  6 weeks? I thought everyone left that dumpster fire 8 years ago

    Nope.

    It’s a shame they didn’t.

      My municipality is posting important information on there, I cannot leave yet. I’ve sent a complaint but “everyone uses it”.

    Thats about when I dropped FB for the second time for the last time… I was dating a girl that didn’t believe I didnt have a FB, my dumbass makes a new one and it was pure misery like the last go. I can’t imagine how bad it is now…

  Deactivating is for wafflers. Delete that shit, burn the crops, and salt the earth in your wake.

  • FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    It’s really not.

    You’re still starving the beast. Deactivating just leaves the people who know me an outlet to get in touch if needed.

      I told myself that… And then would reactivate and spend a day or two falling back in. Like a shitty relationship. Eventually, I had to cut the cord entirely.

        Sometimes that’s the best way to go. For me, deactivating’s been fine. I like Mastodon and Lemmy way more.

  It’s how I stay updated on events mostly. Even if a decent alternative existed it would take a long time to get many of my friends and family to move, not to mention some of the groups.

    Understable. Requires more legwork without it, but I don’t mind that for the mental health tradeoff.

  I was banned from FB years ago, they did me a favor

  I need it to contact like 90% of the people I talk to

    Are all your friends American retirees?

  • FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Not necessarily. You can deactivate FB and still keep your contacts to use in Messenger.

  You are still looking at a Facebook post. You simply found a way to feel superior to the people who do it on Facebook.

  source

  • FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    It’s not a superiority thing.

    As much as I dislike FB, it unfortunately still has a lot of use for most people. I get that.
