In reply to the discussion: Deleted my Facebook account a week ago -- crazy how addictive it was [View all]Aquaria
(1,076 posts)51. I have an account, but...
a) Its not under my real name, but an alias I use. So that limits the people interacting with it.
b) Ive never really used it for anything except as a contact source for college study groups, or for entering the occasional giveaways at assorted pen porn sites I enjoy (Pen Chalet, Goulet, etc).
I did need to create an account once for a medieval lit class project, which involved using FB like Isolde might have if she were alive in the modern era.
Other than that, I have no use for it. I cut ties with high school people decades ago, and the only family member I can tolerate is my mother, whos 80 now, and still cant figure out email.
So I never really got the FB concept, and thus it never became a habit.
