It’s SO unnecessary. Not having it forces you to engage directly with people you truly like. You’ll have more time for them as a bonus.

Not a big Facebook fan here, but I do use it to keep track of and keep in touch with old friends and distant family.

That said, I've never clicked an add nor engaged with some silly quiz.

Facebook doesn't seem necessary at all.

I thought the opportunity to write a nice "I'm quitting facebook" post to let all your friends know was half the reason people were doing it?

the sooner you're off it, the sooner you can build your graph in other places that work JUST AS WELL.

But then where else could I show off my idealized version of my life?

Holiday cards and your yard decoration like people have for eons.

this would make me question the legitimacy of said friendships
