Facebook Friends Friday

Just an announcement that I am deleting my Facebook account. Most of my family is off now and they, along with my friends, know how to reach me. I have an Instagram account and a Twitter account which will be deleted, too. It was an easy decision to make, but I wanted to give you a heads up. And the decision is all mine. I wasn’t blocked for life.

I have been thinking about it for a long time. It’s a waste of my time. It’s either that or MyLot.

I’ve deleted my app from my phone and I don’t spend much time over there anymore. I even stopped posting a song a day. I don’t need the toxicity and the drama of people literally hating their own family members because of who they did or didn’t vote for.

That I don’t get. My friends are all wonderful, but I never visit them on Facebook anymore. Most text me or pick up the phone. Just took a call 30 minutes ago.

I just opened a FB account last week and am enjoying it. I'm meeting like-minded people who are trying to eat a healthier way. We'll see you on myLot!

That depends on where the other party lives, if they're overseas then it really is the cheapest way @Aquitaine24 A lot of my veteran friends with kids in the military use it for that reason.

@DianneN I have accounts on all these social networks but I don’t remember when I was active.. Especially on fb, he became impossibly boring to me.. I hear that more and more people are deleting their accounts, but realistically, what can be read smartly there, only someone can annoy you ..

@DianneN I didn't even think of friends, but of various groups, friends of my friends, it all pops up on the Home Page and then I read all sorts of nonsense.

I noticed a lot of people were doing that! Although I don't post there, I still lurk . . . I'm keeping mine so I can continue to snoop around . It has been helpful though in seeing friends' behaviors during this pandemic - I can't believe the photos I see. And then of course the political divide - can't stand the hate. I might delete one day, but just not yet. I know I can find you here .

@DianneN You are fortunate! I'd have to say most are like minded, but politically speaking maybe about 25% of them still support the ol' banned one . I take no part in politics on FB, but I will still read about all sides. Any particular reason why you are leaving it?

There is no political divide on my feed. My friends are like-minded. Snooping!. You are a riot. No need for me to be on.

@much2say Mostly because my DIL is not on it. She’s on Snapchat. I get emails when she posts things about the kids. Otherwise, I am fed up with all the shares after shares, babies, birthday notifications, all the holiday greetings from everyone, recipes, travel, etc. which are getting old and boring. If I devoted my time, I would be there all day and night. I could remove 500 followers and still be there for hours. I’m done and just don’t care anymore.

I would call that a wise and insightful decision. They bring a lot of unnecessary things in life. I am on FB and Twitter. But I hardly visit there. I keep them because some of blogging challenges in India need you to log in through your social media platforms.

@DianneN I suppose it is a good way to stay in touch with people, but it can get too big and impersonal. I know somebody who gets friends requests from people he does not even know.

I personally think Facebook is fine as long as you don’t use your phone for it.Just use a computer. You don’t need phone alerts of someone liking something.You can read it like you read anything else on a computer.
