Facebook and why you don't use it (Only for people that don't use it)

[theloneassassin]

Hello everyone! I happen to find myself one of the last people that does not use facebook or a similar social-networking site. I Honestly don't do it for the fact that i don't like people and if i was on facebook i would find myself at a constant 10solid friends and accepting one friend a month then promptly deleting him because he does not like my brand of paper towels.

 

[BreakfastMan]

Wow, someone else! I had thought I was the last person on the world to...

OT: To be honest, I am not nearly social enough to get any use out the service. I am a introvert, so I do not willingly socialize most of the time. I just have no need of the service at the moment.

 

[theloneassassin]

We are not alone!! finally some sort of redemption for my insanity.

 

[archvile93]

Because I already hate people, and I don't see how learning about the pointless details of a stranger's life would make me hate them less.

 

[Zack McSleuthburger]

I figure those that use it probably do so because it allows them to talk to friends who are also online. However, I have a phone, which allows me to talk to friends who aren't online. And as a friend of mine said, "People see it as a beacon of hope in their boredom. They sit on Facebook in the hopes that something may happen"

Because it regularly violates it's privacy policies. That and it is an attempt to centralize people and the internet.

 

[Jamieson 90]

Because I have absolutely no desire to broadcast my entire life to the internet or to greedy advertisers who no doubt get information from places like Facebook.

Secondly I don't like the argument it lets you get in touch with old friends or people you used to know. You know what, maybe I don't want to get in touch with people I used to know. You know maybe if they were such great people they would still be my friends?

Lastly Facebook can get you into a lot of trouble. Hey you said you were sick that day, well we got photos from one of your friends with you partying that night, sure you were sick for work? Thats one of the annoying things about facebook, even if you don't have it your photo can still appear on it. Seriously I wish the thing was never created at all.

I don't use it because I have real friends.......and email, and don't care about farmville. and I hate getting 500 invites to be a vampire every 3 minutes

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

I don't like the idea of lying to everyone who uses facebook.

Because if I filled out all the information the way I should for family/friends, I'd be lying.

 

[theloneassassin]

Silly!! Everyone knows vampires only send 450 invites an hour! its common knowledge.

 

[invader sloth]

drama.

the kind that comes from people not getting accepted as your "friend"...

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

Because my parents think it's demonic.

No, I'm not kidding.

Someone give me a hug.

 

[Super Toast]

I just... can't be bothered.

I don't use it because it's a blatant attempt to grab information off you.
Also, the fact that it follows you around the internet isn't so great either. I had to use scriptblocker to block the facebookcdn from registering every site I went to, and despite deleting my account (Note: Deleting through the actual facebook mechanism, not deactivating, as my profile no longer exists and can't be searched for.) it still followed me around the net.

 

[DefunctTheory]

Because I don;t need to know what everyone is doing. If I want to communicate, I'll use bi-directional communication to send a message, not an omni-directional, attention grabbing post.

That being said, I'll probably be turning my FaceBook on again, so I can keep in contact with people when I move away. Not because I want to use Facebook, but because so many people I know ONLY use facebook.

Emails dead, it seems.

ha I guess you're right, my bad

 

[Aris Khandr]

There are pretty much three people in my life I care about enough to update on how things are going. And call me crazy, but since those people are so important to me, I actually TALK TO THEM every day.

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

Too much drama and frankly, nothing interesting happens in my life for me to broadcast it. Eh, it's some people's cup of tea, but frankly, not mine.

 

[TK421]

Because facebook is idiotic. I don't care what you had for breakfast. I don't care what stupid thing your kid said this morning. And I certainly don't care that you grew a corn in farmville. I have hated facebook since it's birth, and I will continue to hate it as it gets more and more stupid and mindless over the years.
