I want to except here is why I stay: 1) I actually learned most if what I now know about systemic racism, real history, and all that from friends commenting on threads and linking sources. I grew up very conservative where emotions and “common sense” drove outlook and decisions. I swear I found actual facts, evidence, and a brand new world when I saw neighborhood posts and backs and forths about local issues with links to facts. Opened me up to so much stuff I never even knew. One of the neighborhood posts led to someone hosting brunch to discuss racism in the area, inviting people with strong views either way, and I met new friends there that I’m very close to now. 2) I connect deeply with people from college or other parts of life more than I did when we lived life together back in the pre-internet day. 3) I’ve learned so much about shared life experiences and feel so much less like an imposter. Although, Fishbowl does this for me too. I feel seen here.
Yep I quit 2 years ago and never looked back. I do mindlessly scroll on fishbowl still, but Facebook was bad for my emotional state so it still made a huge difference being off.
KPMG1 how long have you been off of FB?
Never had a Facebook account 🤷🏻♀️
Booo! What do you even talk to people about?
Left it 6 years ago and haven’t looked back. So much better off.
Replace the app with Duolingo and learn another language. That's what I've done and makes me feel so much better to spend free time learning something useful.
Yes. 3 weeks ago. Loving it
I removed it from my phone and found that made a massive difference immediately in cutting down mindless scrolling / procrastination. I prioritized family and friend posts that I most care about as it’s sometimes the best place to keep up with my own sister. I also read other posts without engaging now, just to see if it would mess with my timeline and reorganize it. It did. But I’m on it so infrequently now, I just go to the profiles of people I’m curious about and then close the tab. Making me open it on my laptop means I’m making more of a conscious choice.
Unfortunately, my profile is connect to too many biz accounts to be deleted so it’s here to stay for me.
I stopped posting/scrolling “the feed” two years ago.
I do use FB though - I am a member of 4 private groups that relate to some special topics of interest to me. ( one related to a medical condition, one related to a niche hobby, etc) and ONLY post/read those private groups. My friends/family haven’t seen or heard peep from me though so they all think I’m off it.
Yes. Quit Instagram and Facebook a few months ago. Screen time is way down, don’t miss them.
The private support group for a medical condition has been a godsend. Otherwise I don’t use it much any more except to let old friends know when I’ll be in town.
Because I teach Facebook to lawyers as a way of getting new clients, I cannot delete it entirely. However, I have been staying off of my feed more and more since it has become so divisive. I found that it was "raising my blood pressure (figuratively)" and decided to try and remain zen about things.
2 years off. I didn’t delete it completely cause my town’s most influential mom’s group is there.
Got rid of it pre Cambridge Analytica. No regrets!
I am on fb since 2007 I didn't cut the cord but practiced self control.. fb is good to connect with people all over without sharing ph nos and other details
Also I get to know a lot of what's going around
