Good for you! I did that myself a few years ago and have never regretted it. Facebook was definately an addiction which left me feeling empty and unfulfilled.
I find myself a lot less angry over stuff that doesn't really impact my life (getting all worked up over politics and stuff that doesn't even impact my life and I have no control over). Not only happier overall but also more informed as my world view isn't being filtered through echo chambers

Having never signed up for FB in the beginning, I feel like I have
missed out on a large part of our culture. It seems a whole decade was shaped by Social Media that I will never really understand. No telling grandchildren what it was like around a campfire :)
I think is good you experienced it.

i wonder if 20 years from now there will be some sort of home-brew retro facebook that makes it operate like it did back when it started. for people to be nostalgic about when social media didn't require cybernetic brain implants or whatever.. hah

Welcome toa world where you have time to do interesting things instead of wasting it online.
Years ago, I remember Facebook showing notifications about all your friends' activity, such as what they commented on, etc., and you could also see who viewed your profile and when. Now it seems there's much less of that - I don't think it shows who has viewed your profile anymore, and I don't think it has notifications on your friends' activity anymore (though I think you might be able to still go to their profile and view their activity log if you wan - or maybe only you can view that for your own profile). Perhaps that information was removed to reduce stalkery behavior on Facebook.

Here is the thing: wading through all the new posts I want to read
takes me less than 20 minutes a day and I think I don't miss anything.
People doing Facebook get overflown with content. The ones that are
really active either take more than an hour a day wading through it or just skip a lot of posts - which is understandable, because there is a
lot of crap in there.

honestly i would not recommend getting into running a bbs again.
we have no users. and if you're into tinkering around, i would
recommend doing something that can give you some profitable new
skills.

Can do both...
Docker, javascript, web development, etc.. can all be done in
enhancement of Synchronet, or other BBS software. ;-)

To be honest , Google has this feature enabled by default. You can track your location history over time on Google Maps if you want to.

Sorry about this , but i'm fairly new to BBS'ing and still learning the ropes. I see that in order to quote the previous message I can use the CTRL-Q keyboard combo, however that seems to be the same one as the one for disconnecting from the BBS (i get the 'would you like to disconnect'popup). Am I being a total noob here ?

I liked it better back then... It's actually about AI engagement
tracking and metrics... they play tricks now more to get you to stay engaged with the site more, exposing you to more ad traffic in the end.

I am getting Facebook demerits up the wazoo. I think there are better things to do such as improving my bbs, re-establishing
my personal blog, buying business cards with my mobile number and Telegram handle. Zuck is using his riches to fight against
my favorite candidates, and for me the less time on Crapbook the better.
