Since I've deactivated it, my stress level has decreased a bit.

Where do I begin about my many reasons for hating Fakebook. Way too much drama, one sided opinion's, some of those awful memes, and people spreading misinformation (i.e Vaccines cause autism). The whole " I'm ugly and no one loves me" " If you don't say hi I will delete you". Seriously STFU.

It's whole point in existing is to enrage people so they don't leave the site.


Yeah, that's what I came to find. One moral outrage thing after another. Ugh... just makes my blood boil thinking about it.

I deleted mine too. My so called friends ignore me unless they have something they want to share about religion. They're all a bunch of Conservative Christians who hate animals.

I only have Facebook as a networking contact than as an actual social media platform.

Never get the Facebook app itself, only the messenger for my intended purpose with it.
I would've only installed lite if it weren't for those reply features.

I only message and call -- because using my non-expiring data or wifi is cheaper than calls and texts messaging.

Or play games sometimes.
When I was younger, it's the only reason why I ever registered to any social media at all; internet browser games.


I don't post, I don't like, I don't share...

I don't care about personal posts whenever I browse and see the notifs (though I get distracted by memes, random facts, funny stuff, interesting topics of choice like DIYs that I will never do or just overall internet stuff -- just like youtube, this website and anywhere else), barely paid attention to personal notifs like birthdays and stories and other things that are not posts about real life events, announcements or events that I can participate online.


No, I don't need "willpower" to ignore those 'triggering' things everyone kept telling across the internet that made them envious, shamed, anxious, influenced by some trend or whatever.

I'm just genuinely uninterested about the 'happy portrayal bits of other people' or whatever metric of most people thought of.

Also 'opinions' and 'convictions' are long too old news for me to be ever get to me.
At worst, I'd be disgusted. :roll: And whatever that will be won't lasts in my mind for a day.

Otherwise, it won't interest me for long unless they get an update or something new -- which is what I'm looking for across the internet and anywhere I'm active which it happens that it includes facebook.

When I go on Facebook at all, which is very rare, it's for the groups I'm in. I love the teddy bear community there, except that all they ever do is post pictures of their bears, and also they can get elitist sometimes. They also used to have a whole bunch of classic soap operas, all put together in playlists by year. They took those off sadly, because some turdbird copyright struck them. As far as all that other toxicity on FB, I just blaze past that crap.
