Ive been hearing in the news a lot of people are quiting Facebook. It really surprizes me. Is the Human Herd waking up to the Truth?

Pretty much everyone's excuse is along those lines. I need it for rehearsals, or audition notices, or networking, or for your hobby or work. Etc..

There's no mass awakening, most of them are just moving to Instagram, which is the same evil empire with a different skin. The cookies are interchangeable, the tracking is the same.

I created a completely fake account just for that, just grab some details and ticket links off there a few times a year.

Can't disagree with anything you've said. But fb got me hooked at a young age that it's filled with nostalgia and my only connection with people here and gone. Might sound weird, but I like to see my dead mother's friend request still pending, I hated the woman, but I can't explain the emotions involved in keeping it pending and seeing it constantly.

A sickening thing I've seen is prospective employers requesting access to your fb profile as if it's a reasonable screening measure (it's optional, but still, looks like you're hiding something)

I have facebook and only use it for concert info because I'm old and out of the loop. It's the only way I would have known to get tickets for Trey Pistachio's new band, Ghost's of the Forest.

I'm also in a Trials Dirt Bike selling group and a Leopard Tortoise group because I love looking a leopard tortoises!

I have no friends on there. Sometimes a new person I meet adds me. So I'm nice and I add them, but a week later I unfriend them.

I'm cheap when it comes to buying most frivolous things so I don't care if they try to sell me stuff. I'm not influenced by facebook/Russia political influence either.

Got a Facebook account when I started selling real estate. Didn't help with that at all. It did help me see what major assholes many of my "friends" were though. I remember these people from my younger years, some of them were pretty chill (I'm almost 57). Disappointing to see how many of them have become hyper-conservative assholes or religious fanatics. They're on Facebook looking for an echo chamber for their thinking. Anyone with different ideas is either stupid or evil in their minds. So glad I quit Facebook.

I quit using Facebook back last year. Left it for a month and came back. Same people posting the same shit being argued over by more of the same people using the same arguments.

Their algorithm is designed to build your echo chamber and keep it strong. You don't get to see all of your friends' posts, only the ones they think you might like. It's all about eyeballs on ads, not connecting the world. I still go on, 1) because I manage a group and 2) because I'm in another group that buys chicken food at wholesale and saves me about $200/year. (I know, just a junkie's excuse...)

Before I (mostly) dropped it I ran an experiment and unfollowed all my friends. FB didn't have a clue how to handle that. Kept just getting random ads and nothing else (but, since the algorithm has some kind of built in ad:posts ratio built in, some days it just didn't know what to do).

If Zuck and Co. had kept their promises about what Facebook was to be and not just mining data I would spend $200/year as a subscription. But the problem is that the paltry 200-300 million people who would also have done so pale in comparison to the billions of others who can't or don't want to. In some places around the world, Myanmar, Bangldesh, India, Facebook is basically the internet. That's where the growth market is and why FB is ignoring all calls for its reformation as it stares at an even bigger pile of money to be made outside of the West.

Good for you.  Massive waste of time.  Oh wait, I got a message!  My friend that moved to Oregon is going to a coffee shop!  I get its uses but I don't use it for anything anymore. Plus Zuck seems like a complete robotic asshole but that is just like my opinion, man.

Also took a month and a half break from the Shroomery.  Sometimes it is just good to take a break from electronics to me and social media in all its forms.  One becomes more aware how much of it is just complete garbage.
