I didn't quit, but I stopped reading the Facebook feed. That was a major step for me, as I was somewhat north of Facebook's average of 55 minutes per user per day on the site. This has really helped cut that down to < 10.
- m0th87 16y agoI stopped reading the feed too. People were never going to leave facebook in droves. But the controversies eventually become exhausting to the point where it's difficult to justify regular visitations, which is a hit to facebook. Social networking have been deprecated in the past. It happened to myspace, and friendfeed before it. I remember the proponents of myspace arguing it couldn't lose momentum when it was at its peak, but it surely did. Perhaps predicting these things is a bit of a black swan event.
- stanleydrew 16y ago> and friendfeed before it. I think you meant Friendster.
- m0th87 16y agoWhoops, good catch.
- logic 16y agoI maintain an account there purely as an identity placeholder, with an explanation of such in my description (with all other privacy choices set to "only me"). I'm not adding new friends (but I haven't mass de-friended anyone, to ensure the account actually serves as a credible placeholder), and I'm not interacting with the site at all except via incognito mode in Chrome when someone sends me something that requires a Facebook login. I'm much happier as a result.
