I deactivated/deleted content off my facebook back in 2008. Best decision I ever made. Then a year or two ago I learned that it somehow magically got re-activated. So I had to sign on to deactivate it again.

Yes happened to me too.

I deactivated prob 5 years ago then one day started to email updates and it had magically reacrived itself.

Facebook is a bane on social groups. You actively have to be secretive just so everyone doesnt find out what you do.

97% of its just junk too.

I hear this a lot from other people. ^

When I stopped using FB, what I did was I PM'd every "friend" I had listed and asked them to write me at my email, to use my email as a way to keep in touch because i was no longer going to use FB.

Out of 40-50 people I had listed on FB, 3-4 actually did that and still do to this day.

I do not miss social interactions IRL because I do not use FB, I only miss out on social interactions if I choose to not keep in touch using the phone, emails, written mail, etc.

There are alternative ways to stay in touch with others other than using FB.

I honestly think either people are addicted to FB and use this as an excuse, or they really believe they simply have to have it because everybody else has it.

I'm aware there are other methods of communication than Facebook, but surely you can see how removing myself from one of the most commonly used social sites would negatively impact the amount of communication I receive. People are lazy, and usually that means invites for shit go out on Facebook and nowhere else. I don't want to count on a special invitation to parties, because I would miss out on quite a lot that way.

My closest friends, or friends who are inviting me to important events, do it in person, over the telephone, or via text or email.
Facebook is for birthday party invites, or casual “don’t really care if you show up or not” invites
I still have a Facebook because I find it very entertaining.

I use facebook to keep in touch with my friends and family but the bullshit they all post about makes me want to permanently avoid all of humanity.

The problem is Facebook's sharing algorithms for news feed.

If a picture or video is shared and it does not use Facebook's image or video hosting service, it will be surpreessed. If an image or video does use those things, it will be promoted. This isn't particularly relevant to what we are talking about right now, but it is very shitty because it basically stifles people linking to original content and promotes pages that steal and rehost content without giving credit.

The real problem is that posts are limited on how many people they reach and how much they show up on people's wall, however, the number of people who see a post is increased by two factors:

1. The person/page making the post can pay money to have it reach more people.

2. The more comments and reactions (not just likes, but angry faces, hearts, etc) a post gets, the more likely it is to show up. This means that the most controversial shit is what you end up seeing. Your friend makes a post "Going to the beach tomorrow, anyone want to come?" - you won't see it on your timeline. Your friend reacts with a like or a frowny face to some stupid political post with like 200,000 reactions / comments on it? TO THE TOP OF YOUR NEWS FEED!

It's not that your friends and family are stupid, it's that Facebook purposely shows you the most stupid shit they've interacted with almost exclusively.

Holy shit you're actually upset about the vegan part of this flaming pile of garbage you posted?

Like it's up to men to shut up and take the blame for strangers?

How about if stupid bitches didn't date assholes and encouragement to be assholes to be attractive?

How about if they straight up took ownership of their bodies and started calling people out for harassing them on the street?

How about they stop replying on MEN to solve their problems for ONCE in their "feminist oppressed participation trophy" life.

you're a nice guy

tips fedora

for all the fat betas that hot socialist cam girls call sexist internet trolls when they out on social media talking about BLM and feminism instead of collecting coins on their channel...

i salute you

[mickmoranis]

you kno, I did go through my feed for about a week and any post that was a link to a media outlet, any article shared, any bullshit political share, I went through and hit

Hide from my news feed > hide all from [the media outlet the post was] from your newsfeed

after doing that for about 800 billion shitty shares stupid idiots i call my friends and family, made on facebook.. I got rid of basically all news on my feed.

its great

Unless all the libcucks and beta males I am friends with decide to get all cunty and post #metoo on their feed, then Id have to hide them specifically.

Which is sutpid, just because I think youre a libcuck beta male or fat socialist librtard whale, doesnt mean I dont want to be friends with you. But sometimes they make it almost impossible to keep on the feed with their permenent fireants up their pussy holes and penis holes that got them all upset all the time.

But anywho, hiding major media outlets from my feed seems to work pretty good. I havent seen a salon.com article in months.

I know this is rants and flames, so my words probably have zero weight with you, but you sound like you have serious problems. I'm not even trying to flame you. You need to calm the fuck down, because I don't know how anyone could take you seriously talking like that.
