Who here does not have a facebook and why?

Littlekittylou

Hi.



I have been trying to use mine less recently.


I was a bit of a FB whore. I was just wondering how many people don't have one.

If you had one how do you find not having one?

Do you find you are out of the loop?

Do you look on us FBers with scorn now?

you ok hun ? xx

that & everyone on there as a law degree

I have it for the click bait Mail and Mirror news

Think peeps are leaving FB for Twitter, ello, etc.


FB is now like the golden pages and phone directory.

FB is for self obsessed Attention whores.

I'm absolutely fine.

That's true actually. There is one girl I know who never went to Uni who put Trinity.

I got my degree from an NUI accredited college. But she can out do me on FB!

I am actually suspicious as to whether she did her leaving at all.
Gosh that's petty!


She's a lovely girl!. :-P

I'm on facebook. I don't post about drinks with the girlies or drinkin a bud wit me feet up.

I seem to be in the minority.

Yes most of my friends are the type to post mad political rants. I am too occasionally.

My brother's FB is fascinating. It's more substantial stuff.

J Mysterio

Sick of peoples bullshìt and having to post my own bullshìt. I can meet the worthwhile people without it and, if I can't, they musn't be worth my while.

It's honestly a relief to get out of it. Quit 4 months ago-ish.

tastyt

I'm not on it. Just too lazy really. Never set one up, then saw how it got my mates in trouble with drunken messages to the ladies so steered clear as I definitely would have ****ed up.

Delighted I never had one now, I'm not one for putting photos of myself all over the internet. Well not of my face anyway ",

Fair Play mysterio.

But I often think that when we quite something on the net we make up for it with something else.

It's no good spending less time on FB if I make up for it on wherever else!

What you never had you never miss.

Don't try the forbidden fruit!

The internet is addicting!

I used to use Facebook. Great for keeping up with family away. But then I stopped because I had to wade through tons of the "you will be amazed what happened next" articles and "watch this baby elephant sneeze" videos to see maybe one photo that interested me.

No matter how many people I deleted or times I said I don't want to see posts like this they were still there

Now I ring and email.

Iranoutofideas

I only keep it in order to stay in touch with friends and family abroad. Though even that is not enough these day...I'm seriously thinking of ditching it. Or using it less and less.

Is it just me or does anyone else find themselves coming to seriously question why you're friends with some people after reading the ****e they post on facebook?

I used to have a Facebook but then I got duped out of it by my friend Mark.

I'm not on Facebook and never have been ........ for a few reasons, the main one being I've never heard of a good reason to need to use it???

Miss Demeanour

I don't have face book simply because I have no interest in what someone I went to school with 20 years ago is having for dinner or what their little man/angel looks like.....

Ah. An internet utilitarian!

I had a fb page, op. Shut it down about two years ago. Why? Pick any reason. They're all valid. Mostly because of huge torrent of trivial, followed by the flood of just plain wrong, that arrived in my newsfeed every day. I'm busy. I don't have the time that that much trivial and wrong demands every day.

I took an instant dislike to it when I first encountered it around 2007, thereabouts? I just couldn't get my head around the whole thing of what was back then more like an online scrapbook format kind of thing than the social media behemoth it's become today. Even back then when the communities were smaller, I just didn't like the idea of "another bebo" (never liked that idea either).

Do I find I'm out of the loop? Well, yes and no, I had no idea what the consternation about makeup selfies was about, neknominations, ice bucket challenges, or whatever else (Kony? Kony who? :pac:). There isn't really much of a loop to get into as really my life isn't all that exciting that I have anything going on that I think might be of interest to anyone else, and I look like a gimp in photos so I'd have one very empty profile, probably full of dinner pictures or something.

I know Facebook has a virtual fcukton of other features all in one place - calendars, videos, communication tools, promotional tools for business, etc, but I can do all that stuff from my phone already. I get the information I want, when I want it, and I don't feel like I have to talk to people when I don't want to or inform all ten friends at the same time that I'm in such and such a place right now or whatever. My mother used want to know where I was every minute of the day when I was a child, I'm hardly going to be enabling such behaviour when I'm now an adult?

I don't at all look on FBers with scorn, moreso with envy actually that they can deal with the information overload and the constant updates and so on, I think it's actually a social aptitude in itself that you either have, or in my case - I haven't. I see my friends facebooking, googling, instagramming, tumblring, etc, etc, and I just cannot fathom how they keep up with everything, they make it look effortless, and they know eeeeverything! :pac:

Me, I'm quite content not knowing everything, just knowing what I need to know, when I need to know it

Never bothered with it,even less inclined now as the missus reads me some of the stupid stuff on it,it's as if some people believe Facebook is the internet and are too lazy to even use google.

I used to love writing long emails. And you can reply when is convenient to you.



Plus I made one of the best friends I have ever had through starting the writing of emails to one another.

She and I are soul mates.

I know that sounds ridiculous but I feel so close to her.

I HATE phones. I don't know why. There is only one person I really enjoyed talking to on the phone. And it costs. And I have to do 'phone voice'.

Nah.

These days lots of people are moving away from it.

But if you're not on Ello then WHAT THE F*CK DUDE???????

pharmaton

no fb here. I deactivated first about two years ago although was never a big user. I stayed mainly for family and that was ok but the rest just never seemed to click. I watched people who I knew to be something other than the personality they portrayed in real life and tired of the false sense of familiarity, friendship and fun being displayed on a daily basis. Facebook presented what I considered an era of passive aggressive behaviour and I suppose I decided best off without it. Despite all its flaws I have always preferred the likes of message boards and have blogged a little bit (although rarely published) for cathartic purposes, but facebook is just not for me.

(in terms of keeping out of the loop, when I was in college last year, facebook was practically a necessity and if you weren't on it, you weren't kept in the loop, that's where all the gossip happened, the horrible parts were acted out and the loss of liberty occurred. deep I know, but it was all bad and I'm glad it's over. and really,there are just some people I'm quite happy to never have to see ever again!)

J Mysterio

Well put Pharmaton.

Mr_Muffin

I am really really ugly and i know it to well.

I don't think people would like to look at my face on Facebook so i never joined. It seems like a good tool though.

tastyt

Do people think in 20 years Wel all be like " Jesus Ya remember that Facebook thing " cringe??
