So leaving Facebook is like leaving a job....

Nobody gives a fuck about you once you're out the door. I got my 4th FB "jail sentence" and this time it was 30 days, and for a really STUPID thing; someone had sent me a picture of a Hitler tea pot YEARS ago, and it was buried in my photos. It was not Public, so a "friend" had to do some serious digging to find it, and report it. I find on FB, most of the trouble comes from people ratting on you, not FB just randomly finding things. Plus I have seen far worse than a picture of a fucking Hitler tea pot.

So anyway, I let a few people know I am locked out, and disable my account. Who knows which asshole it was who was reporting me, so take it all down. My real friends texted, a few emails, but I didn't hear jack shit from anyone else. The mentality seems to be, that if you are not on FB, you are a worthless piece of shit. Can we say indoctrination? Sheeple? Brain washed? Wow. I went on through a back door account, and had a few people there say something, but not many.

The couple weeks off from FB have made me re-evaluate what is important in life. I was on that site since 2008, not really using it until 2012 thereabouts. It really became "my life", and an addiction. I admit, there are withdrawal symptoms. I don't know "what is going on" with friends, since there is no other way now to find out, besides FB. I an get my non-MSM news as I need it. It's been a wake up call to #1 how brain washed people are, and how untrue some "friends" really are. Will I go back? I will enable the account, go through and remove any picture that might spur that ass to do it again, but I will likely abstain. I have removed the app from my phone and ipad, and use it only on the Mac. So no more constant checking. Use in moderation, keep most of my life off of it, and fuck those that can't communicate via other means.
