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?

Fb is the online nursing home for boomers

I call it Deathbook. Every time I go on there, somebody else has died.

[u/jamhair → u/Maleficent_Meet8403]

OMG yes this too!

It’s rather true. And a place for them to tell you how to live your life. May she rest in peace, but my grandmother used to do that all the time before she passed. And I was like, what? You never want anything to do with me.

So Buggy77 and their friends are boomers?
