So, I deactivated all social media today with no intention to reactivate and I feel better already. I feel like a major weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and like I already have far more energy and attention to spend on other more important things.

Are you still on social media Sup Forums?

If so, why? And would you ever consider going ghost? If not, why not?

I think social media is a massive psy-op to basically weigh down the minds of the masses. To overwhelm us and oversaturate us with information so we stop paying attention to the things that are important to us within our local vicinity. Ultimately resulting in us shirking our responsibilities to ourselves and our communities. And there's also the fact that it is essentially a breeding ground for narcissism and is probably the most efficient means of spreading degeneracy.

The screen of my Galaxy S7 is broken so im stuck with pic related. I honestly don't care that I can't access social media since I'm using it to watch memes anyways.
However I have noticed that for some reason I'm kinda having meme ideas so I guess its all good lol

>and I feel better already. I feel like a major weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and like I already have far more energy and attention to spend on other more important things.
this sounds cringe af just say social media is gay

Can't do it. Facebook is absolutely required in 2018.

>I'm kinda having meme ideas
meme ideas in my head i mean whatever

That's right, goyim. Disable all of your social media and stop sharing links to the truth. Can't contaminate the normies. Yes, yessssss....

For what? I havent had a facebook in years

Facebook is absolutely required in 2018.

I've got a Facebook account but I never use it since Facebook is so fucking gay

It really isn't required

Then why are you here user

If you are still on Sup Forums then you haven’t kicked the habit

...

jesus fucking christ i cant even post properly i forgot to put the > symbol

I'm not on facebook and no one has demanded that I be on it.
I can't imagine why it would be required for survival since I survive quite well without facebook.

Not true. I think you only "need" Facebook if you're disconnected from your local community and have no other means of contacting friends + family. If you're in a close-knot local community, which is how all communities should be, there's no need for FB because you can just call whoever you want / need to speak to or just pay them a visit. As it was in the "old days".

You don't need social media to share truths. In fact I would say that social media acts to the contrary. People focus so much on paying attention to the "bigger picture" and sharing truths about what's going on in general that they tend to forget about what's going on at home and don't really become active in resolving those issues at home or spreading the word to those around them. They think sharing infographics memes and youtube videos will solve things when they won't. They're just as much of a distraction as MSM.

Heh. If you don't have multiple anonymous social media accounts because you have to cycle through time outs or shadow bans, you're doing it wrong. And, no - I'm not shitlording or harassing anybody. I get "literally" shadow banned on Twitter regularly. All of my accounts were shadowbanned when "release the memo" was trending and I was tweeting about it. You ever wonder how those trending hashtags die? Of course they monkey with the trending list, but they also shadow ban people using those hashtags. It has to be a bot. I can't imagine people doing that manually.

Sup Forums is social media

I got rid of all social media 6 or 7 years ago user
it's exactly what you say it is - a narcissism machine designed to make normies lose their minds. One of the best decisions I ever made.

Asocial media.

While Sup Forums has some elements of social media it's not the same, you don't have any sort of consistent presence for the most part. You're not identifiable unless you want to be, there's no limit on discussion, there's almost no regulation / moderation. And despite all of the shill threads and constant jewing there's a lot more worthwhile information on here than any other generic social medium. There is also no peer pressure, no required social conformity, no constant barraging of mindless bullshit like "here's what I had for dinner today", it's genuinely informative and also requires minimal effort and attention.

So it's completely different really.

Sup Forums is social media though.

Yeah after a while you start to translate people's posts from what they're doing or saying to what they're actually doing or actually saying because it's pretty much all narcissitic code for pay attention to me for this reason and it's all meaningless bullshit, there's hardly ever any intelligent discussion. Even tumblr where debates are commonplace, that's just a gigantic female virtue signal circlejerk.

For advertising your brands and businesses, pictures of bears and k-pop girls.

400lbs shutins don't need it as they don't leave the house.

there's no need for FB because you can just call whoever you want / need to speak to or just pay them a visit.
That's rude to most people.

completely heterosexual.

oh yeah I know because I myself hate it when people call me or pay me a visit unannounced.

that's why you should always text first for confirmation that it's ok. no response = no, anything other than yeah sure = no.

> I think you only "need" Facebook if you're disconnected from your local community
i cant point out often enough how horrible this whole situation is. i live in the middle of the city and sometimes i go live with a friend for a couple days, he lives a little out in some middle class rural village. the way people interact with each other there compared to the city is incredible. literal whos say hello to you when you go for a walk. people know each other. my friend has his garage door unlocked 24/7. you could only steal tools anyway but this would never fly in the city where i live.

