A few days ago I decided I was done with Facebook for good. It just makes me depressed nowadays. I listened to a talk given by Chamath Palihapitiya and another given by Sean Parker and they both used a phrase that kinda freaked me out
About 2 weeks after I stopped, I no longer even wanted to use it and actually thought it was a little weird how I ever wanted to. But in 2007, it was cool and fun.
- welly 8y agoI get facebook and was a user (on and off as I almost annually deleted my account) but then I found it a massive waste of time so gave up entirely just after Christmas. I did join back up again for one specific facebook group. however I wasn't getting much out of it and on top of that, the Cambridge Analytica debacle just left a bad taste in my mouth and I've dropped facebook entirely, again. It's been about 3 months now and I really have no desire to sign up again - occasionally I've browsed the group as an anonymous user and nothing has inspired me to join. I've also dropped Twitter and other social media sits - I feel that until they get their shit together as far as privacy concerns, I'm just not interested in being part of any of that. So it's HN and a couple of subject specific forums for me, and that will do for my "social media" needs. I've considered joining reddit but the jury is still out on that.
