Deleted facebook from my phone!

[Cerveza mas fina]

Like if you agree 

But will I ever be able to quit FB for realz?

Anyone here done anything like this?

[Cerveza mas fina]

You guys know its nice to use when you live abroad and stay in touch with the family, but I have added waaaaaay too much people.

Will have to figure somehting out for that, maybe old fashioned e-mail.

What is Line?

[ToxicAdam]

Maybe you could just make a dummy account and notify your family to add that one and communicate with you through that.

[Himu]

I like twitter a lot but something's stopping me from replacing fb with it, I dunno

[Squiddy]

Himuro-thread.

[Phoenix Dark]

I might log on once every three or four days. But I use twitter daily for news, sports, snark, etc although I don't actually tweet much.

Thats nifty

[demi]

if you have to make a dummy account, youre addicted to facebook. why do you let the lives of strangers control you

delete them, and move the fuck on

You'll be back.

Need Facebook to use tinder

[Tasty]

I make a post a day, and it's always a post I know will get at least a few likes. So I visit twice a day, once to make the post, and once to check back and see who liked it.

I'm more of an attention whore than Wrath, sadly.

For a while I just posted whatever on Facebook, but I slowly started posting more and more of my "zero-like posts" on Twitter. I still don't get much interaction from them, but they're more likely to get a bite on Twitter due to who follows me.

[recursivelyenumerable]

Facebook has gotten incredibly spammy with notifications and newsfeed ads. I keep it on my phone, but I have notifications turned off, more or less never go directly to the news feed, and only ever see stuff via a few pinned tiles for a few people I care about.

[king of the internet]

I check facebook daily but mostly just because I have a boring computer job that allows me to kill time on the internet. I'm more into social networks like instagram or twitter that are focused on one thing rather than a clusterfuck of a million different things like FB. It almost feels kinda antiquated to me these days.

[ToxicAdam]

I think it's the opposite. It makes Facebook more efficient, so you can quickly check on the people you really care for.

But you still have your 'real' account so you can friend your second cousin, co-worker, second grade classmate without hurting any feelings.

[Van Cruncheon]

every time i decide to try twitter again i wind up getting revolted by the people on it -- even friends -- as everyone either uses it as a sort of global irc for narcissists, or as tryhard tryout for a comedy act that's only in their head. it fuckin' NUMBS me.

also, the shit even smart folks say on there is gonna haunt their lives and careers to the end of their days. it's an ongoing ink of idiot digital tattoos onto their online personal history.

[Brehvolution]

You'll be back.

[Tasty]

Don't care, I take full responsibility for the stupid shit I post on twitter.

Same.

Half my shit is retweets of Google and web dev stuff anyways. I'm also in my company's Twitter list so I know I got eyeballs on me.

[ToxicAdam]

their careers

1% percenter problems.

[recursivelyenumerable]

I love twitter. I must spend at least 20 hours a week there these days. I think windows should boot to a twitter feed.

Oh trust me, I know what I tweet isn't funny.

[Phoenix Dark]

Hence why my feed is full of nerdy sports stats, sports news, political news, Coli fuckery, music stuff, and the drunken ramblings of CajoleJuice.

Sometimes I see something on my feed like this and get a tad rustled, then I remember I'm following that person specifically for election tears every four years. Oh and because I like his football tweets...

[Fifstar]

Did this last year, now I read blogs with feedly when I'm on the shitter at work, much more productive use of time if you ask me.

[huckleberry]

I finally had to delete my Facebook account after exploding on a racist cunt who was a friend of my mother-in-law (another racist cunt). It took me about 5 minutes to realize that these fucktards wouldn't dream of saying that shit in real life to people but I was reacting exactly how I would in real life.

I fucking hate most people.

Not using it right. In fact, anyone who complains about their social media accounts isn't using them right. These platforms will only display what you tell them to.

You actually hate yourself.

