Same. I read an article last year that said that people should be "suspicious" of people that don't use social media.

I dated a girl who thoughts it was sketchy and suspicious that I didn't have facebook. Like I was really married or something.

There was also something very absent in the relationship, a void that might 'normally' be filled by being facebook friends and appearing in picures together. And changing our relationship statuses. That jazz.

She was a professional stylist who wanted to dress me like a faggot in tight pants with white sneakers.

She had a magnificent ass-pussy-combo

I will admit that not having social media (particularly Facebook) does have it's drawbacks.

I'm in graduate school and many people in the class have created private groups to "share information" in order to help each other improve their grades.

Luckily I have a good friend that emails the information to me, but yes...in that regard not having Facebook can be a drawback.

People look at me like I'm from another planet when I tell them I haven't had any sort of social media for a good 10 years.

I made a rule for myself that I won't date a girl that uses social media, it limits my options but all in all I think it's weeds out a lot of time wasters.

I have fb but I rarely use it.

why be suspicious of people who don't have it?
herd mentality?

Had Facebook about 6 years ago, haven't looked back since I shut down my account. It's the same with all social media, get rid of them and you'll feel better for it.

>>139616987
wew I'm sure glad I never had a facebook account

>>139616987
I deleted mine about 4 weeks ago after some lefty nutjobs started trying to doxx me for a mild comment I made about the Baltimore "Nobody Shoot Nobody" weekend.
Never felt better since. No more nagging anxiety about the crazies.

The general consensus is that you must be hiding something.

There was a time when I refused to have a cell phone for a couple of years. I got the same reaction from many people.

I did have a house phone that was included in my TV/internet package and people thought I was insane. They couldn't believe that I didn't pick up the phone because I WASN'T FUCKING HOME.

No fb since 2015
Reason: I like me some extreme metal but also some bitpop. A friend shared with me a new release of a band and afer that my timeline became flooded with other shitty bands, tour dates, t-shirt BUY BUY BUY!
Also people kept saying in conversation "Yeah I posted this on facebook, haven't you seen/read" when asking how they been, how their vacation was.

I am a techy, but spending time on smartphones yoou to see advertisments and shit you used to have conversations face to face about is not my utopia of technology.

I missed a few parties in the beginning but now friends know they have to message/mail/phone me.

This is actually true. I was skeptical about people who said "I deleted social media and I feel great!" but it turned out to be completely true. It's been almost two years now and I actually get a lot of shit done.

After a while you'll notice some shit that will drive you insane however. It was shocking to me how many people open conversations with "Did you see this on Facebook....?" or other things like "I was on Facebook and this person posted this...."

You'll also notice other things that will annoy you. For example, I'm a graduate student and I'll take a look around the classroom and notice that I'm the ONLY PERSON paying attention to the professor. Everyone else is on their phones fucking around on social media.

It's actually gotten to the point where the professor looks directly at me when he's talking because NO ONE else is paying attention. It's like a one-on-one lecture. These are the kinds of things you'll notice when you leave social media.

>>139616987

Farhad: I think we've mentioned it before that if you are going out with someone and they don't have a Facebook profile, you should be suspicious.

Emily: Wait a minute. You may have mentioned that.

Farhad: I think I’ve recommended that. You know why, though? Imagine if this guy didn't have a Facebook profile. That’s why. You should be suspicious of someone who is not making your relationship known publicly on a site like Facebook. I’m going to go on record with that.

Emily: I'm fine with people not having a Facebook page if they don't want one. However, I think you’re right. If you’re of a certain age and you meet someone who you are about to go to bed with, and that person doesn't have a Facebook page, you may be getting a false name. It could be some kind of red flag.

Not really, forum etc. are not counted to social media because you're not building a network.

