Many responses say they hate FB, but feel like they have no choice but to participate
Peter from Twitter:
I removed Fb from my phone after the privacy scandals and removed any personal information that was not required - I much prefer Instagram (Facebook-lite if you will) because sharing pictures was a nice component that I valued and is typically positive in content and comment.
The biggest reason I dropped it aside the negativity was the time suck and distraction Facebook transforms any standard handheld device - I still use Facebook, but far more deliberately and perhaps once a week or less and I rarely comment or post now

Deactivated about 6 months ago, haven't missed it (SNR was quite low by then). I just use telegram and twitter occasionally now. Also these pocket computers have a telephone in them so I've gone back to using that feature
Will from Twitter
Left in the last year. Switched mostly to Twitter or just nothing at all.
How's life without it? Do you feel like you're missing out? And do you care?
Don’t care, don’t feel like I’m missing anything. Id say better without it. Most of what was left was political or irrelevant to my life which drove me away.

I left Fb about 6 years ago . Was hard at first had to delete all apps . But live it now . It’s a great freedom
Trends from RH Conversation
I left FB because i got tired of the BS
Mental health
One response says they actually track their mental wellbeing, and the app theyre using to do so actually shows an improvement. I have questions… moodscope.com
Lots of talk about echo chamber and social bubbles
Gamification..
Some believe that the platform is designed to show you the worst, so you keep checking back in to see if things have gotten better?
Privacy
A lot of folks cited privacy as the reason they’re no longer on fb
Some said it’s a losing battle, it doesn’t matter if you attempt to protect your privacy, its already lost
Alternatives
From all sources, i’ve heard only a few alternatives
Other social platforms, like insta, twitter, and some who actually liked g+
A move to chat platforms like discord, whatsapp

Thanks for great episode, guys! Especially for that post where f... Google blaming C & C++. Yep, those "engineers" are stupid! Hope in future you'll discuss software development topics more. ;-)
