Is this for real? Do friends and family really freak out if you quit Fakebooking?
the author is a stupid bunny.
One cannot delete one’s stuff from Facebook
It is all there waiting for you to restart it.
It never goes away
Don’t quit -Join! Create new totally fake fictitious FB accounts, lie about everything! If enough people did this and advertisers realized they were wasting money because the FB database was polluted with fake accounts, it would ruin Facebooks business model.
I am on Facebook for one reason.....to be able to keep in contact with friends and relatives who live far away. I ignore political posts and don’t open any games, etc. I know Facebook is bad, but I would be so sad to lose my many connections around the globe.
If “friends” break up wit you because you left Facebook - they were really never your friends.
What kind of a person doesn’t have a Facebook account?
ME!!
It will be a "teachable moment" for them.
(And Google is no doubt watching with a worried eye. If the FTC can come down on Facebook and possibly threaten it with a breakup per antitrust laws, Google's own neck is on the block.)
“Do friends and family really freak out if you quit Fakebooking?”
Most of our relatives and friends text and email and don’t FB.
One female in law in her mid 50’s is so addicted to FB, she can’t leave her Apple phone, watch or I pad off more than an hour.
I rarely post anything. Mostly where I am attending church and the sermon topic. My joy comes from hammering people who post political stuff. The rest of the time is spent hiding sources that are liberal or mention missing dogs or people.
I have found that you can say things like “Hide anything from HuffPo” but eventually, it will burn through anyway and you won’t be able to hide it.
Thanks for your post. I too have never had a Facebook account. I value my privacy too much.
And yes, I’m enjoying a certain amount of schadenfreude over Facebook’s troubles. Zuckerberg is a nasty little brat and it’s pleasant contemplating him losing his fortune.
I have no profile photo, no Friends, no Timeline, no About, no Photos, no nothing. All of my privacy settings are set to keep people out.
Facebook, nor anybody else, has ever contacted me or wondered what was wrong, since I don't actively use the site.
It's like hiding in plain sight.
Just call your friends and let them know that you are stepping away from social networks.
An enduringly effective way to keep track of former lovers.

In a word, “yes”. I deleted my first account after allowing myself to get sucked into a running political argument with a friend who had strong leftist opinions that she felt compelled to share. I got disgusted & closed my account for a few months. After I set ground-rules for myself I rejoined. Far fewer ‘friends’ this time. Had the small pleasure of refusing a friend-request from that individual. I heard that she posted a rant about that. Hehe!
