I don’t like this thought process for all the reasons I listed above. I hate Facebook, but I have friends who either appreciate it or need it for things like work.
But even if you consider all Facebook users to be inferior by nature, this blocking won’t stop on Facebook. If it works, why would it?

honestly no excuse to be on it. I remember years and years ago when I left FB people kept saying “how will you stay in touch with your parents? family? etc” and i’m like “uh I have this device called a phone. ya see I input 10 numbers into it and it allows me to talk to my parents and family whenever I want. there’s also this new fangled thing called email.”
Plus my Mom is the only person I know that still uses it. My Dad was never into it and I have easier time rolling into the IRC chat rooms he frequents to get in touch than anything else. which usually means logging into a Slackware IRC room or the TechTV room he made hoping other former TechTV viewers will show up. but that’s a story for another time.
