And we're up. Ditched Facebook. Too much duckface.

Oh good, you've come to your senses and all it required was a bit of concussion-instigated neurogenesis. After your selfless example, It should be easy to help others escape the zuckertrap... We just need to systematically concuss every Facebook user! Yes I know there are many, but distributed systems scale well. So if each of us knocks over at least two bicyclists a day, soon, the problem will seem less intractable. Thank you for your sacrifice!!

Lux, as you say, all it took was a bump to the cranium. You take the Cluebat, I'll take the Bat Car.

I miss the ability to keep in easy contact with people, but it's ceased being enjoyable.

It turns out that absence really does make the heart grow fonder for some people. Or whatever that is. I honestly don't fully understand why FB is socially so different than LJ ever was. I made many friends because of LJ, but all the FB friends I have made who I didn't know RL first I made in spite of FB being FB, not because of it.

I think part of the difference is the speed in which people are forced to engage on FB: moving newsfeed, high volume, people don't spend long either writing a post, or commenting. The critical mass also creates a kind of social lock-in.

This suits FB, and people grow used to it and don't expect or think about alternatives. Unless they were around a little earlier, and/or they don't care.

nice to see you again! lj is a lot emptier these days, at least in my circles, but i can't abandon ship entirely.

Thanks, tree. Yeah, it's a lot quieter. Glad there's a few of us left over from before the Russian invasion. :)
