I tried that for a while, I would go months without logging in, but for one reason or another I would log in to check something.
The last time I did this my news feed left me feeling so negative I decided that I was done and I deleted my account.
So far it has been easier to say "I don't have a facebook account" than to explain why I never post anything or answer did you see what I posted questions.
- marricks 6y agoI really wonder why anyone advocates "not logging in" and if it's ever in good faith? Something always drags you back and it's just a quick step to get sucked in again. I tried to use it less and it just never worked, FB pays billions to optimize sucking you back in. Deleted my account and it was perfect, no emails, no getting drawn if, if someone wants to talk with me there's a dozen chat service to choose from besides facebook.
- blunte 6y agoPerhaps it is my paranoia, but I worry that someone could create a lookalike to my account and misrepresent me. So I leave my real account there and simply don't mess with it. Occasionally I post that people should reach me by email.
- marricks 6y agoWhat harm could someone do with a fake account, also doesn't FB go through creepy lengths to verify your identity? I'm more paranoid about FB hoovering all my personal information by proxy of having an account and friends tagging me in picture and friending me, filling out my real life social network in their database.
