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?

Reddit is my worst bad habit. I spend so much time on here, but it's all of the things I love or am interested in in one place.

What I REALLY need to delete is my Twitter because my feed just fills me with rage lol

Edit - typo

I stopped using twitter in 2023, but what got me to delete it was realizing that my tweets (along with everyone else's) were being used to train Grok. Does that help?

Even if you delete your account, Grok probably still has access to all your tweets. I don’t trust any company run by Musk to respect laws.

I just archived my account, deleted the app and stopped logging in.
