    So today, I have finally decided to quit and delete Facebook.

    Sick that the last 10+ years I have been stuck to this ****.

    Anyone else taken the leap? I expect a lot of you old fudders have never heard of it.

    I'm on it but don't add many as friends and don't use it often, too many ****ers.

    Too many ****ers who I saw as friends many moons ago.

    I don’t give a **** about seeing a pic of your child everyday, not your legs over hanging a swimming pool, or your thoughts on Politics.

    I come here for the amusing political bollocks.

    I ignore most of the **** on there as I'm fully aware I could get into it with someone who I may bump into.

    Yeah, same here. I do actually use WhatsApp, but that’s just family and some mates.

    I briefly used Twitter but didn't bother reinstalling on new phone. Never trusted Facebook or had a desire to use it or any other social media.

    Here in the US of course Facebook is trying to share data with US banks and retrieve data from them.

    That scares the crap out of me that a company like facebook could soon have access to your financial history .

    I do sometimes feel like maybe I'm missing out a little... But then I realise m probably better off missing out than having my privacy anally raped by Facebook's big blue digital penis.

    Literally only use Facebook as a birthday alarm and photostorage.

    I don't care that Susan is able to procreate and use her thumbs to take a million images of the damaged remnants of the event. **** off Susan.

    I don't care that Ryan has seen a political satire sketch he thinks is funny and must share. **** off Ryan.

    I don't care about Kelly ****ing posting meme after meme about how much she hates work. **** off Kelly.

    Twitter is the only social media worth having, has banter similar too or darker than what us lot post on here. It's good for news sources as well.

    Facebook? Nah don't wanna see 20 pictures a day of your spacker kid(s) thanks, nor do I care about how **** your day's been or how much you love your 5th boyfriend/ girlfriend of the year.

    Used to like Instagram, load of fit birds on there but the moment they get a few thousand followers they started doing paid promo posts for **** like herbalife or fit tea. I still have the app but barely open it these days.

    I use them all for my business. ****ing pain in the arse though having to update stuff all the time. I don't actually know how much traffic is driven to my website, despite facebook endless trying to tell me to promote my adverts and boost my posts (for a cost).

    Other than that I'm on a couple of Volkswagen/Audi forums on facebook as they are usually pretty helpful if you have any mechanical problems. But I cannot stand reading the ****e that people post about their kids, jobs, dinner etc.

    I'm proud to say that I have NEVER had a Facebook account, biggest waste of time ever and we only have 70 or 80 odd years on this planet if we are lucky.

    I'm Facebook famous. My statuses get over 100 likes and ****. I love it.

    Don't understand Twitter at all, so I've got somebody running that account for me. Instagram is absolute bollox and I rarely update that, but I should be doing it more.

    This is the only social media I'm on. Why the **** would you need anything else?

    My wife had a look on here when I first joined years ago just to find out why I was ignoring her <laugh>

    She thought everyone on the Sunderland forum was ****ing mad! She's always been a good judge of character <laugh>

    Anyway, over the years, whilst she has mellowed in so many ways, she hasn't changed her opinion one iota!!! <laugh>

    Only ones I do are LinkedIn and this. I joined Twitter a few years ago to help my daughter with a thesis - have never posted on there but somehow have 7 people following me and none of them Teenage Sexbots.
