Helps the site (and is less irritating personally) to just flag the thread-invariant toplevel trope comments. 'stop using facebook' on anything fb-related is just that kind of comment.
Sorry, I should have said We've found calls and texts sufficient. My point is people seemed to be giving you anecdotes about how they personally got away and you are taking it as "DO THIS" You are free to keep up on Facebook. We're not shaming you or at least I'm not reading the comments that way. My point is - if you really want off Facebook, you can do it.
There was a time my entire network was on Facebook. I decided I didn’t want to be anymore. I reached out to everyone who was important to me off Facebook. Within 12 months, I knew who I was actually important to too. Sure, some of them I now only speak to once or twice a year, compared to comments regularly on posts, but the interactions are much deeper and more meaningful than that superficial FB interactions.
It wasn’t easy. It was worth it. This isn’t for everyone, and depends in your own stage in life. Be safe, be strong, be happy.
No, they're not. I refer you to my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32131180
> ... you seem pretty defensive.
I'm really rather tired of people saying "Well just stop using FB" while apparently expending zero effort to understand the context.
I'll stop now.
