Am I the only one not on Facebook?
« on: August 02, 2015, 05:20:14 am »
I thought about trying Facebook, but I still have not tried. Anyone else out there not using Facebook.

So far I text message, talk on the phone and send emails. I am very slow with technology. I tried twitter for awhile, but did not really know what I was doing, lol

I have never used facebook and don't plan to in the future. Social media is not the way I like to spend my time. If it can't be done in an email, forget it. I don't have enough time to go through most of my email anyway. BMaston12

Lots of people don't use Facebook and with good reason. Facebook tracks you for lots of things like your political views which I feel is an invasion of privacy. I use it, but I rarely post anything. I just like to keep track of what my friends and family members are doing.

I have an account on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.  The only one I use to any extent is Pinterest. Twitter I could care about less, I am on Facebook about once or twice a month to see what my kids are up to, and I am starting to enjoy Pinterest more and more.  I won't be on any other social networks! Just don't care about other people's business or posting mine, in either written or pictorial form.

As of right now, I'm not on Facebook.  I go back and forth almost daily as to whether I should open an account or not.

The absolute only reason I would do so would be for business purposes only.  I really could care less about what everyone is up to and no one needs to know my life story either.

The people I share this information with are my real friends who I associate with in person.

So, an account for business and not to socialize would be my strategy.

I have facebook but I don't do much on it.  I don't put my personal info out there.  It is a good way to keep up with family or friends who live far away.  But once you put it on the internet there is no stopping it.   You can't get it back.  And apparently your opinions can get you fired, kicked out of school, banned from public places and everything else.  Just because someone disagreed with what you said.

I deleted everything off my page last summer.  I comment on stuff once in a while but not often.  and it is usually vague.

I just started using twitter have no idea what I am doing and to be honest am only using it for sweepstakes so don't really care about it.  Facebook I dislike really but only got on it to stay in touch with my deceased husband's family but people only like to see on there what they like they seem to be opposed to anyone's opinion who differs from theirs so ....... I still check it out to see what people are putting on there but again I am not crazy about it.

I recently joined a site that required having a Facebook account. Other then times like that depending on the other sites, I don't think I will use Facebook.

Facebook continues to track you for 30 days after you log off. 
I stopped using facebook when the ads on the page started to correspond to what I casual mentioned in a facebook message to another user.  They even keep what you type in a message box and then delete before sending/entering.    I hate when they suggest friends for you, there is a reason why I didn't continue on being friends with some people.   

None of the younger kids I know even use their facebook, they use Instagram, Snap Chat, youtube, and a host of others sites.  What ever their parents are on is where they are not...   old people use facebook, the younger generation is over it,  soon it will be like myspace, remember myspace ?   I used to like that. :)
