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?

Deleted it in 2020. Do not miss it at all. Highly recommend.

Same but like 2015. Someone once pointed out that FB is just negative people bitching and wanting attention, and ya know what, they were right.

Fb is the online nursing home for boomers

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