| Three years ago I forced myself to reduce my FB usage. - At the beginning I remember it was super hard not to check FB - So I just stopped posting first - Then I realized that it significantly helped to avoid FB in the morning - Later, I installed the Chrome Extension Eradicator which lets the FB feed disappear; I never used a FB mobile app - More and more I could stay away from FB the entire day just checking it in the evening - Still for 1 or 2 years it was kind of tempting to check FB even if it was in the evening Now, I rarely use FB anymore, maybe once a week or even less and if I see all the same people posting non-stop self-adulations and all the likers liking every little thing because xy posted it, I command-w FB faster than I opened it. I pity those posting people, too lonely, too little attention, on a desperate hunt for some friends on a addictive Skinner Box network. TBH it was a bit like quitting smoking: initially super, super hard and when looking back FB's feed feels just useless. Why do we need an alternative or FB at all? |