On a forum you do have accounts, but the "reallife verification" isn't a thing as they try in facebook and twitter with the verified thingie.
>Or do you really think people see your post on 4chan of all places and think you're a good catholic?
Then there is the sharing stuff, facebook comments/twitter hashtags related to online articles/shopping items etc.
I'm pretty sure you can't use your 4chan pass to enlist yourself for things.
Your interpretation suggests that the whole internet is social media, including the 'dark'web.
There is a distinction for a reason, women and men are both human though I like to make the distinction.
>just because people get called retarded and nigger here for sharing retarded nigger shit doesnt make it less of a platform for being social on the net and sharing media
These things can also be done and are being done in closed facebook groups and locked twitter accounts.

True story:
I'm friends with an handicapped man, he went on Tinder... He got a lot of likes from women way above his league, but everytime he chatted some they turned out to be prostitutes looking for a willing easily manipulated man. And as far as I know you need facebook for tinder.

the only and right way to use FB :^)

i use it for shitty FB games when i get turbobored.

>>139616987
this place is the only social media i get
no ads masquerading as posts allowed, my wife's FB is 60% advertisements, all up the sides and completely ingrained in the actual content
no likes, no names, no sharing, no bringing up a 3 year old post and reposting it simply because it's something you posted 3 years ago and you're completely fucking flabbergasted that you've lost 1000 days to the same stupid website without noticing

and yet i still fucking hate it here and wish i could leave and never speak with anyone online. Sadly, since I started running my own business i have no coworkers for socialization during the day and i get bored as fuck on my own even with full freedom to do whatever the fuck i want as long as i'm here to answer the phone and greet any walk-in customers

tl;dr social media sucks and despite it's merits this place is just as bad in it's own ways

>hurr you need to pay it because this phone number is the one that benefits from this account and it's your number you are using
bitch please, give me your home phone number and i'll set up a bunch of accounts under it using a fake name and see how you like it

No one posts what they really think on Social Media anymore. They post what they think everyone wants to hear for instant feedback in the form of likes, upvotes, shares, retweets, whatever.

Social Media is posted purely to get attention from others online. It's fucking pathetic.

>Facebook said that it does listen to audio and collect information from users – but that the two aren't combined, and that sounds heard around people aren't used to decide what appears in the app.

“Facebook does not use microphone audio to inform advertising or News Feed stories in any way," a spokesperson told The Independent. "Businesses are able to serve relevant ads based on people’s interests and other demographic information, but not through audio collection.”
Sure...

I remember back in 2007-08 I use to have a myspace page and I really liked it. Within a couple of months all of my friends quit posting and logging in. I asked around and everybody said they were switching to Facebook. It was probably summer of 2008 I created a facebook page and deleted within a month. Facebook is the dumbest platform on the internet. I haven't had a social media account since.

My friend gets by without Facebook by using Instagram, I'm partial to twitter myself. As long as you have something, you can avoid looking like a serial killer. Just tell them you don't like Facebook nearly as much as the one you're using.

>>139625264
the instant snap to "CONSPIRACY" kills me inside

>your phone has a microphone
>your phone has functions (optional or not) that require the microphone to always be on
>your phone is connected to the internet and sends various data to your provider and manufacturer for various reasons, diagnostics being the supposed primary reason
>companies across the world will pay top dollar for information regarding customer purchasing habits, needs, desires, etc. (the sort of thing they spend a bunch of money forming and using focus groups for)
all of this is not arguable. plain and simple fact.
And yet putting it all together:
>your phone collects information from around it along with it's diagnostics and such
>the phone manufacturers/dealers sell that information to large entities like facebook
>facebook now knows that John Smith is in the market for a lawnmower or barbecue or whatever, so it prioritizes relevant advertising to appear on john's facebook
>this allows facebook to tell other companies "advertise on facebook and we will do our best to ensure that only people interested in your ad see it, saving you money overall"
Suddenly it's fucking CRAZY TOWN up in here and the cognitive dissonance goes into overdrive as the person hearing this information mentally struggles with the idea that they are nothing but a number in the books of countless corporations

