I think I'm gonna wind up in facebook jail....

Once upon a time I let the extended family talk me into getting a Facebook account. I rarely used it. Then somebody hacked my account and used it to spread a virus. I immediately deleted my account and have never gone back. I refuse to be held responsible for what some other miscreant does.
 
I don’t book, face, twit, x, nor gram. I’ll join a forum or two for specific interests, and that’s about it.

The internet makes it too easy for folks to display ignorance and bad manners.
 
I don't log into FaceBook, or post enough of my opinions on FaceBook to get dinged by their censorship machine.

As a social media platform, FaceBook is just an easy & convenient way for me to keep tabs on what my geographically-scattered family are doing.

It works quite well for me for that VERY specific purpose. I have no interest in using the platform for anything more than that.

FWIW: Only 11.5% of Americans smoke. Not much need for ashtrays. I used to keep quarters there for tolls but they're all electronic now.

Not much use for quarters anymore it seems . The other day my wife wanted to wash a large comforter so she decided to go to a brand new laundromat not too far away . She said that all of the machines are connected to a main kiosk where you pay by card and enter the washer or dryer number . She said it worked well .
Even the parking meters downtown are electronic pay now .
 
My only FB friends are my wife and my sister, and I'm only on there so my sis and I can share funny stuff. We're on the same page, politically speaking, so we text political memes all the time.
 
FB - I had an account when it first came out. Then all the people I didn't like or want anything to do with started sending friend requests, so I decided to delete my account. Guess what - no deleting all you can do is deactivate it. I still get reminders to reactivate the account. The only good thing I have heard about it is the marketplace is a nice platform to sell or buy used items, still not enough of a motivator to get me back on.

Caj, my dad used to lament about how smokers treat the world as their ashtray, which to some extent is true.
 
Never been on or had a FB account. Although I do look around on marketplace sometimes. My buddies wife once told me how many friends she had on fb. I asked how many of them would help her move a refrigerator on Saturday morning? No reply. I said I guess they’re not really friends then.
 
I don’t nave a Facebook account - never have. Also no Tik Tok, X, Instagram, Snapchat, Linkedin, Pinterest, Truth Social or anything else. Makes life much more harmonious.
 
facebook seems to have gone from face book jail, to just overwhelming ya with ads. Occasionally they attempt to fact check me, which usually gets blown right back at them as their "factcheckers" are just political hacks.
 
I'm banned for life. I know why, too and am not apologizing.
I consider it one of my greatest accomplishments and am proud of it!

Because someone has to tell the emperor he has no clothes.
