I post about once a year, on my birthday I get a few "happy birthday" wishes, I say "thanks everybody", and that's it. Social media definately isn't for me.

 

According to your post count, you're over 400 years old.   Unless you joined when you were three years old, or younger.  Outstanding! 

Facebook is priceless for me.  I run a private group for legal RI medical Cannabis growers to use as a resource page.  It works like a union, we all have each others backs.  Example:  of the 74 growers involved, we've yet to lose a single plant thru 2 winter storms and 2 hurricanes.  Lots of crops in the state were lost but my guys made sure each other were ok.  They were running generators all over the state to each other as power came back online.  We share genetics, nutrients, pesticides, etc but most of all we share knowledge

 

I also help cancer and MS patients that are recommended to me from RI Hospital to get them set up and supplying meds for themselves.  We get them into the group also so there is a plethora of quality growers immediately at their fingertips should an emergency occur and I am not reachable.  VERY helpful for many folks.

 

As for regular f/b use, if u use a fake name, you lose much of the purpose.  I've found friends I forgot about from high school and many of those friendships have been renewed.  I also used it to re-connect with many lost friends from my US skit team career and college as well.  

I deleted mine a year ago. I don't regret it. It just a bunch of whiny former classmates using socail media as a mean of venting. Or using social media as if it a person they can talk to. instead of personally deleting them, I just deleted myself.

A friend has a phrase,  "Facebook is the devil"

 

only for people who arent in strong marriages!!
