Back >:D

Things got busy so I haven't frequented here for a while. I'm also permanently off Facebook so I'm feeling social.  :laugh:
Hi! It's good to see you back. I did notice you got quiet on Facebook.

Yes - it caused too much anxiety for me, so finally decided to go off for good.

The problem is that I now can't get in touch with a lot of people, but I don't see any other alternatives. I don't want to go back to that site just to do such a basic thing.

Yeah, Carla had enough as well.  She left FB a few months ago.  Amber is rarely on.  Yeah, its the idea of losing contact with friends that keeps me holding on to it.  Though I have been cutting back on my friends list, due to years of inactivity, etc.

There definitely are people I want to keep in touch with there, but I'm getting less and less out of it. Maybe I should justy leave.

A lot of shit Facebook is doing is another factor for leaving. Leaked documents admitting to political meddling (more or less), enabling the far right, not targeting hate speech etc. Facebook was even blatantly complicit in literal genocide in Myanmar. All for profit.

There's typical greasy tactics that you'd expect - the evil shit Facebook is part of is an order of magnitude worse than that. I happily pick and choose my battles, even see things as being necessary evils at times at the point of hypocrisy, but I can't be part of that website any longer.

I'd think it's the main reason to leave, tbh.

This is funny. I literally visited here today because I’m assessing whether fb needs to be in my life.

I had a boy (now ‘man’) from high school do some irritating things, and I just had an epiphany like, why do all these asses from high school have the right to have access to me? So yeah, I think I’m shutting it down too. It’s misleading and somewhat addictive.

Also, I think this guy is avenging the fact I ‘rejected’ him in high school.

Can you block him?  If not, due to the weirdness of FB, then FB isn't worth the stress.

Hopefully I'll be more present and active in my Empire with this return.  (Yeah, right)
