Anyone go on Facebook here?

You gotta love all these old acquaintances or friends who are dating, getting married, having kids or have three teens already now, making strides at their jobs, and Taking awesome vacations!! And posting this daily ...

And I can't help think to myself, What in the HELL am I doing??? Ohhh I remember. Nothing like that. Thanks anxiety! Thanks PTSD. My post is like what deal I got on an iced coffee. Or sometimes a nature pic😬🪻. True, those are both cool things. Albeit tiny when you look at most of friends' posts😨

Maybe one day I'll kick this anxiety in the freaking Ass and get going on my own wants or dreams!!! Hey it Could happen.

Yes but FB is not like it used to be. Once upon a time it was friendly, inviting, non-invasive, didn't have ads, didn't have algorithms that track your website using and feed you stuff it thinks you want to see, and collect huge volumes of data and metrics on how/when/why you use it.

Also it didn't employ a busful of nuns doing enforcement of constantly changing 'community standards', didn't have 'facebook jail', and all the other b/s.

Plus it was wound up with other products that Zuckerberg's company had acquired over the years and could be used fully independent without attempts to force you to use FB's extra services.
