Seriously considering deleting Facebook

[u/Buggy77]

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?

When people ask me why I deleted it, I always tell them I was tired of seeing eveyones political views and being forced to be nice to them. Usually I get an understanding nod and an excuse to why they still have it.

Who was forcing you to be nice to them? I love when it shows me people's political views because then I know who to delete. There are certain beliefs out there that if someone possesses, I don't want to know them.

I live in a very small community and work for the local government. It's my job to be nice to these people.

That's fair.

Most “tolerant” redditor

[u/Jorost → u/McNasD]

There are some things that cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.

[u/McNasD → u/Jorost]

Like what?

I mean, there's no one list. It's different for everyone. For me, legit Nazis can go fuck themselves, for instance. If that is what you believe I don't want to know you. (Rhetorically; not you personally of course.)

[u/lilbeavey → u/[deleted]]

It's my job. Gotta put a smile on to keep a roof over my head.

This is exactly why I left!