>>139625924
same kind of idea here except i went balls deep on myspace, habbo, cokemusic, livejournal, even the social side of deviantart.

well because people are brainwashed into making, keeping and maintaining some degree of "social media prescence", ie/ furnishing corporations with your (valuable) information.
and the way people phrase their excuses indicates they are highly uncomfortable with the services they use, but have to SELF-justify, ie/ delude themselves that
>this is fine, i only use it for X
what they are actually saying is
>it is fucked, the only thing stopping me quitting is X

and its frustrating because instead of talking about the issues, people talk about themselves. and throw their personal ego into the debate - just like they have been TRAINED to do by years of social media use.

couple this with the fact that people think they're being unique when they say it but they sound like an army of drones
>I only use it for X

I deleted my facebook 7 months ago after I found out my ex cheated on my with multiple men over the course of a year (I was about to marry her). I mainly only had it for her. All the people I knew from highschool are liberal faggots, and all the people I knew in the Army are all race mixing cringe "IM A VETERAN" types.

I hate fb because it gives every retard a voice and a platform where people actually listen to it, yet it's pretty much become an echo chamber.
Sometimes I would get tagged into conversations about the Confederacy, or race issues, etc and it would always end up that I would win the argument, but then just get called a POS, loser, etc but they could never refute anything I said. It's just arguing with virtue signaling children in their Jewish run faggot echo chamber.

I don't care about your personal drama, I don't care about your vacation to Spain, I don't care that you're getting married to a nigger, I don't care about your opinions on anything, so why the fuck would I keep a fb to read and see all that bullshit.
It's all fake, just uploading shit so they can get "likes" and comments so they can get excited about notifications and that people are paying attention to them. Women are the worst about this. Every woman's account is just "look at me"
I look at my exs account sometimes and she just posts shit of her with friends, hanging out having fun, trying to seem intellectual or cultured, and I'm just thinking about the other men she fucked and how she will suck dick for coke and lie about everything. That's what I'm saying, you don't see the real person, you just see what they want you to see, and what they think of themselves. It's egotistical, narcissistic, and self absorbed.

Fuck that shit man, delete your social media.

I would also get tagged in conversations about Trump and the Confederacy as if they wanted their weird "conservative friend" to give his input only to be jumped upon by hundreds of liberal faggots that would call me a Nazi and white supremacist.

I didn't "rage quit" by any means, but after a while it really started to get to me when LONG TIME friends that I had known since childhood were unfriending me because I voted for someone that they didn't.

It is poison. I never used it, even though I have a facebook account. It was basically forced on me by my wife when we were dating, but I intentionally do not use it and do not check it. Everyone who matters in my life knows this about me and does not hold it against me. Sometimes I see some of the shit other people put on there when my wife is checking hers and I know my decision is the right one.

sounds like you don't hold a job, you hold a revenue based social media existence. the more clicks, the more respect your name garners, the more cash they feed you the better you play the ego game, the higher you rise.
my job relies on hard work and knowledge in my head and hands. I'm my own man, no boss. no social media required. if you need linkedin to have a job, it's not a real job, it's a con and i do not respect you.

>I would also get tagged in conversations about Trump and the Confederacy as if they wanted their weird "conservative friend" to give his input only to be jumped upon by hundreds of liberal faggots that would call me a Nazi and white supremacist.

Are you sure you're not actually me?

The exact same thing would happen to me, get tagged by liberals on subjects like that. The only reason they do it is because without someone like me to debate them, they'd all just be agreeing with each other, which I imagine is boring for them.
It's also so they can point and say "look, SEE there ARE racists among us #PunchaNazi #IfICallYouaRacistIWinTheArgument #cucksunited #notmypresident"

I would argue to the point of them only being able to respond with insults (which I never insulted anyone, I only pointed out thoughts and facts). I would then politely give my final thoughts and say I'm done with the argument to which they would literally say "Oh we won! look the coward is leaving" after their last 10 responses was shit like "no that's wrong you racist piece of shit, I hope your daughter fucks lots of black guys".

