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."

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.

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.
