Re: I Quit Facebook
#34I'm honestly a little amazed at all the thought put in to quitting Facebook. It seems like such a big deal for people. I think it's very sad that we've gotten to this point. It's just a Web site.
Technically it is, but it is much more than that in reality. All my friends use Facebook to create parties and announce sudden gatherings. I don't use facebook to much more than to know when these things occur so I can participate but if I were to deactivate my account it would mean that I would probably miss out on some of these gatherings. I'd rather just keep my account and post as little as possible in order to j…
Are people, who can't be bothered to send you an SMS, email or give a call to invite you into a party, actually, your friends?
Re: I Quit Facebook
#35"A facebook account was closed." Headline suggested to me someone resigning from the company. The latter is more interesting. Many people have closed their facebook accounts, it's not a big deal, you just announce you're going to do it, get whatever contact details you don't have from connections then do it. Others never opened one. Life is fine without facebook, if you feel you want to close your account, do it. Foo…
The current title "I Quit Facebook" make me also unsure if it was about resigning or closing.
But the true article title is "I Quit Facebook—and You Should, Too", that is more obvious

I also expected a developer quiting after the recent FB news with the election.

#37Alternatively: accept the value of Messenger and access it directly via https://www.messenger.com or the Messenger app.
I will never be able to understand these articles as ALL (with some exceptions) my friends are on facebook, and it is the only way I have to keep touch with all of them. This is a huge problem for people like me who travel a lot and have no other ways of getting in touch with someone.

Some closer friends might, but several of these people doesn't have my phone number or email. I participate in several groups and people often write "does someone want to do something today?" etc.
To message every single one every time and ask would be too much of a task. Of course you could create a mailinglist but then you'd have to convince everyone to use that instead which I know would be impossible.
But to answer your question, yes.

At this point I'd be more interested in a "I re-opened a facebook account". Which I'm sure we'll get down the line.