I've lost a lot of friends over the years because of my beliefs, but I don't care. I know I'm right, I know that National Socialism is the only answer for our people now. We tried the "no step on snek" approach, all we wanted was freedom but they made it impossible.
They will reap what they sow. They call me a Nazi anyways, why not just bear that name with honor and pride?

Yeah, plus it's hard to keep up with that stuff when you have a job and responsibilities to worry about. I find that most people who have time to post incessantly on there are women who stay at home or have a cushy do-nothing job, people who are still in school or working part time, and people who are old and retired.

There is one positive I can give for facebook, there is a neighborhood facebook group where we live (all single family homes, etc.) and we made some friends via that welcoming new people, we also have managed to exchange goods in a strange neighborhood barter economy which exists there. Small stuff, like my wife wanted some cookie cutters for christmas cookies so someone lent them to us last year, or I had an old guitar amp to get rid up and traded it to someone who had a decent effects pedal I wanted to use with my new one, etc.

Other than that, yeah keeping up with my friends is done in person. I don't want to sit down at a restaurant or bar while out to dinner with a friend I haven't seen in a while and not have anything to catch up on because I've been monitoring their life on facebook.

>>139631237
Absolutely. From my experience it's ironic that the people who constantly proclaim to the heavens about how "Oh so openminded" they are usually are the people to resort to namecalling and nasty comments when confronted with someone with a different opinion.

They don't act openminded at all, in fact they get downright hostile and mean.

Arguing with these people is like playing chess with a pidgeon. They knock over all the pieces, shit all over the board, and then flap around like they're fucking victorious...

Does anybody hate virtue-signalling as much as I do? Whenever I saw anybody do it my opinion of them dropped dramatically. and then there is always that one guy that virtue-signals constantly, say all the politically correct things for asspats. It's fucking infuriating.

I agree that some aspects of Facebook can be beneficial as your example of neighborhood groups.

I'm in graduate school and many of my classmates create private groups to help each other with the material. Unfortunately I don't get to participate in that but I have a friend who is kind enough to forward me all of the information.

>>139631713
Most of the people who virtue signal are usually posting about things they hate. Conservatives, Trump, white privilege when they're also white, etc etc...

For people who like to constantly proclaim to others how morally superior they are, they certainly seem to be filled with a lot of hate.

>>139631631
Normies can't handle redpills. It's why the term redpill, though perhaps a tad cringey at times is so apt of a term. It's easier and happier to accept everything you're taught in school as fact, everything you hear in the news as fact, all the moral lessons you're taught by cartoons and media as good and correct. It's nice to feel like you haven't been lied to and deceived at every turn, it's a good feeling not only believing you are 100% correct, but that everyone else out there agrees with you.

If someone came up to you tomorrow and told you in a calm and collected tone that they were in fact your biological father, and they had real evidence which proves they are, you will still have an emotional reaction and at least reject the entire idea initially. Assuming you had two parents who were happily married for your entire life, even the thought that everything you had believed was a lie and nobody was who they said they were would destroy you. It's a self defense mechanism to start shouting at the man to shut up, call him a liar, tell him to leave you alone, accuse him of something horrible. If the stranger is correct you will feel extreme pain. If the stranger is all the things you've said he is, then you can continue living comfortably, assured in your correctness.

This is why normies on facebook cannot hold a political debate. This is why you'll get called every name in the book, even when you're not even talking more "fringe" or conspiracy stuff, but actually stating facts. It's factually true that black people are 12% of the population committing the majority of crime in this country. Stating that fact will get you called a racist, a nazi, etc. It hurts them to think that the episode of good times they saw with muh #notallblackpeople theme was just a bunch of nonsense.

Not too long ago I saw a conversation where a friend of mine was debating someone and said that the guy wasn't "looking at it the right way".

