Anybody use Facebook?

Also, congrats on avoiding FB for so long and telling us about it.
Love you edgy-types.

That's a lot of tough-guy speak for a guy who only uses FB to post pics of his feet and brag about how far he's run that day

I just went to "Like" this post and got so confused.

Deleted my account this week. Feels really good. Needed a break.

I disabled mine and lasted a lot longer than I thought I would... like 2 months or something.

Not sure why I ever reactivated it. Not having Facebook actually affected my day/mood more than one might think (in a very good way).

So I'm super troubled that Facebook has become a tool for propaganda and literal fake news (not Trump-style off-brand news reports).

This Times article spells it all out nicely:

I guess I could delete my account in protest, but I'd rather figure out how to actively block their ads, are there any technology solutions to fuck them up?

I guess Apple is taking steps to prevent some of the tracking which allows Facebook to target people specifically...

It's just depressing that this technology which could have been used to bring people together is being hijacked because it had to be profitable...

I'm literally only on FB to keep up with friends across the country and The Phellowship  page  (sober phish people). Otherwise I wouldn't have one.

Other than that, the politics are annoying, the ads are brutal and the memes are stale and stolen. I'm not a fan of FB
