Do you really need a Facebook to live in today’s world?
« on: January 18, 2018, 04:42:15 AM »
I haven’t had one for almost 4 years, life hasn’t changed except that I don’t have to see what people are bitching or complaining about. Is it necessary to have one?

Same here. Life has been grand without it, and all other social media for that matter. Joining SLAP sometimes reminds me why I focused all of them.

No. Not at all. Facebook free for at least five years now. Real friends call.

No FB for about 4 years, and I only had it for about 2. A waste of time.

I was one of those dudes who told my "friends," "if you need me, holler, i'm deleting this for a while."
that was in 2013, and no one has called since. I had over 500 friends at one time, that's still a lot to me.
I got beef with Brian sumner and it’s onsite for that fat fucking red coat.

If you don't have social media, you better be the person who calls and texts your friends if you want to maintain those relationships. Don't expect your friends to do anything extra to get ahold of you when they all use social media as their main source of communication.

I went gost for a few years and my friendships suffered because I didn't do a good job communicating with my friends. I started going back on last year and I honestly think that as long as you have a decent outlook on what social media is and what is a healthy way of using it, you're fine. For the most part, you're in control of what you see and what you share. See a lot of stuff you don't want to see? Unfollow and unfriend. That's all it takes. I find that even some mundane online chit chat with friends is still enough to let them you know still care about them.

I think 2010 was the last time I logged on to facebook. The last interaction I had was with a girl I went to highschool with who became a suicide girl. She was nice.


Instagram is a good platform for artists so that's my go-to but that's basically it. I can't imagine the amount of time wasted these days with every app out there.

This is pretty much the major benefit of Facebook...using it for dating apps. Anyways, you can sign up for Tinder with your phone number, if you really want.

Honestly, life is so much easier without social media and picking up women from Gus’ or Whole Foods.

No. I deactivated my account a couple years ago and I don't regret it one bit. You find a way to stay in touch with people that matter to you and vice versa. I need to log back in and download all the data and permanently delete it, but I've been putting that off.

I'm pretty sure facebook is mostly for old people to laugh at minion memes these days and complain about the nfl, so no I don't think a facebook is necessary to live in today's world. Stuff like snapchat or twitter are more necessary to keep up friendships through social media, but still superfluous if it doesn't interest you. Just don't have friends and everything is ezpz.

I deleted my account years ago and now I really miss finding out what people I can hardly stand are thinking and/or eating at any given moment.

7 years in the wind and love not knowing shit about what people I don't really care for are boasting about. Now if I overhear a conversation about what's going on on FB I just cringe and pat myself on the back for leaving.

Its been 7 years since I've had one.  I personally don't like how it turned our world into a "look at me and how great my life is" society.  People craving for attention by "taking a stand" on topics that have nothing to do with them, or commenting on stuff that's none of their business.  Privacy is none existent anymore and people are always airing out their drama for everyone to see. It especially got weird when I started seeing all my friends parents on it. 

Sure it has its benefits, but its so cheap when people say "oh but you can keep in touch with everyone you went to high school with,"  as if they can't think of any other good reason to have it.  It's no wonder why people never let go of grudges or move on from anything anymore.  Now Trump the "tweeter in chief" is president.  Everything is fucked.

I started highschool around the time myspace got big, and started college around the same time facebook got popular. The whole idea of blasting my personal life on the internet seemed incomprehensible to me then and still does. I'm one of very few people my age who has NEVER had any of this trendy shit. I often get people I barely know come up to me saying "why don't you have facebook?" Why you lurking on me fucko?

Nowadays whenever someone, applies for a job, starts a relationship, is accused of a crime, meets someone for the first time, etc etc. the fist thing everyone does is scour their social media. Why the fuck would I want random people lurking on my private life? Now you got people fucking up their entire lives because of one drunken post or a lapse in judgement that got captured by social media for the world to see. What rational person thinks this is a good idea?

I probably should have edited out the name but I'm sure that dude won't mind because he constantly seeking for some type of attention on facebook. If that goes against the guidelines, mode feel free to delete

I got it, but no internet and no phone, which is close to the same thing.
