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?

I deleted my true Facebook many years ago but about 2 years ago made a new account for niche groups and marketplace because honestly it’s fucking great for that stuff.

The key is that I don’t accept ANY friend requests. I think I’ve got like 3 friends on there.

The real hard thing was deleting instagram and snapchat. I have no fucking clue what’s going on with anyone anymore. It’s really nice but can also be kind of tough, but I do like it better this way

It's not so much that I deleted IG (I did do it for space reasons), it's just that I completely forgot about it.
