    Can't tell L!O!L
    I am curious are you people still using facebook or have you deleted your account?

    I been noticing a lot of people deleting are there account on facebook. I haven't made that step yet i still try to use the website to keep up with people and chat with strangers. But its getting to that point i am ready to delete it. Facebook is getting to that point its just more annoying then ever with the love and life quotes,memes,someecards (its something witty with a old fashion drawling people act like its golden). The unnecessary changes like switching all the notification to the right side? i don't understand that.

    Sorry for the rant!

    I'm still on facebook. A lot of the groups that I am in in college still use facebook to organize things. It also helps me keep in contact with people when I away. (By away, I mean away from school or away from home.) That's the only reason why I keep it.

    I still have mine too. Also like you, I want to keep it to just keep in touch with some people. But I should probably delete it D: it's very distracting and pretty useless. Plus so many other social media sites are gaining popularity.

    Still have my Facebook account (which is signed under my legal name, birth gender) but I hardly ever use it except to check up on people. I'm tempted to make another account though might hold off until I'm able to simply change the name/gender on my old one.

    You look familiar....*grump*

    Anyway, I still have mine, but its only to keep in touch with people that I never see anymore. But thanks to instagram and other sites like that, I should probably just delete it. Its only there for me to look at when I'm incredibly bored.

    ...am I the only one who really likes Facebook? :confused: Getting to keep in contact with all of my friends (both those I see regularly and those I don't) is fantastic, and I've had some great conversations on there.

    I still have a Facebook and I use it for entertainment purposes. The amount of stupidity on that site is astounding, especially on political pages.

    I still have mine and frequent it. Twitter looks cool but Bleh. Instagram is fun, but sometimes I don't want a picture, I want WORDS.

    I still have my Facebook for my job and to keep up with my friends from long ago. I don't foresee my deleting it as I need it for my job next semester and I'm thinking of utilizing Facebook (that is, of course, if it's still around) during my education career to answer student's questions when they're not present in my class or to remind them of homework. I like Facebook too much, I can't see myself getting rid of it.

    I still use Facebook for a few reasons:

    1. Lots of friends still on there
    2. My feed has a lot of cool photos because of my awesome friends (I'm probably the one on here with the most supportive feed of LGBT rights, because of one certain friend)
    3. I've heard stories of people actually getting jobs over Facebook
    4. The Westboro Baptist page is still under control by Anonymous
    5. Number 4 is an excuse.

    I killed mine. I never went on it, so the only reason it existed was if someone wanted to stalk me or an employer wanted to peek into my private life.

    Nah, I think I get that but the LGBT rights post are from different people. So you probably get the one for a single person.

    Well, I will admit that I've met some great people through it- including one guy who was instrumental in helping me figure out my gender. :grin: The only thing I honestly do on it anymore is message friends and whatnot- couldn't care less about whatever the hell people are posting.

    Facebook is my mother's territory. Tags me in so many damn pictures that I gave up untagging myself long ago.

    No, it's different friends. There's just one friend who's REALLY against the GOP (He shares about 20 photos that are against the GOP every day), so the majority come from him.

    I've never actually used Facebook:lol: It doesn't draw me in or interest me. I usually just call up my friends or shoot them an email.
