Since I Quit Facebook

…I genuinely haven’t noticed it’s gone. I don’t even remember the day or the month when I deleted my account.

I understand that my situation allows me to go without it. My clubs and commitments don’t rely on it to update their members, email is used instead. I haven’t encountered a pressing need to reinstate my account.

If there’s some important information locked behind a login wall, I’ll just move on with my life or try and get it another way. If it’s a business, well, too bad. One customer lost won’t make a measureable difference to their bottom line.

The promise of social media is that it connects communities. But I’m talking to people just fine without it.
