Deactivated FB six weeks ago.
I'm not saying you should do the same, but I'm not not saying it.
6 weeks? I thought everyone left that dumpster fire 8 years ago
Nope.
It's a shame they didn't.
My municipality is posting important information on there, I cannot leave yet. I’ve sent a complaint but “everyone uses it”.
Thats about when I dropped FB for the second time for the last time... I was dating a girl that didn't believe I didnt have a FB, my dumbass makes a new one and it was pure misery like the last go. I can't imagine how bad it is now...
It's how I stay updated on events mostly. Even if a decent alternative existed it would take a long time to get many of my friends and family to move, not to mention some of the groups.
Understable. Requires more legwork without it, but I don't mind that for the mental health tradeoff.
Deactivating is for wafflers. Delete that shit, burn the crops, and salt the earth in your wake.
It's really not.
You're still starving the beast. Deactivating just leaves the people who know me an outlet to get in touch if needed.
I told myself that... And then would reactivate and spend a day or two falling back in. Like a shitty relationship. Eventually, I had to cut the cord entirely.
Sometimes that's the best way to go. For me, deactivating's been fine. I like Mastodon and Lemmy way more.
I need it to contact like 90% of the people I talk to
Are all your friends American retirees?
Not necessarily. You can deactivate FB and still keep your contacts to use in Messenger.
I was banned from FB years ago, they did me a favor
You are still looking at a Facebook post. You simply found a way to feel superior to the people who do it on Facebook.
It's not a superiority thing.
As much as I dislike FB, it unfortunately still has a lot of use for most people. I get that.
