I had to deactivate my Facebook for 24 hours as part of a study. Even though, I am not really enjoying it much anymore..I go there to play WWF and it is hard not to go on to the site, force of habit. I hope I don't forget..The study is sort of to gauge your addiction to the site. Also, an interesting component is how much it would cost for you to delete the site for 4 weeks.(They would pay you to do so) Actually, to be honest..not that crazy about FB, I am afraid if I didn't go there though and at least check it once or twice daily I would miss something important. I actually sort of wish I could delete FB permanently because most of it is BS. What say you?

I don't see myself closing it permananetly, but if I could limit myself to 5 minutes in the AM and at night..that would do me fine. I am tired of the same people posting the same kinds of things, over and over.

@snowy22315 FB has become a boring site where you can only find fake news.

@LadyDuck I don't really look at the news there, but I am sick of my cousins constantly posting their babble..and all the political stuff..is getting really old. I would enjoy deleting it permanently but from time to time there is something funny or useful on there.

People can be so judgemental and mean on Facebook that I really don't like it as much as when I joined 10+ years ago. Wow saying that much time has passed seems crazy but it's true. I like looking for local events to go to so that's a big part of what I do on there. I usually post a photo on Instagram and share it to Facebook but otherwise I don't write to many posts as people are just itching to start fights.

@snowy22315 agreed! I try to avoid any of that. Sometimes people are so rotten I have to chime in with my opinion to stick up for the person who is bent bullied. That pulls me in and stresses me out so I try to limit my time spent at Facebook and to unfollow people who post things all the time that upset me.

It has its uses but most of the time I find it annoying. I hate the way people fight on there.

If the pay was good enough, I know I could do it 
.
There was a time when I was totally into FB and I didn't want to miss a thing . . . so I'd be on it constantly. But now I'm over it . . . I rarely post anymore . . . although I admittedly check it daily still (just for a few minutes - not hours like before). The thing is I don't want to delete my account for good. FB is a love/hate kinda thing.

@snowy22315 These days there are days that I totally do not go on FB - it's very doable. So are you going to go for the 4 weeks without?

@much2say I would have but apparently they weren't seriously offering it. Just wanted to get an idea of how much money it would take to go without.

Hmm... Oh, where did you find this study? I would LOVE to do it. I mean, it might drive me a little bit crazy but I think at the end of the day it's better for me NOT to have it.

Facebook is actually a good place to be connected with people we know. If you don't have important matters to do with FB then to delete it is not a bad decision.
