That doesn’t involve either masturbating or going to the bathroom.

Mine is leaving Facebook. 4 days ago it has passed its permanent deletion date, so I can no longer recover it. I’ve been on it for 5 years and have been off and on it a little longer beforehand. Yes it sucks that by deleting my Facebook, I’ve closed off the connection to my locals who are on there, who I haven’t seen in 3 1/2 years because I moved.

However, I have tried giving them alternatives to keep in touch but they seemed glued to the platform. Not budging, not caring, though I didn’t want to be around anymore.

I was tired of the ads that I had to keep closing, I was tired of the YouTube shorts-ripoff always shoved in my face that I had to keep closing. I was tired of seeing notifications to things that either didn’t exist or was already read but I got a notification for anyways. I was tired of being recommended people I have had no intention of adding. I was tired of FB Dating, on my phone, making up a number to get me to use it again.

I was just so tired of all of this degradation that FB has become over the years to where it was outweighing whatever use I thought that there was with it.

    As much as I dislike what Facebook has become, the reason I left was because virtually nobody I knew was posting anymore. WhatsApp took over as the default amongst family and friends, so I basically just use that now.

    Relieving things though… the only thing I can think of is helping get someone fired from my work. Socially they were fine, fun even, but in the office when it came to working with them, they were patronising, haughty and a bit sinister. Always a chore, never a pleasure to do work for them.

    The day they left, my own days all felt 20% better than they had been before