[close]

 no shit. why do you think i don't use twitter

[Tasty]

[Eel O'Brian]

I use it to complain directly to Yoshida about shitty PSN speeds

Not liking people in general really helps with staying off facebook and twitter

I don't know, sometimes a true misanthrope needs to stoke the fires of their hatred. 

[Kara]

Twitter sends you these emails now showing the reach of your tweets and how many people saw your top 3 tweets. I LOVE knowing a couple of hundred people saw an effete, pseudo-Situationist hashtag jam I tweeted that consisted of some Byzantine historical reference.

[Diunx]

How you gonna keep up with the latest gossip?

[Eel O'Brian]

I like to think I've got a leg up on most facebook/twitter people in that I realize I have nothing of substance to say

I do hit the like button a lot, even if I don't particularly like the things I read, because I know it makes everyone feel good to get a like

[Human Snorenado]

I unfollowed everyone I'm friends with the other day. I'd delete my account if I didn't need it for work... my job is weird. I just have better shit to try and focus on right now other than social media whatever.

I liked this to make you feel good.

Pay it forward breh.

[Momo]

I dont even have facebook

[Van Cruncheon]

facebook is great for salacious gossip, which is frankly its ONLY raison d'etre

[Steve Contra]

And arguing with Republican manchildren

[Kara]

My sibling unfriended me on Facebook years ago when I got on their case about supporting waterboarding in a public forum. 

[Positive Touch]

most of my family still has me hid from years ago when i'd use it as a forum to say ignorant shit 

[Himu]

My cousin defriended me for trolling Linux.

[Brehvolution]

I haven't logged into fb in at least 2 years. The NSA probably thinks I'm dead.

[Tasty]

I unfollowed everyone I'm friends with the other day.

Wow, you unfollowed both of them?

[Kara]

My cousin defriended me for trolling Linux.

Andrex is your cousin? 

[Himu]

Haha naw. He's a software developer, and a disgruntled gen x'er. He's even defriended his brother - also my cousin, obviously. He also called the mother of his child a lot of bad names out of nowhere on the same status where his mother and sister were posting on. Just odd, odd behavior from him a lot of times. He's also in LA. I need ot rekindle our relationship and make sure he knows I was just joking. I know he's got a good heart. He bought me Heart of the Swarm just out of the blue.

Or what other people say about you.

Any newsfeed will do that.

[Your Stalker]

you should do that in the shape of an L

[Diunx]

Just got a mail from work and it sounds like HR is planning on doing an internal social site thing, yeah I'm gonna share my shit with my coworkers and bosses HR people 

[demi]

We attempted that here. It didnt go so well.

[Positive Touch]

my neighborhood has its own messageboard that i REALLY want to troll the shit out of; unfortunately it requires that you use your real name and address.

Use an anonymous mail service to apply for the message board, claiming that you are an exchange student who lived there years ago and would like to keep up on current events. Bonus Points: When trolling, claim that English is your second language, and apologize for offending people, then do it again. /borat

twitter is indeed basically global irc, tho

Why is this a bad thing

[recursivelyenumerable]

to me? it's not, hence why I'm on twitter all the time!

I'm pretty bad at it, btw. But enjoy it anyway.

[Himu]

How are you "bad" at it?

[recursivelyenumerable]

the 1% of my tweets that aren't just retweets are mostly inane bs. see for yourself: https://twitter.com/crossslide

[Shadow Mod]

Thought this shit was a gaf thread.

Get your social media shit together brehs.

[Yeti]

I don't like Facebook, haven't been on in over a year. Twitter is ok, I mostly use it as a news feed. Yammer is my favorite social network site.

[Van Cruncheon]

the shit 99% of you post on irc really shouldn't be seen/recorded by ANYONE

[Shadow Mod]

I just post my bins finds these days on everything.

 

[Eel O'Brian]

Twitter is like the internet version of condensed milk, only what's being condensed is piss, shit, and regrettable opinions
