Now I live in Tennesee. Did live in Michigan.
Not me, I'm a non-conformist. I saw what was happening two years ago and left when they started going back over 5 years and censoring you and giving you a child's paddling in the banning room. 53 years ago I had to kill the same type of people, I guess we missed a few.
 
I use FB to keep in touch with family and a few old friends. I'm also a member of a few FB special interest groups and I enjoy some of the videos especially from Jacques Pépin and Jamie Oliver.

I've noticed lately that FB is feeding me more and more suggested content. Every few weeks I have to prune my news feed by turning off much of the new content.

I think FB is fine if you use it instead of letting it use you.

I wouldn't go that far. Once I was in a Minions fan page group and some guy posted a pic of himself nude and made it look like he was doing nasty things to a stuffed Minion. I don't have that problem here.
 
Out of necessity, I hold my nose and use it to access pages for businesses and organizations where FB is their only web presence. I DO NOT have an account ... nor will I ever.

How do you access Facebook without an acct?
 
I love it but not as much as I used to. For friends I have family members, old colleagues from past jobs and friends (acquaintances) from the past. I love being able to get a little look into their lives and sometimes share things from my life. I rarely post but I do from time to time.

I also follow several musical artists/bands and am in several groups centered around music or other interests. I also get notified about various articles I might be interested in from various publications. I have often already seen the articles from the papers I read but the publications I don't review on a regular basis have articles that I'm interested in and seeing them promoted to me is useful.
 
Never joined facebook or twitter and don't intend to. From all I've seen it's too toxic, although I understand those who want to use fb to connect with family and friends.
 
I prefered Google Plus but Google dropped the ball on that one so I do use FB to keep in touch with family and friends along with being active in a couple of groups about Phoenix history.

I consider it a total waste of time. Some people have 200 friends-really?

Or many more, lol! Over 50 of my fb friends are family. By the time you add in childhood friends, undergrad, grad school (x2), work friends through the years, friends from clubs, community activites ... it adds up!

I don't spend a lot of time there because I've muted a ton of people. It's not the same as 'ignore' on a message board. You can still see a muted friend's stuff if you go to their page. Muting cuts out those people who post a lot and clog up your newsfeed.
