I just unsubscribed from everyone's feed. No need to be that drastic (deleting facebook). If I want to catch up on someone's life, I simply look at their page (like in 2005 pre-feed).
If you're so concerned about people's "staged moments", it seems you should create the life you want for yourself instead of assuming their moments are "staged". I'll never understand envy, such a childish emotion.
- realusername 11y agoOn my case I've just installed the 'News Feed Eradicator' extension which deletes all the news feed and replaces it with inspirational quotes. So I have the best of both worlds, I still use Facebook to contact people but I don't see all the bad stuff, I essentially use Facebook as MSN.
- cylinder 11y agoYep, this is the key. I like occassionally sharing our photos with family, and the messaging is convenient. Feed doesn't make me depressed, it makes me annoyed at how stupid my "friends" are. I've just been hiding people more and more and then I'm liberated of their stressful stupidity.
- ljk 11y ago> staged moments That's such an accurate way of describing it! reminded me of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxVZYiJKl1Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxVZYiJKl1Y
- Splines 11y agoI like that approach. I'm going to give it a shot, thanks for the idea. I'm a very infrequent Facebook user. I'll like posts from close family occasionally, and that's about it. I took my birthday off my profile and haven't posted anything in probably about a year.
