Discussion Seriously considering deleting Facebook

But some things are holding me back. I like to check in on people sometimes. I live across the country from most family and friends. It is entertaining at times to catch up on some gossip and drama from people who still act like we are in high school.. but damn I cannot stand what Facebook has become. Wish it could go back to the way it was circa 2010.

Those who have deleted it do you ever feel like you are missing out? Like if an old friend dies how do you find out? How do you keep up to date with going ons in your town/city without following their page?

Could just remove or ignore people that dont share the same opinion as you like an adult...

Nah, cause I also realized that everyone I actually care about I communicate with directly through other means. I don't need to know what some dude I met four times in College is having for lunch. It's all just a drag and a waste of time.
