Social Media

I have social media with Facebook and here. It's really all about balance IMO. I like to hear what my friends and family are up to, but I don't need up to the minute updates. I hit FB up every couple of days or so and am on here everyday for personal and volunteer reasons. But I still spend a good amount of time with family on a daily basis.

Deleted Facebook back in November and not even once have I regretted it.

It causes too many problems with relationships, waste of time and if I want to speak to someone I will email, WhatsApp or call. I don't miss the "look at me" statuses or finding out what everyone had for dinner nor endless pictures of babies.

I lurk on Twitter for football information and use as Body Building Forum but that's about it.

Once the FB app is deleted off your phone and deactivated it's job done seriously.

Try for a week and feel the benefit.

I go back and forth with social media. I net my girlfriend because of it, but I see where it can be a little TMI at times. I have taken breaks from it at times. Like anything else. Anything in moderation is okay.
Live your life.. Don't post it

I enjoy social media. I use Facebook for keeping in touch with friends from high school and college, and I use this site for fitness and making new friends. I tried to start twitter and Instagram accounts, but I just can't seem to bring myself to care about them.

Agreed about Instagram and Twitter.. I can't get into either of them

I have Facebook but rarely check it - my phone won't comply with the app so I only check FB when at my PC (which is quite rare). The only friends I have is those not living in the same country as myself - all the others (such as family) I keep in touch via phonecalls or email. I do have IG but never post personal pics, they're mostly just my artwork really. I used to be a lot on twitter but it's not interesting anymore. I don't feel like sharing anything lately, and I don't care about others atm. Trying to cut back on social media as it's basically proven to be more of an "anti-social" media: people have all these friends but still choose to block their updates (or mute). What's the point of having friends if you don't care about what they're up to? I deleted 90% of my FB "friends" and the rest I love very dearly, so I kept them. None of them are notorious FB addicts, they check in occasionally and that's just fine with me. I don't judge those who are on every social mediasite, it's a great way of making friends and meeting new people. To each their own, as always.

I don't have Facebook and never have. My only social media outlet is MFP. I guess I like to converse with complete strangers rather than people I actually know.

The one down side to not having Facebook is I have lost touch with some people over the years who I would probably still see now and then (they moved away, changed phone numbers ect..). But I don't regret being not being on Facebook, I don't want to deal with nonsense and drama that I am sure would ensue.

My wife teases me about MFP because I won't sign up for FB (she says MFP and FB are practically the same) but at least with MFP I am taking with people that share the same interests and goals as I do. I don't post my life on here; I talk about food, sports and fitness.

I spend the bare minimum amount of time on Facebook. The only other communities I interact with are MFP and Reddit. As much as I'd like to delete Facebook, people share a lot of information on Facebook only and then are not bothered to share with those that do not have Facebook.

I only have Facebook and MFP and usually check them once a night when I'm at work. That's about it. I believe it only causes drama if you let it and have those kind of friends. I don't do Twitter because I don't want minutes by minute updates on crap.
