I have had Facebook, Myspace, Digg, Reddit accounts and then I went to a bargain basement place called F2bbs.com. Well, today I walked from them. I have had it with social networking. I am sick of dedicating time to posting and commenting only to be told I am stupid, or gay, suck dick, or whatever. I am also sick my seeing my comments stealth deleted. I have had with this social networking crap. I know it is my own fault. I am not a typical person. I am an atheist, dislike people, have opinions and views outside the left/right paradigm, know America is fucked, and only work and socialize with others because I have no choice but to.
I am really just venting. Not looking for any sympathy but I know I can usually come here or 4chan and at least meet some sympathetic people. Thanks for listening.
Had a Facebook for a month or two. Ever wanted to instantly lose respect for everyone you know? Sure ticket. Deleted it summarily. 4-ch and one or two NEET boards are the only places I visit, occasionally.
I understand that. I had a Myspace account at one point. Thinking back, I have no idea why I made it. It didn't have my real name on it and I didn't have friends online or off that I could "network" with. I also had a few Reddit accounts to discuss some games I played, but I ended up deleting those too. Now I only visit imageboards and textboards.
Hate Facebook and equivalents. I don't need people checking me all the time, and I don't care about about the little daily blurbs of the people I know. And don't get me started with this friend/not friend business, it would drive me nuts.
I use the mobile and mail, and that's plenty. If I want to communicate over the net, I prefer forums that allow one to do so anonymously.
That's why I've used 4-ch.net for years, and never joined Facebook.
OP here. Thanks for positive feedback. Thinking over the weekend I cannot figure out why I wasted so much time on these sites. Looking back it was for completely nothing. Like #3 and #4 said, I am sticking with this and the imageboards. I am done with everything else. I even killed my linkedin account. I am sick of that too.
Long live living in the shadows and anonymously. Privacy isn't really about PII, it is about being left the fuck alone.
