Um, call me crazy, but no, I don't and never will.
Here's what Snowden thinks about it: Quote:“He doesn’t use Facebook because he hates Facebook,” he said. “They’re one of the worst violators of privacy in history. Nobody should use Facebook.” Here's some suspicions being cast on mighty Facebook even before the Snowden Revelations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz3a1wun8RE And finally, something about how it's majorly fucking you up, just by using it. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/sex...tal-health The thing is, I was roughly the first of everybody I knew(from my generation) to use facebook and I got bored pretty quickly. Something rubbed me the wrong way about it too, besides the boredom. Anyway, it seems useless to me, to this day. It's nothing but a virtual replica of physical social interactions, and an especially bad one at that, given that actually some pretty important things are lost along the way, as I'm sure you know. As Rene Pinnell put it back in 2011, trying to promote his own mobile app thingy, ironically: Quote:Ultimately, real-world socializing will win the day. Humans are social creatures hard-wired for interpersonal contact and companionship. It’s time to bridge the gap between our online and offline lives and make social networking actually social. Real life: Accept no substitutes. (July 7, 2015 at 11:25 pm)excitedpenguin Wrote: Um, call me crazy, but no, I don't and never will. I can't show this to my husband lol. He's super paranoid about facebook and keeps threatening to get rid of his account. I won't let him, of course.

If Facebook died today, I wouldn't miss it.
I barely use it, but I like the messenger function to text my sister, as she doesn't own a cell phone that has a text function. But she does have an iPad. And Facebook messenger. Go figure. ETA: C_L I sent you a friend request, since you are popping up on my feed...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
