I just deleted my Facebook account (temporarily)

I have neither the patience, time or energy to constantly report idiots for attacking me, especially when FB keeps telling me the attacks don't break community standards, yet the second I tell someone what they can do with their low opinion of me, BOOM! I get a 30 day exile!

I'm sure other people feel the same, I've seen 1 sided moderation on many a forum which sides with the trolls, but this is beyond a joke.

Thoughts?

I am also on Twitter, which has been considerably less toxic.

I can't help not being able to get a job, I didn't choose to be born disabled/deaf/mildly Autistic and therefore on benefits/unable to work full time or even at all beyond the voluntary sector.

Well predictably "deleting" my account lasted all of about 3 hours.

Although if I get another 30 day exile it'll be forever anyway so I might just do it, on purpose.

I deleted facebook earlier this year. I am actually happier without it and haven't once thought of going back on it. I just had enough.

When MySpace first came out about 20 years ago, I did have an account, but it's so long since I used it I forgot the password and I can't be bothered to set up a new account.

I also have accounts on Instagram (which I almost never use), and I did have TikTok but I deleted it last year due to the annoying amount of spam.

I didn't mean myspace now. I meant 20 years ago. It was actually fun.

I remember this about myspace the most, <br>

Well since I posted this, I've gone back on FB yesterday, I will probably delete again though.
