    Just deleted my account.
    For the last year I barely posted anything besides links to videos or some events.

    I can't stand it anymore the "me me me" show.
    I was once part of it.

    But damn, everybody has an opinion on everything and the quantity of conspiracy theories and manipulation...fucking hell.

    And having different friends posting the same links that someone posted like 10 years ago...fuck, is there anything new?

    Besides my Mum I barely spoke to anyone.

    Every time I added someone to my friends list I would write people but rarely received a reply.

    I had once 600 friends on it and could easily have more but in the end I was trying to sort the list to 100 that really matter and replied.

    Maybe it's me :-D

    Besides, Facebook is for old people ;-)

    I don't have a Instagram or Whatsapp or Snapchat...
    I have an email, a telephone number and a home address.

    That must be enough no?

    • I mean people are entitled or whatever to an opinion. But in an age with so much information it seems most chose to be ignorant.oey
    • Most of it is either a repost or, like you said, someone whining about something. I just go there to see if I've missed something elsewhere, then log back out.Maaku
    • what i also find crazy is people making fun of others. like people that don't talk properly or people that can't write or something. everybody has a story.oey
    • and nobody knows what happened in this person's life but still...the well educated and privileged making fun of the poor and uneducated.oey
    • My sister posts loads of bullshit conspiracy nonsense and it's only fuelled by other people who follow her.Ianbolton
    • Then my mum just shows me bullshit videos when I go see her. I've not been on it for 5 years now!Ianbolton
    • What took you so long?!Ianbolton
    • Living 2000 Km from my Mum and she just got on FB three years ago...oey
    • yeah I thought about it too. I only see surreal memes, squatting slavs and commie memes there and some unfunny minion stuff old people link themselves on.mekk
    • Curate your feed, unfollow people, click nothing, use it for events/calendars and groups. it has its place if you know what you want to use it for... or not.cotton
    • thanks for the downvote whoever!oey
    • Welcome to being old.BonSeff
    • I quite in September last year, dont miss it at all!slappy
    • I just use it as newsfeed: All the advertisingpages, some design, some news, some comedy. I barely see stupid stuff posted by "friends".Longcopylover
    • Seems the algorithm is working for me since I never click anything. And what I don't see I don't miss.Longcopylover
    • ^ Is the point of facebook now avoiding its shit by not using its features?mekk
