LikeImmolation 09/05/20 2:22:54 PM #3:	All I use is Facebook. If you're on Twitter, yes it is worth it to get off.

Hexenherz 09/05/20 2:24:50 PM #5:	I gave up on Facebook two years ago but I only used it to post memes anyway. I hated only getting updates from like four people and a million Onion articles because I liked the page. I couldn't tell if people had stopped using it, stopped including me in their feeds or if the algorithm was just selectively showing me shit. Plus their data breaches, data collection through Messenger, Cambridge Analytica... I wouldn't say I miss it. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) \| RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting/RC https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:944246375] in Those who ...

Heavy_D_Forever 09/05/20 4:54:22 PM #10:	Surprisingly I just never started using FB. Had Twitter for work but barely used it. Never touched Insta or Tik Tok. My g/f has everything and is constantly on it so I just hear all about it from her. She is 8 years younger than me tho so it makes sense. --- E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES <cite>Heavy_D_Forever posted [p:944251141] in Those who ...

yemmy 09/05/20 5:03:47 PM #12:	Im prob about to buy a flip phone and sell this one because it is counterproductive. Even being on here or reddit is counterproductive. Coloradough posted... Why would I want to hear random thoughts from celebrities Well the thing about twitter is that you pick who you follow. I have more fun on Twitter than any of them because I follow comedians and satirists. I follow dogs and hot chicks and cool gun dudes on Instagram. Facebook is the only social media that is completely infiltrated by boomers and hood rats. --- p226 <cite>yemmy posted [p:944251481] in Those who ...

Coloradough 09/05/20 6:42:53 PM #13:	I did it, deleted my facebook and made a skeleton account to sell things I think I'll do the same with instagram and just keep my closest 10 friends and mom as followers so they can see my photos At one point I had 7k followers on instagram, which is all mountain climbing pictures, but I deleted that account and made a "friends only" one. Insta never sat well with me as I find it's based on making other people feel bad about themselves -- you're not as cool as me, your day is boring, my life is great... --- Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, even to those who are perverse - The Holy Bible <cite>Coloradough posted [p:944254839] in Those who ...
