Welcome to Episode 82

Main Topic

The Face

Responses:

• Many responses say they hate FB, but feel like they have no choice but to participate
• Peter from Twitter:
• • I removed Fb from my phone after the privacy scandals and removed any personal information that was not required – I much prefer Instagram (Facebook-lite if you will) because sharing pictures was a nice component that I valued and is typically positive in content and comment.
  • The biggest reason I dropped it aside the negativity was the time suck and distraction Facebook transforms any standard handheld device – I still use Facebook, but far more deliberately and perhaps once a week or less and I rarely comment or post now
• Linuxsys666 from twitter
• • Deactivated about 6 months ago, haven’t missed it (SNR was quite low by then). I just use telegram and twitter occasionally now. Also these pocket computers have a telephone in them so I’ve gone back to using that feature
• Will from Twitter
• • Left in the last year. Switched mostly to Twitter or just nothing at all.
  • • How’s life without it? Do you feel like you’re missing out? And do you care?
  • Don’t care, don’t feel like I’m missing anything. Id say better without it. Most of what was left was political or irrelevant to my life which drove me away.
• Rob from Twitter
• • I left Fb about 6 years ago . Was hard at first had to delete all apps . But live it now . It’s a great freedom
• Trends from RH Conversation
• • I left FB because i got tired of the BS
  • Mental health
  • • One response says they actually track their mental wellbeing, and the app theyre using to do so actually shows an improvement. I have questions… moodscope.com 
  • Lots of talk about echo chamber and social bubbles
  • Gamification..
  • • Some believe that the platform is designed to show you the worst, so you keep checking back in to see if things have gotten better?
  • Privacy
  • • A lot of folks cited privacy as the reason they’re no longer on fb
    • Some said it’s a losing battle, it doesn’t matter if you attempt to protect your privacy, its already lost
• Alternatives
• • From all sources, i’ve heard only a few alternatives
  • • Other social platforms, like insta, twitter, and some who actually liked g+
    • A move to chat platforms like discord, whatsapp
