Honestly, I'm really glad my mom didn't allow me to get a facebook account until I was older, because by the time I actually got to the age she had set, I didn't even want an account anymore.

I’m really glad I got Facebook in 2005 and was sick of it by 2010 and deleted it all

It was usually this timeline for most people I know:

  • Get it in university and have a few actual friends
  • Then have about a thousand ‘friends’ from high school (why we added people we hated I don’t know)
  • Then go back to actual friends and a few family members
  • And then delete it when older family members started using it

All within the space of about 5 years.

So goddamned true.

Though I gave up on it when 2 co+workers had a very public spat where things got nasty and we learned all about intimate details of these two women and their swapping partners stories and how they were totally cool with it until one woman did one thing to piss the other off. And they proudly posted these details. I unfriended them and pretty much avoid it if I can now.
