T_R_O_N Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 As the tittle says, i just deactivated my face book...and it feels great. Talk about emancipation from other compelling tech shit such as twitter, facebook, and other shit. If there is a thread about this already or a thread that is similar to this one mods, my apologies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_R_O_N Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 i suppose, i just felt it was time to get rid of that shit, it always was a little disturbing knowing that there are 178+ photos of me on that shit that i will never be able to delete because someone else put them up there ( which is bullshit by the way) dunno i just didnt like being so accessible and how easy it was to pry into my life with a click of a button. my memories are mine and i feel like facebook kind of bastardizes them by having a virtual log of them. I remember before facebook i had to actually write and call people and get out of the house to be a sociable person. now if i missed a party or an outing all i have to do is click on X person's album and see what ensued. call me a technophobe, but i feel like facebook is ironically the antithesis of a social network. why hang out when one can just chat it up on the facebook? im definitely taking it to the extremes with these examples, but the less technology in my life the better....

morton Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I had a myspace page for about 3 months which was long enough. Since then I have avoided all such sites where a person puts their real name out there. Now a woman who has been appointed by the state to help me find a job can not stop going on about how I need to use Linkedin. I do not like the idea of being "searchable" at all. It just seems that it is never good news that has a hard time finding me. Thoughts of the ounce on Linkedin?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realism Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I deactivated my Facebook...I feel so free from technology and the the pull of the Internet...now just let me log on to 12oz and update everyone about what I just did 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashed tangerine Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I had a myspace page for about 3 months which was long enough.

Now a woman who has been appointed by the state to help me find a job can not stop going on about how I need to use Linkedin. I do not like the idea of being "searchable" at all. It just seems that it is never good news that has a hard time finding me. Thoughts of the ounce on Linkedin?? I was dating some woman in January, she had an unusual name so I googled it out of interest. The first result came up with LinkedIn with info about her job - it doesn't say that much, I think people need to sign up to read more info. But, as I've said, it was the first search result, so I wouldn't use LinkedIn if you don't want to be searchable. Funnily enough, one of the search results was a public Facebook page saying 'I've lost my number, my phone was stolen.' she put her number on the er.. wall thing. She's got a closed profile (or whatever it's called) and she's not searchable on Facebook, yet Google shows her Facebook profile, phone number and occupation. :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool_Hand Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I deleted my FB a long time ago, make sure you have them permanently delete your information from their system otherwise they store everything and it's easy to reactivate. I cant stand that shit, kids of the future are fuckedddd... ...not to mention every camera brought into a club or bar is there for the sole purpose of capturing every fucking "hipster" thing you do throughout the night until your photo's become "artfag" towards to drunken end. There are some girls with 3000 and counting pics of their face on that shit. "oh didn't you get my FB invitation????" "No you cunt im not 13" "Oh, lol!!!!!, well I'll re-send it" "...." "LOL y dyd you cll me a C*NT????" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

why write Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I can agree that facebook is really the ant-social network. because of this i see less people hanging out or trying to hang out. fuck them. rather stay inside on a better website like 12oz.. ya smelll mee. but fbook is good for advertising to the masses.

!@#$% Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 i deactivate every few months then come back a week or so later just good to take a break i justify it because i have a big azz family and could never, would never, keep in touch with all of my many cousins. i also have quite a few peeps overseas, and no, i'm not going to skype them., i fucking detest talking on the phone. and of course, though it is my first name, no effin way would i ever put my real last name up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyViking Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 ^This. I only keep mine around so I can keep in touch with people. But I don't have any information up on my page and nobody can see my profile, comment on my wall etc. and I don't post any statuses, once in a while I'll throw a good song up for people to check out but thats about it.

Drue_Down Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Realism served you..... And don't hate on the technology, it seems like you just hang around a bunch of crumbums who abuse it. Facebook used to annoy me too, but I used the settings to deactivate things like photo tagging & notifications, updated privacy... and to block the posts of bitches who tweet every fucking thought that pops in their worthless head. I won't block the user so they don't get butt hurt, I just set it up that they don't exist to me. The irony is I used to hate all social media technology, still kinda do, but it is a huge part of my job so now I have to engage in every single site out there. yay. I feel like one of those spam ads: I get paid to surf the net, ask me how bitches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realism Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 On a non-serving note, you're gonna want to delete it for real emancipation. If you just deactivate it, your profile is basically there waiting for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obnoxious Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 don't know what the fuzz is all about on this Facebook site. I have friends telling me to make one and shit.. haha never in my life will i conform to this facebook movement youth and adults are doing. I see it as another desperate attempt to "make friends" and what not. I'll never really understand facebook and i don't want too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drue_Down Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 My wife got all sheMAD and tried to deleted hers. 2 months later I saw her profile was back. On another note, it took me forever to be able delete my myspace, I'd delete it and it would still be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSD666 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 my best friend says the same thing everytime anyone asks him for his fb, "nah I like pussy." I admit straight up, I spend way to much time on fb and here during the fall and winter, but in the spring in summer, I do nothing but take flicks, like pecker style nh. I think as long as you're not a complete shut in, you still draw/paint/sketch/get pussy/ do man shit, it's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicenemyno.3 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 it's annoying because my entire family and my fiancee's family is on this shit. i've thought about getting rid of it but because of how easy it is to network and promote with, i keep it.

Cool_Hand Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I like the anonymity of the oontz and I have for years...What I don't like is making my day to day omg look at me shit public information. I vote FB should be for women only, thus activating it's true potential if we can all still look! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