I wasn't aware that there was only ONE way to look at a situation. I thought that there were lots of ways to look at things with many different possible solutions.

Well, I'm not super open minded when it comes to my beliefs, I see things as what is right and wrong, true or false, etc. but I'm capable of trying to at least entertain hypothetical situations or understand someone else's point of view.The thing is, I'm capable of doing this in a civilized manner, without resorting to insults and name calling. Hell, I don't even usually do those things on here where there are literally zero repercussions for being a dick to people, and I notice plenty of other people on here who are good natured in spite of nothing forcing them to be. I could go on a facebook political discussion and talk to a communist about why I think their views are bullshit, or talk to a jew about why I think a ZOG conspiracy controls much of the planet. It would be an emotionless discussion of facts, theories, evidence, etc. from my end. It would not be from the other end.

Not just on facebook but in life in general I find I am incapable of interacting with the left because they are incredibly emotional people and are incapable of any discourse where thoughts/views/ideas are presented which contradict their world view. Some shriek and shout the same meaningless phrases over and over, others show their deep hatred and name call or wish harm and death upon you, some crumple up into a ball of sadness and tell you they "can't even". Hell, the best they can do, the ones with the most fortitude to try and stay there and talk are incapable of doing so without glazing their entire statement in snark and sarcasm. Its like an idiot telling yo mama jokes in real life and looking to his crowd of friends behind him for a high five after each brilliant quip.

Removing myself from the situation is better. I come here for whatever stimulation I can derive from the 5% of posts that aren't shilling, retardation, shitposts, etc. and I find ironically that in those 5% of good theads the honesty is more raw than you will find with any lib in real life or any website.

I think you don't understand how stupid the AVERAGE person is. It reminds me a lot of air travel. 40 years ago flying was EXPENSIVE and only rich people did it. Now we have $19 Spirit Airline retards and planes are just as ghetto as the public bus.

Similarly in the 80s only the smartest people could get on BBSs with 300 baud modems. It was 100% white males. Now any fucking retard can get on the internet, as evidenced by the number of niggers online.

So yes, there are people who REALLY believe these retarded things. You just never talked to them before because they were kept in their "containment areas" until recently.

Indeed. Most base their arguments over emotion rather than facts. I can talk to just about anyone really, but when it comes to leftists they typically just call you a racist or tell you they're offended and "claim victory" after telling you that they don't want to continue the conversation.

Hell, I'm a conservative guy and I vote Republican. I dress like an adult because that's what adults should do, and I'm clean cut and have no piercings or tattoos.

During the summer I typically keep my hair really short due to the heat. In some circles this is enough to get me labeled a Nazi by some.

Most people who ask for open mindedness from you are people who are unwilling to give it themselves. They will hold no quarter for your set of values, ideas, opinions, wants, hopes, etc. They want you to take theirs and make them your own. If you don't they will discredit you immediately via whichever method seems easiest. Nazi, racist, bigot, redneck, etc. There is no give and take there is only take, take, and more take. I see no fruitful productive outcome trying to see someone else's point of view and potentially lend credence to anything they say when I know they cannot and will not reciprocate, which is one of the reasons why I do not use social media, or any forums aside from these.

I can only assume what you mean, kid. Wayback is not foolproof or indestructible. It only scrapes from the surface and isn't generally usable for bigdata. Presently personal information is being tailored for usability but its far from complete. Next gen will be so. Remember, everyone: Suckerburg has almost enough influence to make a legit run for President (not happening but conceivable) JUST for making Facebook. He has enormous local power and with other technology giants controls much of the west coast of the US. What comes next is only bigger. Using social media and data mining services makes them fortunes now and helps them develop what comes later. If you knew what that was, you'd be immediately scrubbing info from your profiles. But by then it will be too late. This is where it becomes the blog post but I don't actually have time for this bullshit...

