Have you ever just deactivated your social media account?

A few people I have spoke with recently said it was one of the best decisions they have ever made.

FB nowadays is just depressing and I tend to agree.

A. I lock everything down anyways. You can't see shite besides my profile photo. Nor do I look at it ever. I just have it for my 2,000 photos and snoop on other people. I can't remember the last time I read my facebook "wall" or stream.

B. If I'm interviewing for a job, I temporarily still inactivate my facebook and then reactivate it when the process is over. Just in case.

You won't regret getting off Facebook.

I deactivated Facebook 3 years ago and I haven't looked back since. There was way too much shite on there then so I can only imagine how bad it is now. TD is the only form of social media in which I'm currently participating and will probably be the last.

I haven't had Facebook in 4 or 5 years. I never got on it, therefore I just deactivated it completely. I never started Twitter, Instagram, Vine, etc. accounts as well. Social media just isn't my interest. I'm also the guy who routinely goes out and leaves my cell phone at home on purpose.

Got rid of my FB 3 years ago. Best decision I've ever made I think. Once my mom and aunts got on I realized it's time for me to check out.

Just don't be that person that makes this overly dramatic fb post about why they are deleting their fb account.



Then re activate it like 2 weeks later.

I was at my grandparents' house a few weeks ago and my aunt was installing the facebook app on my grandma's phone. She doesn't even know how to call or text someone and she has a fricking facebook account now.

Many times the only reason why those women are on FB is to be able to see pics of their grandkids/families that don't live near them.

Those are the worst.

I visit my FB account about once a month or so. It's been years since I posted anything on it.

Deleted facebook years ago...I've missed out on some bday parties and baby showers of people who are facebook dependent but have never regretted dropping it. I wasted too much time when I was on it.

Agree with poster who said to not give a "farewell post"...those are just

Much easier to upload lots of pics in actual fb albums that can be organized than to email them all out.