Oh hey, I agree with this fag.

But you can't ignore facebook. It's too ingrained in everything now.

The only thing you can do is know when to spot bullshit..

Stormniggers need to go back.

I went ghost 2 or 3 years ago after I learned that Facebook was secretly running experiments on its userbase to attempt to effect your mood.

Facebook's stated goal is to connect everyone into a social hive so that Zuckerberg can brainwash you into liking him for some reason. The fucking autist can't handle the idea that maybe people shouldn't or don't want to be connected this way. Facebook's biggest flaw is that it has women on it. Women who turn facebook into a festival of drama and catty gossip. For an example of what a social media site without women would look like, take a look at LinkedIn, a site for professionals, where men are 56% of the user base. Its a place where people (mostly) communicate about business with only occasional virtue signalling to score points at their next position's HR department. Compare this with facebook which has a much larger female userbase than male userbase. Women will always be drawn towards drama, its their way, so facebook is a puddle of degeneracy and gossip.

whereas the wives of yesteryear would have to have made efforts to join social clubs so they could find a chad to fuck, now they can use facebook and connect with Chad through his profile, stalk him, and wait for the best time to pounce.

For men this provides a massive distraction by 1) convicning us we should validate the emotions of people who do not matter to us. 2) drawing us into pointless drama that does nothing to further our status. 3) inviting us to participate in degeneracy through direct 'marketing'. 4) creating a 'validation trap' where we feel invalidated because we've accomplished nothing, then validating us for wasting our time doing nothing on facebook.

You'll be better of when you take the red pill and quit facebook. Even better when you take the black and quit social media all together.

it's a bit like that where I live. you see the same people all the time and gradually, casually get to know them from random hello's to random conversations when they're walking their dog or some shit. you can't leave your doors unlocked or anything here but it's pretty nice and "communal" - small british town btw.

I unfriended everyone over a year ago, hundreds of people, only kept my mother for emergencies, deactivated and only reactivate if there are problems getting in touch with my mother via her phone. I barely even think about Facebook. I'm too busy.

it's doable man.

A lot of these threads are made to discourage people here from participating in social media.

>completely heterosexual
I don't mean social media is literally gay of course I just think it's stupid

Totally agree with everything you just said.

Also, social media is mainly for women, because the current status quo in society is that women make the rules and men follow. So it's a good way for women to regulate society by "if you don't do this, you don't get this, wink wink" - and I mean that's literally all women see social media as, a means to attract men. it's all about sex to them. it's their main means of recruiting betas to serve their interests.

just last year I was involved with a single mum roastie, just for sex might I add, and she used to show me groups on facebook where mums from all over the UK would share nudes with each other publicly (the groups were private but had hundreds if not thousands of members all of which could see the content posted), they'd work together collectively to shame men who didn't do things they wanted, sharing screenshots and then attacking then online en masse, they'd cuck their boyfriends by having them take photos so they could share them online and they'd conspire with their female friends to help them all find men they could fuck on the side while their partner does whatever. so much goes on in social media that most men have no clue about it, it's literally anti-male and is set up so that women can use it against men because of their inherent collective nature.

also I have to add, that much of the explicit content was actually stuff made by couples so you could see the partners of the women in the pics or vids. these women were essentially showing off their sexual exploits with their men, either their partners or who they're cheating on them with, without the consent of the men they're involved with. and they were actively boasting about this, said it made them feel naughty and they liked it because their partners didn't know, and apparently it's "ok" because they're only showing them to other women.

imagine if the roles were reversed and men collectively shared nudes of girlfriends or ex-gilfriends without their consent. they'd be ousted as perverts and demonised, even so far as to create legislation around them to penalise them if they're caught.

oh shit wait, that already happens. it's called "revenge porn."

perfectly fine for women to do it but when a man does it he's persona non grata.

Lol quite the opposite.

Agreed, user. It’s one big “must be seen as.” So sad.

I tried social media some years ago just to see if I like it, since I have no friends it was just my relatives, hated it, it was always things like "good morning", "love Jesus" or "look at this boring things you would never have known of because it's totally irrelevant". Thing just felt like a big distraction that added nothing to my life so I just quit it after a week.

It's exactly the same no matter who you have on it mate.

i have to admit that i still have a facebook account and use it regularly, but to me and most of my friends its just a communication device. it has gotten a lot more practical than shitty sms. its the only reason i havent deleted that shit yet

I deactivated all of it 6 years ago. Reddit wont let me make new accounts to talk about Bill Clinton being a rapist in r/politics and r/news.
