I quit FB but didn’t delete my account. I just deactivated it. Boy they would send me emails with one-liner teasers of my friends posts hoping I would go back.

I quit FB but didn’t delete my account. I just deactivated it. Boy they would send me emails with one-liner teasers of my friends posts hoping I would go back. They even sent me an email with one-click to immediately activate my account. So I simply filtered these emails to the trash. They have texted me twice so far but I simply ignored it. Been few months and it’s much better now.

To quote myself from the last FB thread: > Same here. But different people value different things out of relationships. I prefer to have a handful of people close to me and don't seek out daily updates on everyone else. > In fact, I enjoy running into those people or meeting up with them periodically even more because then they can tell me everything they've been going through in person. To me that's more fun than getting a stream of micro updates on everyone. Keeping up-to-date with multiple people using FB is like trying to watch multiple shows in one line snippets concurrently mixed together. When you could just wait a bit and then watch it all as a contiguous story or have a real meaningful conversation with a person to catch up over dinner or something.
