I haven't been on Facebook in months, and with everything I have going on with the Writer's Block and Noblewitness, it was time.
It's a strange feeling. I remember signing up for my Facebook account in 2005, back when you still had to have a college email address to get an account. It was fun, kinda like Myspace 2.0. Then, as inevitably happens when a platform sticks around long enough, it became stale. Worse still, Zuckerberg, that weird anteater, robot kid, went whole hog on collecting and collating as much data from his users as possible. Facebook quickly became the single most intrusive app in my life, as I'm sure it is for most people.
So I decided it's finally time to kick the habit. I deleted FB messenger (the crap shoot that it was), downloaded my pictures and contact list from FB in a spiffy zip file, and deleted my account. I've had friend and family asking me why, like they're bewildered at the notion of getting rid of the worst privacy violator in my life. I keep telling them the same thing: I'm done with all the bullshit.
