Not being on Facebook.

I've been "Not on FB" for like six months now. It's great. But not nearly as good as not being somewhere else that I've not been for a year and a half, lol.

I've considered said challenge. So let's see if I can make it.

I've been off FB for about 6 months too, don't miss it much. Only thing I really liked were the memories.

I've been thinking of doing this.ML, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn
But FB was never for news, just chatting. That's all I use those others for, too.

Yeah, really don't miss it, at all. I hated FB.

I've been thinking of doing this.I've been using Instagram a little, but I'm rapidly getting sick of it. NPR app for news. ML for everything else. I haven't been a fan of LinkedIn since it's inception.

I was on it back when you had to have a .edu email to sign up. It was soooo much better then. Now it is complete shit, I agree.

I have some people who talk to me on that. That's why I'm there.

Oh wow. I was on a long time, but not that long.

I hate fb too, wont use it. I pretty much just come here and Slack where I chat to people I actually invited and have an rss channel set up for sites I want to read. So basically, check rss, see if I have messages from family, then work. I just ignore everything else I come across throughout the day.
-
I dumped FB in Jan19 - About the only thing I miss is the comments from friends about things that happen... and photos. I don't miss the political, religious, you must help me overcome, give me money posts. And the big one,.. the hate posts.
It was (one avenue) of keeping in touch with people I won't get to talk to much. Ah well..
-
I use Facebook as a way to keep in touch with family and friends who don’t live close to me. I use FB Messenger to talk to my wife throughout the work day. If I wasn’t in IT I doubt I’d have a phone with internet. I’d prefer to be disconnected from the world. I’d rather be on my boat fishing all day.
-
One day after one of the mass shootings ( I don't remember which one), my brother and sister-in-law posted a 'We are the NRA' picture. That's when I decided that Facebook wasn't for me.
I don't care what your philosophy is. I don't need it shoved in my face. <<Pun intended>>

I was doing that (family and stuff), but honestly, it seems like if people don't move to something else to talk to, not a big deal.
