I’m over the Facebook thing. I think I just stay to lurk over the friends I met here that are all over there. I miss having this little spot, though, even when the memories are rough.
Not a big Facebook fan-unfortunately a lot of the people I do business with don't have working websites and it's the only way I can stay in contact with them.
Well...I never left here, and it's still a good sounding board/therapy for me.
I was keeping up here a bit better but fell off again recently. I miss longer posts from people and ones without a lot of huge fights in the comments from total strangers.
Ok, sometimes those are fun to read, but you know what I mean. 😁
Hell yes, I do. You’re right, though. Everyone got tight-lipped over there, whereas here, you knew almost everything about the people on your friends list and I think it’s why I can’t stop lurking on FB- those friends were as real as ones that I might see more often (not like I have loads of those… lost one of a very short number during the Trumpster Fire).
Time to campaign to bring them all back over here! 😉 I was happy to see a few posts over here from you still ❤️
I have been surprised by a few from here but not as many as say, the ones I grew up with over on FB.
I'd love to see more people over here again but with everything happening in Europe right now it's a harder sell than ever. I keep reading the "now we are REALLY leaving" posts (from ones who I assume stayed after the first "oh no the Russians" scandal) and of course it's possible it will go belly up now anyway.
I have debated on at least trying to save everything I've posted just in case but do I really need to read what my unhappily married ass posted back in 2001? 🤣
I found my old Diaryland account too and it still exists even though the owners want $19 to "verify" it's my account in spite of the fact I logged in without any problems hahahah it was a great place back in the late 90s for me and I still follow/interact with at least 4 people from there.
I miss this place too! Most people I knew people bailed, then the few of us that were left (in my little clique anyway) moved to Dreamwidth after the Russians took control of Livejournal...
I am out of the habit of regularly writing on my page, but I am still here. I know exactly what you mean when you say that you are over the FarceBook. Alas, many of the friends that I met on LJ have since migrated to the Suckerbag Digital Roach Motel and no longer share themselves here. Frankly, I am "over the Facebook thing" as well, and I deleted my developed account with all of the contacts a year or two ago. I think there may be a vestigial account there, with my name on it, with no friends postings or history, but I haven't mustered enough curiosity to go check if I deleted that one too. I can't remember if I did, and can't work up enough interest in "Meta" to even check. FB colors my impressions of human beings and especially people I know, with cynicism, and I hate that. I think you are entirely onto something when you point out to sharkbait that: "Everyone got tight-lipped over there, whereas here, you knew almost everything about the people on your friends list" Facebook does that to people
