Jan De DobbeleerSeriously considerig removing my FB account. But, that also means I'll no longer have access to my "friends". Being the social outcast I am today (not due to me being all that awkward, but simply because I moved around too much), it will alienate me even more. Any advice/thoughts?
Really? Nobody has an opionin about this? #facebook
🪦@jan Heb dit al eens gedaan en ben van plan om het weer te doen. Vorige keer vroeg ik mijn FB-vrienden om op Hubzilla te komen, maar ik denk dat dat een paar stappen te ver was voor die mensen. Nu vraag ik aan ze of ze dan maar op Mastodon komen. Heb er echter weinig vertrouwen in. Mensen zien FB als 1e levensbehoefte of zo iets. Droevig, maar waar. En willen niet voor 1 persoon ergens anders heen gaan. :-(
@jan Over 'vervreemding'. Er zijn maar een paar mensen die ik ken die hun privédingen op FB gooien. Die kan je vragen om ze zo nu en een e-mail te sturen met de nieuwste ontwikkelingen 😛
OliWare :white_check_mark: @jeroenpraat @jan Ik wil dit ook al langer doen, maar hier is het voor het verenigingsleven bijna niet meer te doen. Affiches worden nog zelden gemaakt, verjaardagsfeesten waar je nu privé wordt uigenodigd, enz ...
I decided to delete FB and Instagram first and see where that takes me. As for Twitter, ever since Mastodon happened, I haven't been following the conversations in there and can't say I miss them. If I don't restore them within a month because of whatever reason, I can definitely remove my accounts. Almost sounds as if I'm talking about quitting drugs. Bloody insanity.

Too many contacts via FB in order to do that. Otherwise I don't post/read that much anymore, but sometimes it's handy to have some stuff organized. (e.g RPG group or concert-buddies stuff).

Sina Cutie@jan I did it even though I lost contact with some friends. It hasn't even impacted me, other than making me happier. I am so glad to be rid of that blue monster, but I know most people wouldn't like doing so. I gave people a chance to grab alternative ways of contacting me, and now I actually talk to a few people /more/ than when I used a stress-inducing platform. Same can be said for hellbird and g+.
INACTIVE@jan Try shifting your closest friends to more direct mediums, such as the phone? Alternatively, any person you meet on a day to day basis could very easily be your friend.
Viktor Strate@jan You can have a messenger.com profile, independently from Facebook, that way you can keep your "friends", but only chat directly to them.
