It has been almost a year already since I decided to stop using facebook. Tell you what, It feels great not seeing all these showbiz personalities, the faces of these stupid politicians, the drama etc...Would you quit facebook?, just try it and I assure you of one thing and that's "Reality".
You can adjust your feed to see exactly what you want.
Let me know when there is an alternative to FB for keeping in touch with old contacts...
You have the option to deactivate your facebook account but you messenger is still active.
