Failbook is a freaking evil thing!!

[kseenaa]

Beyond happy I don't have a Failbook account. Never had one, never will I get one. :-P

Facebook is evil? Yes.

And more about it.

And even more still!

All three well worth reading.

Ugh... I remember when everyone wanted you to have a Failbook. I got several emails a week from friends wanting me to join, especially my young LARP-friends. Until I told them to fucking stop sending me that shit! A little kinder maybe, but not much. They know me though, so they stopped it and are still friends of mine. :-)

I'm so glad I deleted my Facebook awhile back, it was a great burden of bullshit lifted off my shoulders. And now with all this crap going on, I'm even happier to not have one.

I keep meaning to post about it, but I bumped into a friend from high school a few weeks ago and she was all "OMG you should friend me on Facebook, I miss you!" and Tim was like "Oh, she deleted her Facebook" and the girl didn't know what the heck to do. I was like "I'm on everything else" and she said "I only have Facebook". So I offered to give her my phone number so she could text me, and then I also texted her my email address.

Nothing.

It's like "We should be friends on Facebook" means "I have a very casual interest in being reminded every now and then that you exist."

Never had a Failbook, and the more I read about Failbook, the happier I am about that fact.

And what you describe there is another of the reason I am beyond annoyed with Failbook. :-P Sometimes it's like if you don't have Failbook you don't exist! And that is just... so annoying.

Thank you for posting this. I couldn't agree more, and yes, I too am so much happier and healthier since I deleted my Facebook.

Failbook! ARGH! I hate it so much. I never had an account and I am beyond happy about it. :-P The more I read about Failbook the worse it sounds every time.

The best thing about Facebook is that it'll be dead in 10 years. The young people don't use it anymore because their parents are all on it.

Gawd, YES! I so hope that'll be the case. :-P

it will go the way of the dodo in a couple years.

I sure hope so, since currently it feels as if it is used for... less good things. :-P
