Thread: Breaking up with Facebook.

I kinda sorta "broke up with FB" about a week back. My phone got cut off due to non-pay, and there was a blizzard, so I went to spend the night at my Dad's because his place is walking distance from work. Thing is that my Dad drinks alot, and so do I when I'm around him, and so I went on FB chat and kinda sorta... Redpilled the two biggest feminists who I hadn't yet unfriended. Both were good friends to me, at one point.

One knew I was Redpilled, because I told her long ago.. She called me a NiceGuy back then and we hadn't spoken since. Another I think may have figured out that I was Redpilled, simply due to changes in my behaviour. Either way, they both know it now. I told the one with boys to please not raise her sons to be like the NiceGuy's she hates so much. The other I just explained how 4th wave feminism is producing a vast population of men who no longer have the capacity to care about ANYTHING, least of all a woman. I wouldn't be surprised if they are telling every friend we had in common about it, but I dumped all those people to, so... there's nothing lost.

I haven't been back to FB since (because my phone was cut off).. But I got my phone turned back on, and I really... just don't have any desire to go there. Since I wiped out all political-messaging, it's nothing but suggested articles anyways. I'm just using Instagram and Reddit from here on out... less drama on both, and better interfaces, to boot.

But there's something else... You see, ever since I took the Redpill and learned of MGTOW... I've had this terrible feeling of duty, like I needed to warn my old feminist friends about just how deeply they are destroying their own male-supporter base. That they are the ones creating Incels and MGTOW and MRA's and all of the manosphere. And just how screwed they are, because feminism (and Wokeism in general) only got to where it is today due to the fact that men where there providing material support and labor as part of the feminist movement. That if(when) those men quit, feminism and Wokeism are going to suffer an extreme dearth of support. I don't think any of the Woke or Feminists realize that...

And while my warnings may have been the rambling of a drunken idiot, I had finally MADE THEM. I warned these ladies... and maybe they'll go tell their friends and it'll help them out in some fashion. It doesn't really matter what they do.. I made my warnings, and my conscience is clear, and now at long last I can stop being concerned about "what happens to the wahmens"..

From here on out, it's all on them...

I've also found when I take a break from something whether it be by choice or forced like with your phone situation that when I try and come back to it, I no longer want it.

FB is poison and so is its un-American, anti-truth DNA. Russia or China could buy that platform and not have to make one single change to its policies for it to fit right into their repressive societies. Same with TWITter. They're both pure garbage. I've never understood why any sane person would want to support either platform by even signing up, especially with the available alternatives out there.

(Sorry in advance for the borderline rant.)

Back in the day It was probably a good place to catch up with friends and family. Now it is too political to be worth the time. I've never had a Facebook account and I doubt I ever will. There are too many trolls and toxic people for me to deal with. It is far more civilized here.

I quit all social media years ago. I still peruse Reddit for a few special interest things and Youtube is a valuable educational tool if used properly. I especially loath twitter and facebook. As I pointed out in another thread, I even convinced my friends to switch to using Signal on their phones for chatting instead of WhatsApp.

Agreed. I haven't signed up for any of the other sites I go to to make comments. I lurked around here for a long time before I joined, and that was only after I saw a long tradition of respect shown by all members and Mods who keep order and are upfront about what's acceptable behavior and what isn't.

Seriously, what is the point of telling them anything? Why the attempt at proselytization? Especially why tell them that they are the ones creating Incels and MGTOW and MRA's and all of the manosphere? The fact that you did this drunk should be a revelation that there might be certain unresolved issues within you. Maybe you haven't quite gone your way yet? Going your own way should have nothing to do with anybody but you. I don't mean to diagnose you but I think self-introspection is needed here.

PS: I have one rule written in stone, I don't text/call/pick up calls/email/post anything online while high or drunk. You might want to adopt that line of thought.

I haven't done much with a lot of the major big tech websites. I really miss how it used to be, like in the '90s. Even AOL, as much as people trashed it back then, seemed a lot more fun than a lot of the online that we have today.

On top of that, things seem slow as far as cool new stuff online. Especially since about 2015. That seems to be about the time that the whole thing started feeling increasingly controlled, like the rich were trying to affect public opinion, or something.

Old Internet was decentralized, felt more like a marketplace of ideas, and also seemed like more real and thoughtful people. People weren't so trapped in social groups like they do in real life, and you could meet some really cool people without even expecting it.

I'd probably be willing to pay $20 a month for a new top-quality Internet service with all kinds of features, that was more like the old days of the Internet.

I understand that there are people, probably way smarter than me, who have similar feelings, and are working on a new Internet. I hope they produce something really great, because we badly need a smart, creatively evolving, and pro-consumer Internet, more like we used to have.

Ditched FB a few years back to eliminate all poison from my life... They are evil AF!

Never had any interest in joining Fuckbook or Twatter. I'm staying off most of social media except for a few texting apps on my phone to make communication easier with my friends and family. I consider most of social media a distraction from living in the reality of my life. Besides, I don't care about the mundane lives of everyone around me as I'm sure they don't really care about my life either. We have an increasingly narcissistic and self-centered society anyway and most people have no real interest in other peoples reality, they just want to showcase their own fake accomplishments for others to see and envy.

Speaking of Signal, Why the fuck no one on signal?! I have one mgtow on there. and he and I are trying to get mgtows on signal. We mostly want to hang out there, as alternative.

I'm still on FB. I ditched my real account back in 2016, then made a fake account a few weeks later because I was missing out on sports news and stuff. I made two more because I joined tons of based shitposting groups where we mostly laugh about trannies, lefties, libtards, feminazis, piss on jews, call bullshit on the MSM, and where we are racist. The best thing about the latter is that it doesn't matter what the color of your skin is, as long as you're racist, and that pisses so many people off

I made the two extra (fake) accounts because I often get banned on my main account for speaking my mind, and I just continue on one of the extras. I still get my sports news too, though, so that's good.

Facebook is like being in a permanent hang out with all the low IQ morons and assholes of the world. I honestly don't know why any thinking man would do it.
I rejoined a couple of times in the past only to be on specific groups (sporting activities). But even that is intolerable and I had to bin it almost immediately. Shit seeps in from every angle.

My next mission is binning my smartphone. I do use it for some sideline work I do, maybe I'll keep it strictly for that and remove all other apps. And use a dumb phone for calls and texts.
