You will soon wonder what you ever saw in it.
Yeah, I actually haven't gotten the slightest buyer's remorse yet. I thought I might feel a pang of regret. Still waiting for it, but it may never come.
I see it mainly as universal email and easy contact with most people in my circle.
This is why I kept mine around for a while too. However, I decided if any real friends wanted to actually contact me to hang out or talk, there are still phones, text messages, and email. Plus I think that the quality of communication on Facebook has deteriorated a lot. I feel like everyone posts as though they are a mini-celebrity, curating their posts, images and tags to craft a sparkling online version of themselves. Authenticity is gone.
I started using Facebook in '07 in college. At that time, you could only get an account if you had a .edu email address. So it was just fellow classmates on there connecting within the same university. It was kind of fun, and actually pretty useful. If you met a bunch of people, you could connect online and remember people's names etc. I even used it for group projects in class. And we could all comment on the most recent football game etc. I think it was somewhere around '09 we all started realizing that FB was getting scrutinized by employers and some kids weren't getting jobs due to their party pictures, etc. That's when the profile whitewashing occurred. Now I just can't find a really good reason to stay.
If I delete my FB I will just waste double time here........:)
Haha, yeah probably true. But at least this is an authentic community where pretense is dropped. We're all here so we can talk about stuff the general public doesn't want to hear about.
I simply keep up to date with families that are in different countries
I have the same issue. My brother is in Indonesia right now for an extended stint. We talked via WhatsApp and he posts pictures to Instagram for us to see.
What is Facebook?
Lol
