    So recently I freed myself from the shackles of Facebook. I permanently deleted my account (not deactivated, if your going to do something, do it right) and I've been enjoying my social media free life since.

    I mean honestly what's the point of it? I don't feel the need to share every aspect of my life with the world, I had around a thousand friends (990 of which I don't even properly know)

    I honestly could give less of a ****e if Mary is sick and John is happy. It's nothing but a tool for narcissistic droolies to take 'selfies' of themselves and look for attention.

    Sure, it was great when I was 15 and acting the nob on it, but it's nothing but a marketing tool and i'm not falling for the gimmick anymore.

    Rant over :P anyone feel the same way?

    Fair play...

    I find it odd that people let something like facebook take over their lives to the extent they feel the need to delete it completely

    This is your problem right here. Facebook is never going to look good to you if you have 990 strangers putting up meaningless statuses that pop up on your wall.

    However, if you keep it to a list of just your real life friends, you'll figure out that it's actually quite a handy tool for staying in contact with your real life friends, especially if you've recently emigrated. If that means only having 10 Facebook friends then so be it.

    As I said, Facebook is a useful tool, but unfortunately, it's the tools that are on it that make it useless!

    Zed, how did you manage this? I thought bookface doesn't allow you to permanently delete your account unless your lawyer sends them a letter to have your personal information deleted of their servers?

    A selfie queen on my newsfeed has put up ''2 reel 2 be fake''.


    I can think of two recent reasons why that isn't true.

    It's fairly complicated, there's steps you have to go through after you deactivate. It then gives you the option to permanently delete (although they keep still information on you). There's a waiting period of two weeks (which is a psychological move on their account to instil doubt in your mind to make you reconsider)

    It's more thorough than deactivation but not by much. The main difference being you can't reopen it at a later date. Look it up online for directions.

    It was Facebook. She posted another today, not a selfie, a pic of an icecream on the beach

    "Happy Tuesday ☀️.
    #sunny #sunshine #dublin #ireland #icecream #lovely #weather #finally #summer #ishere"

    WHY THE HASHTAGS? I really don't get it. Just write a sentence!

    Aye, but when if it posted on her instagram (via her phone) it will be posted on her Facebook wall too, with all her 'tags'. They are essentailly metatags, like you find websites using.

    Facebook uses hash tags too, as it has done for quiet some time. I don't see why this confuses so many people.

    I have to admit, every person I see up to this craic goes down a little in my estimation. I know what it's for, but it's always used for the most vacuous ****e.

    Another thing that irks me is the status update where certain folks have this little yoke with a smilie after whatever crap they've spouted e.g. "So much college work to do!"feelingstressed:(

    Piss off, you attention seeking spa. No one cares.

    +1, if you need to pick from a list suggested by facebook that you're feeling excited, then you're not very excited. And anyone who's 'feeling blessed' I generally want to do physical damage to. It usually can be translated as 'feeling like showing off'.

    I don't like the spelling of 'cum' in the context of orgasm, but "when it cums to my kids" oh lord between us and all harm! :eek:
