Episode 82 - The Face

Welcome to Episode 82 Main Topic

The Face


Responses:


Many responses say they hate FB, but feel like they have no
choice but to participate

Peter from Twitter:



I removed Fb from my phone after the privacy scandals and
removed any personal information that was not required - I
much prefer Instagram (Facebook-lite if you will) because
sharing pictures was a nice component that I valued and is
typically positive in content and comment.

The biggest reason I dropped it aside the negativity was
the time suck and distraction Facebook transforms any
standard handheld device - I still use Facebook, but far more
deliberately and perhaps once a week or less and I rarely
comment or post now

Deactivated about 6 months ago, haven't missed it (SNR
was quite low by then). I just use telegram and twitter
occasionally now. Also these pocket computers have a
telephone in them so I've gone back to using that feature



Will from Twitter



Left in the last year. Switched mostly to Twitter or just
nothing at all.



How's life without it? Do you feel like you're
missing out? And do you care?



Don’t care, don’t feel like I’m missing anything. Id say
better without it. Most of what was left was political or
irrelevant to my life which drove me away.



Rob from Twitter



I left Fb about 6 years ago . Was hard at first had to
delete all apps . But live it now . It’s a great freedom



Trends from RH Conversation



I left FB because i got tired of the BS

Mental health



One response says they actually track their mental
wellbeing, and the app theyre using to do so actually
shows an improvement. I have questions…

Lots of talk about echo chamber and social bubbles

Gamification..



Some believe that the platform is designed to show
you the worst, so you keep checking back in to see if
things have gotten better?



Privacy



A lot of folks cited privacy as the reason they’re no
longer on fb

Some said it’s a losing battle, it doesn’t matter if
you attempt to protect your privacy, its already lost





Alternatives



From all sources, i’ve heard only a few alternatives



Other social platforms, like insta, twitter, and some
who actually liked g+

A move to chat platforms like discord, whatsapp

development topics more. ;-)
