The pursuit of excellence.
I shutdown my account 5 years ago because I realized my insatiable need to argue with dumb people was counter productive to the amount of time I had to spend on other hobbies.

facebook is mostly used for uninformed arguments about Obama, people posting pictures of their faces and their bastard children, and people having public meltdowns when they get divorced

Deleted as soon as the .edu email address restriction was lifted, so like 2006 or 2007? I used it because from 2003 until they opened it to everyone, it was the secret, college-kids-only club where we could post about how much dick our prof probably gobbled on the weekend, and how great those mushrooms were the other day. All of the sudden you're getting friend requests from grandma and potential employers are combing through every pic that some idiot with default privacy settings has tagged you in even though they only met you once and you're in the background, but you have a 24" bong up to your face and you're wearing the goriest Cannibal Corpse shirt you own and just gently caress, no, deleted.

I have this one dude on my friend list who posts several pictures of his baby every single day

The baby has more pictures than everyone I know

Baby pic folk, quiz takers, lunch update people etc... you just either unfriend them or hide their asses.

Then you have a pefectly ok social media platform to interact socially on.

What ungodly kinds of people do you socialize with, if you really need to exit facebook? I've got about 500 friends. Approx 300 of those are IRL friends and acquaintances of various degrees and the rest are just some random ppl I've added for some games, about 90% of them hidden from my newsfeed (I kept a couple who did cool poo poo and I had stuff in common with). I dunno, just about everyone I know has got Facebook. It's a convenient way to post poo poo and know what's happened and what's happening. I'm 40 and European.

Like 30 or so? I dunno, I'll accept any friend request but I try to keep it to people I actually know.

I find Facebook still pretty decent for knowing things like when a local band is going to play or if some social event is coming up. I'd rather check there than every bands website individually or poo poo like that.

Nevermind, facebook deleted me. I signed up under the nickname everyone knows me as and after 7 years of use they decided I was a fake person and deleted me. My biggest suggestion is dont "use facebook to log in" to loving anything cause if facebook makes you an unperson it gets hard to get those other accounts back.
