Yeah just seems like common sense to me

I’m guessing some of these folks have a lot of trashy low IQ friends and family on their FB feed. It’s easy to change that.

Never joined either. The more time you spend on social media the less intelligent you become.

See, I'm pretty much the opposite. I never delete anyone or ignore them. I read their stuff. I never ever respond. But I let them vent. Know what? When I'm w them we don't even talk politics. Just organically what we do. Drink beer, drive backroads and fart around in our barns

I haven't logged into my Facebook account in over four years and have never joined Twitter. My mother, age 70, is constantly on Facebook in search of something to be afraid of or angry about. It seems to be mostly for old folks now, though I do have friends my age who still frequent it. Facebook was fun back in the day when it was mostly friends cracking wise about popular culture and their everyday lives. I jumped ship not long after Trump was elected and everything went political all the time.

I had a few too many beers and trolled my lefty sister pretty hard when she at the pussy hat march with my then like 12-13 year old niece

I love my sister very much but we just can't talk politics. I think I deleted FB shortly after that.

Never had either. The older I get, the less I want anyone to know my business. My true friends know what’s going on with me. We speak on the phone regularly. Facebook has ruined the definition of what a friend is.

Exactly why I do not have Twitter, InstG, TT, etc and have deleted my FB account.

I muted eveyone who posts about politics so my newsfeed is pretty quiet.

Twitter is dead. It also seems everyone has changed the messages to Signal. That’s all I’ve noticed.

Easy to get in but a bitch to get completely out. I’m done with it all.

I have never had Twitter, so I don't know who has it. I only use FB for my casino slot games and my neighborhood reports. My neighborhood may be switching to MeWe. I am also in a few bbq/smoking groups on FB, but I am slowly switching to other groups on MeWe.

I keep FB for 3 reasons:

- easiest way to keep in touch with friends/family

Why not just have their phone numbers and keep in touch via a text?

I never understood Twitter and why people liked it.

Circa 2008-2012, FB was quite entertaining. It just wore off.

Are they threatening you with physical harm if you don’t comply with their demands? Are they harassing you in public, getting in your face?

Depends.

Are they liberal or not? None of my remotely center or conservative leaning friends are on Facebook or Twitter
