I feel justified having never had a Facebook account and was never even tempted because I had no interest. The people I value I phone and stay in contact with and everyone else is not important. Most people do not care what you are doing so why bother keeping them in the loop. This is a fake type of recognition and people are gullible to believe others care and want to know.
Those that really matter I have phone numbers or emails to make contact, used to pop into FB briefly once a week to check messages from overseas.
Never used phone App for Messenger or other as my late husband did. Super fake lifestyle online, not exactly who people are.
