[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I quit Facebook a couple of years ago after it became clear the company was not at all concerned about the extremism and disinformation it was promoting. Deactivated and deleted and haven't looked back. I don't get to see updates from people I wouldn't otherwise be in touch with but I don't miss that. If anything it's allowed me to focus on myself and my own happiness, not keeping up any particular lifestyle or appearances.[/quote]

I quit almost 3 years ago for the same reason. Zuckerberg is a terrible person and Facebook is a terrible company that is actively undermining our democratic processes. I quit in January 2018 and never looked back. I read somewhere that it's worse for FB's stats if you're an inactive rather than a deactivated customer (no idea if that's really true), so I left my profile up but haven't been back. Honestly, after a couple of weeks I didn't miss it at all. I do miss the regular contact with a couple of people, but c'est la vie.

I also do not belong to Instagram, which I actually do regret some because there are some artists/ designers whom I'd like to follow, but so far I've held firm. Zuckerberg can go f*@$ himself. [/quote]
