the MSM lies you gobble up 24/7.

My favorite part of FB is not my friends and relatives. But informative posts by some of my favorite bands and musicians that I follow. Also when I see new photos of fitness models, like the hot chick in my avatar.
Besides, when you get fed up with crazy political posts from far-left or far-right people, ignorant religious posts, and folks that share urban legends as if they're real news, cant you simply unfollow those people and enjoy the rest of what FB offers?

Thinking about stepping away from some of that stuff too. There is too much going on in this world and social media just adds to the stress of it all.
Hilarious, yeah I had Facebook for a minute back in 2004-2005. Only had it when I had active uky.edu email address....I cancelled account that year when my GF at the time didn't like some pics/comments posted and haven't had one since. She was a whacko anyway so it saved me a lot of hassle.
Only social media I have is LinkedIn which I use for work (and that is quickly deteriorating into garbage like FB) and Twitter for UK recruiting news which is pointless and I never use (complete cesspool).
Social Media is a major culprit of our societal problems.
It used to be good to keep political opinions private. I remember my parents not saying who they voted for when I was a kid....now it is a topic of almost every persons conversation.
Just deleted my account today after finally hearing back from everyone I actively kept in contact with on there via Messenger.
Place is a cesspool and Zuckerberg is a piece of shit. I know I won’t matter to them but I’m not supporting that platform anymore.

Thinking of deleting mine as well. First, everyone is a disease expert, now they are racism experts.

Yep. That is what makes keeping it harder for me.
I told a friend of mine several years I was going to sign up on Facebook and he told me, " When you do, you'll find out how stupid people really are " and he was right. I deleted it within 2 months
And that looks just like an idiotic Facebook post
Must have missed it. Your not on ignore, yet, but I no longer read your posts. Doubt I missed much.
Download the BandsInTown app my man. Easiest way to keep up with bands coming to your area and their updates without all of the unneccessary social media b.s. you get with FB, IG, etc.
I try not to get political on FB for 2 reasons.
1. You're not going to change anyone's mind with a FB post.
2. Whatever stand you take you'll anger half of your friends.

Everbody uses FB for their 15 minutes of fame, 24/7/365...
The worst posts.
"I had a really bad day"
Begging someone to reply, "what happened?"
As if they couldn't just say what happened to begin with. Some people just need constant attention.

There's a church near me where some people were being so bad on social media that they had a sermon about it. They were told to share their faith instead of their politics, build peace instead of ill will, etc. Totally backfired. They're worse now because they think they are doing it for God.
