Anyone else DELETED Their Facebook Account?

[Skywired]

Yep. I deleted mine 2 months ago. And I haven't missed it. If you need to talk to me, try dialing my phone #. Or email/text me.

I need someone to show me how. I am sick of it, I do not trust a thing these days

I only post when I'm leaving home, where the house keys are, and the cash stash. And the combo to the gun safe.

I here folks talking about it all the time and now this.
What in the hell is facebook?

 

[BigBoxaJunk]

Like I need another way for people to get in touch with me?

There were several people, way back in the day, who I never spoke to again, after I made the best purchase of my life: Caller ID

I deleted mine years ago. I was depressed to learn how stupid so many people are.

"...A survey released Wednesday by Pew Research Center found that 26 percent of U.S. users have deleted the Facebook app from their cell phones during the last 12 months, 54 percent adjusted their privacy settings, and about 40 percent of users 18 and older are taking a break from checking the platform for several weeks or longer...." Unfriending Facebook: More than a quarter of users have done it

I have disabled it but not deleted. I’ll go back at some point.

but it became somewhat of a hindrance to my sense of contentment.

It’a funny that the first day I did it I had numerous times something happened where I instantly thought “I need to post that!”

 

[femurphy77]

I get frequently chastised by real friends and family because I don't "facebook" more. I average once every 10 days or so, I told them if they want to know what I'm up to they should just "call" me.


What a concept; a device that by pushing a few buttons allows you to speak and listen to someone that isn't even in the same room! What'll they think of next???

 

[hoosierdoc]

I consider phone calls a bit cumbersome now. Like I really need something major to chat about to call. That’s probably the fault of texting

I use it mainly to stay in touch with friends/family that are miles/states/country's away. I am on a few times a day and have recently found the strength to stop messing with the idiots and snowflakes. Nothing I/we do will change the mindset.

I still have a fb but i havent posted anything in a while over a year. I keep it because i have very few friends here. All my friends are scattered across the country or globe. I also have about 70 or 80 cousins and 20 sets of aunts and uncles. That coupled with i dont like talking on my phone means that i will occassionly get on and snoop. Usually once a month to make sure theres no new babies in the family. Haha. Also my classmates have a group chat where we help each other with homework or communicate anything else we need. I did delete it off my phone and have to access it from my laptop.

 

[WanderingSol07]

I have a fb account, but rarely post anything and don't have any personal info on the site except my name. I've made friends only with other family members so I can find out what is going on. You can really learn a lot about your family you rarely see by reading their posts. I am very glad I rarely see some of them! :-)

Reviving an old thread because this has become relevant...

My Facebook account has always been for family sharing only, a handful of "friends" and I use it for a few tractor groups and marketplace. Otherwise, I do not use Facebook. During the election cycle, I just got tired of all of the hate and attacks that went unchecked by "moderators".

Same for Twitter. The vitriol language there by a narrow and extremist populous makes it a useless service for me. So many people can hide behind their keyboard and the anonymity the Internet offers. I have never liked Twitter anyway and saw no value in it. I closed that account without losing a wink of sleep.

My wife has just been kicked off of Facebook for the second time this month for posting pro-Trump information.

Deleted mine along with Instagram yesterday. I have a twitter account but I've never used it.

Nope, he’s hunting over bait!

If by deleted, you mean I didn’t even have MySpace, then Yep?
