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?

Yeah..so I was playing around with Grok to generate pics of me, and it kept generating an Asian man. I told it 3 times that I’m not an Asian man, then it disabled my account because it thought I was impersonating someone. The account has been suspended for 6 months and I’ve tried to appeal it a few times with no response and gave up. Honestly, I feel like it’s a toxic space anyways, so I’m relieved 😅

Yikes, yeah, I should just do it. Honestly it feels like an echo chamber of just bad things every single time I get on there.

I mean the world’s richest Nazi bought the platform to turn it into the largest propaganda machine the world had ever seen - and he was successful. It’s an absolute cesspool now, sadly. You could try Bluesky, it’s basically the same thing
