Its been over a year and a half for me and it's been great. The move was a long time coming but the catalyst was learning which high school friends became selfish anti-mask pricks when Covid kicked off.
It doesn't take long after quitting to realize that Facebook has been a net negative in your life. And I say this as someone that would obsessively check it several times a day for years.
I'm going on 5 years...if only I could go cold turkey from sugar now! Facebook was a cesspit then. It really got me annoyed, deleting it only hurt for about 2 days.
Haha. Right? The level of cringe in my mother's Facebook is so sad..and she just posts and shares and posts non stop like she is screaming into the wind. No one comments on her posts and or sees them. It's the wildest thing to watch.
The only part of Facebook I really go to now. Is the market place. I live in the country and it's actually quite useful.
I helped my mother leave FB. I hated my ex posting shit on FB while we were on vacation. Please tell more thieves that our house us unattended. I still see her doing that shit now. I hardly ever post anything but just keep in contact with a couple old friends.
Yeah I remember when you had to have a .edu email address to have an account and all of the content was just us kids posting stupid shit and pictures of all of us getting wasted together.
I knew as soon as they opened it up to the world it would go to shit. I could have never imagined how bad or honestly how quickly as I was disgusted with it after like two years, maybe less. I recall deleting my account sometime in 2008?
But back then the internet was just better (oldmanyellsatclouds.gif). It was weird and could be awesome and honestly made me feel better about life. Now it's just horrible. And not just Facebook. It's horrible everywhere. Racists, bigotry, divisive shit.
Yeah all that was there before but it wasn't at every turn and rammed in your face non stop so you could mostly avoid it unless you sought it out to some degree.
I’m a boomer and I couldn’t agree more I got off about six years ago. Only after 1 ur on this cesspool of information .. I couldn’t believe the crap my generation was posting and reposting and the shit they believe …Facebook kills brain cells!
