Announcing that you are leaving Facebook

[bunnibearchi]

Is just totally unnesisarry right? What's wrong with just going or not posting?

So many people are writing long essays about friends and who will go to their funerals, but it all seems just ridiculous to me. Go leave, but quietly.

I just deactivated mine without an announcement as I find them very cringey and self-absorbed as if anyone give a a shit.

Bumped into an old friend a few months later who was pretty pissed off at me - turns out as I was a frequent poster, when I vanished and he couldn't find me and on there he assumed I had blocked him. Oops.

I think friends think I've added them to a limited list as there is nothing on my profile for the last few years, but I prefer it like that.

A lady I knew (in her 40s) posted a big, self-absorbed message about her leaving Facebook and loads of self-putying reasons why. A few hours later she commented on it herself stating she couldn't believe the amount of people that must have seen it and chose not to comment or message! I found it hilarious

@Sharkwithknees poor thing, she must have been disappointed.
I equally refuse to respond to sympathy-baits such as: "Oh, what a day". Or "feeling pissed off". And another pet peeve: "Guess what that is." "Guess where I am right now.", posting a photo which could be called "a small town's 16th century square." and could be anywhere in Europe. I don't give a flying fuck. Just tell me what that plant, town or animal is and don't spend 30 minutes replying NO to people's guesses. I don't respond to that shite out of principle.

I recently saw one "leaving to focus on my and my family's health". Clearly if there are health issues then that's a big deal but I didn't get that impression from the posts up till then. So what does that mean? Was she so busy on Facebook she could only eat pot noodles? Didn't take her ds to the park and instead made him play fortnite all day every day so she could FB in peace?
