I Quit!

vineyard12

Facebook, that is. Yesterday I decided to deactivate my account. I was so sick of scrolling through and finding nothing but stupid sh!t. FB used to be a fun way to find old friends, keep up with them, etc. But this past year, I have no idea what it's become. This is what I see:

Don't let life get you down! (inspirational memes)

Guns! Ban them! Don't ban them! My second Amendment rights! etc.

Democrats suck!

No Republicans suck!

Owls! Lots and lots of friggin owls! (I have a friend who is obsessed with owls. Theyre cute and all, but enough already!)

Okay, well, you get the idea. I just got tired of it. And now the "suggested ads" thing. I don't care about any damn ads. If I want something, that's what Google is for. I already had unfriended the people who complain all the time and cry that life sucks. Sorry it sucks, but things aren't going to change unless YOU do something about it. And then there's the person I think is a hypochondriac. Every week there's something new that ails her. Like yesterday, she posts a picture of her hand and asks people what it could be "I narrowed it down to..." And everyone gives their opinion. I said "don't self diagnose. Just go to the doctor!" Seriously.

Vent over. Maybe.

I don't blame you!

I have a "friend" who posts every day, with at least 10 pics of what she's having for dinner...from food prep to plate, and nothing she makes looks good at all! She also posts 15-20pics DAILY of her kids, and the pics are terri

I'm right there with you!  I gave it up for lent and have not reactivated yet.  I now will look at DHs when he is on it or he will share things with me off of it, but I have to say I don't miss it!  I do miss things my family posts, but I m

I gave up Facebook for Lent and at first I kind of missed it but now that Lent is over, I find that I don't really care to check it even though I 'can'. To be honest, I don't care about all the dumb stuff everyone is doing in their day-to-day lives.

I agree with pretty much everything that has been said previously =]  I have hidden a LOT of people from my news feed, but I still agree....90% of it is re-posted garbage.  I hardly ever post at this point anyways.  I know I'm totally ge

Good for you! I tried that (way back when), but I have too many good friends who are out of town and its just the easiest way to stay in touch (plus businesswise our FB is a crucial marketing tool). FYI you CAN individually change what updates you get fro
