I quit Facebook because it was just a constant churn of lies. The last straw, for me, were the lies about what was happening in WNC after Helene. I couldn't stand to see all these morons parroting bald-faced lies. Claims like 1 in 8 people were killed by the hurricane. Total bullshit. I quit Facebook for good on Jan 2, 2025.

What did you in?

I probably should have been off Twitter years ago since I get basically no replies unless I'm telling a Trump voter to piss off

muting elon musk helped a lot with that though, and I still appreciate the 18+ side of twitter enough to not give it up completely

I've been dabbling back into Facebook but am considering deactivating, as no one from high school talks to me anymore and I guess anyone I care to contact has my phone number or some other social media

this was a long way to say that nothing has finally done me in, but it probably should have

I shouldn't do that but, like, shut the fuck up, Gladys

The role social media disinformation campaigns played in the 2016 election of Donald Trump and subsequent documentaries which helped expose this and the other general harms.

Snewf, did you just quit (stop logging in), or did you delete your account entirely? I encourage you to save your data (if you want to), and delete your account. Don't be a participant at all. You are the product. Check out for good. They will try to stop you so many times. I think the process takes like 3 months before they finally (supposedly) delete it.

I uninstalled the app and haven't logged back in.

I'm waiting until Trump dies so I can post "ELON DID IT." over and over. Then I'll delete my account.

I had to get back on Facebook for work reasons

it looks like they’ve automated people wishing you Happy Birthday with just one click

more than half of my birthday wishes are the exact same “ Enjoy your birthday, Justin!” with the same 3 emojis

it’s a very, very minor thing, but it’s still a bit dystopian

It's the greatest medical invention in 100 years and I can't wait to give it to my newborn. Safety first!
