Facebook, once was a platform to connect with friends and share stories...should we go back and use it as it was ..?

FB isn't the problem, the people on it are.


I deleted my account three months ago and haven't looked back. I couldn't stand that you see one side of people on FB, then you maybe see that person a few days later and find out what they posted was basically a cover story. Ya know, the ones that want you to think their life is amazing, but turns out, it is not. What is the necessity to create such a facade? Don't care. But realized I couldn't stand it and almost 75% of my "Friends" were doing it. (I say "friends" because they were mostly co-workers, family, and long lost, never really going to see again-friends).



Let's not get started with that no matter how much I managed to block every single game and every fake news source, a new one would pop up almost daily because of that one friend that can't tell the difference between fake and real news.

I do miss trolling the comments to see people get all wired up over nonsense, though.



I've managed to read more books since I left FB though, so that's been nice. Totally recommend it.



Myspace died at one point, and facebook will too. Only a matter of time before a third one comes out.

Never joined FB. No interest in how they evolve.

You're certainly free to do that. So is everyone else. I'm not seeing the controversy.