Personal information is collectively vast but it is finite. Corporations in their next iteration of bigdata don't get their information from websites, fb or wherever. That's only the front end collector. They are building a picture of the human race separately from these. You won't have to open or delete your profiles. They ALREADY know you through inference and reference from what they let do know. Public information is cross-referenced to private information and they will know you whether or not you've used a computer or phone in your life. What we do now perfects that process. The true "facebook" is not publicly accessible, ever. It is under construction as we speak, always and your decisions today online affect how well and complete it will be. Think of the big picture. The days of "hey, this advert came up because I posted this" is a generation ago. Good luck, kids.

Linkedin was ok in theory until they inundated it with social media garbage. Plus many people I know get constantly solicited by staffing firms who email literally anyone who puts down a keyword certification or credential looking for a shotgun effect hiring for some low-grade job.

Not a blog post, an effort post and a good one. They are already doing things similar to this in China.

People like you're describing I normally associate with sophistry. They think they're so smart that they don't have to learn anything new.

On the other hand, I'm constantly trying to learn new things, read more books, including things that I'm uncomfortable with. These people just want to surround themselves with people that are totally like minded and agree with them all the time. This way they're never really challenged intellectually.

I like to surround myself with people of all types. It makes things more interesting. I have some longtime friends who are liberals and fortunately we're able see past that and remain friends.

Not everyone is like that however so I consider myself pretty lucky in that regard. I can't say the same for the majority of leftists out there.

Frequently, I see people who have no need for a phone wanting the newest and most powerful phones immediately. It's sort of like how I see a lot of people out and about who do not perform a job which requires a work truck, and who rarely if at all move anything (and typically not anything that wouldn't fit in a hatchback, small van, or SUV) driving around in a lifted pick up truck with big mud tires, reinforced suspension, the works.

I didn't get a smartphone until I legitimately needed one for work in software dev. beyond that I don't really use it much for anything.

Yeah, I've always been of the opinion that if I'm secure in my own values/ideas then it is of no harm to hear about others. I will judge them on their merit as objectively as I can and hear out their arguments. It does not create an existential crisis. In the unlikely event that I'm presented with something I've never considered before I can begin rethinking how I view something. Otherwise, I can judge, understand, and dismiss those which I don't believe have merit. Lefties in particular cannot do something like that. They preach that they can because last year they went from not being so sure about faggots to thinking SRS is a-ok. That's just because they're nudged along by the media and peer pressure. Contrarian ideas are still met with a nuclear response. So much for open mindedness when you postulate to the guy who just decided trannies are ok that they might have a mental illness and he's fostering it.

They get a small shot of dopamine every time they see some likes or upvotes or someone agrees with them and tells them they're great and special. It feels good to be them. Bluepills are all about good feelings. It's why they're emotional when you might disrupt their good feelings.

It is not a conscious effort for most people, it's like an obese person stuffing their face. They might know something is wrong, they might even want to stop or do it less, but they still find a way to mindlessly eat the whole bag or oreos.

It's like someone saying to you that they don't use computers.

Being completely connected and absorbing what all of their associates and friends are doing at all times is supposed to be normal.

I use Instagram but I literally just follow meme accounts so I can have a chuckle when I'm bored. That's all I do.

I did this back in 2008. Facebook went to shit when they stopped verifying accounts that only had a .edu email address.

It's pretty cool.
Except all the BLM and LGBT posters, and all the faggots, and trans, and all the smiley glad-hands.. oh fuck it, it's terrible. I'm quitting in few months, can't handle it anymore..

Being confined to 1 shitty planet and eventually going extinct due to an asteroid or something will end our existence.

>She was a professional stylist who wanted to dress me like a faggot in tight pants with white sneakers.

Been there, the chick I was with through all of my 20's was like this, she was a retarded liberal that basically wanted me to dress and act like a fag. The harder she pushed this, the more redpilled I became to liberalism in general. Thankfully we never had kids so no permanent connections to her, she was fucking insane.
