Anyone else done it, doing it? Not as easy as it seems, once you are enmeshed in its system.
I just assumed that sort of thing was the norm, so never opened an account. I've noticed among other users, a generally unhealthy pattern of being contacted by long lost "friends" who in all liklihood were long lost for a reason. And then follows, the uncomfortable "un-friend"ing process. Nah, don't need it!because I was "stalked" by an ex-girlfriend on there and that had to be stopped.
From what I've heard, it already is. Now we're well along into the next one - the "internet of things", which is the way your toaster and dishwasher and thermostat and microwave are gathering information on us and sending them to... Google probably, but who knows? Maybe Assange?the internet ruins everything. I can't wait until the fad is over

I did all that, John. Interestingly I find family to be just fine, but one cousin tended to make everything about him... so I unfollowed everyone, in the end. What I detest about facebook is that its actually a barrier to real connections. I'd rather communicate by email. Or even on forums like this, where there can be discussion. Facebook doesnt even really encourage discussion because your stuff (or someone elses) is gone before the day's half over. Scrolled off the page. Disappeared. And NOBODY looks in people's timelines. If its not in the newsfeed, it doesnt exist. Thats just a huge crock.
School REunions UGH. I almost committed to go to one later this year. FIFTY YEARS. Yikes. I dont particularly want them all to see how decrepit I have become, and TBH I dont have much in common with them anyway.I do see that Facebook can have a good purpose for some of us. It's just that it didn't fit me. Then again, I never go to school reunions either.
