The Wizard has been off facebook for more than a year and a half

Turn off facebook

It has been more than a year and a half since I have been off facebook. It was like crack to me. That said, I no longer miss it, the drama, and the advertisements. Here's to another year and a half!

Here are some reasons I think you should quit facebook along with me:

  1. Privacy concerns: Facebook has been criticized for mishandling user data and allowing third-party apps to access personal information.

  2. Time management: Facebook can be a major distraction and time-waster, taking up valuable time that could be spent on other activities.

  3. Negative impact on mental health: Studies have found that excessive social media use, including Facebook, can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness.

  4. Comparison culture: Facebook can perpetuate a culture of comparison, where people constantly compare their lives to others and feel inadequate.

  5. Online harassment: Facebook can be a breeding ground for cyberbullying and online harassment, which can have a negative impact on mental health and well-being.

  6. Political polarization: Facebook has been criticized for contributing to political polarization and the spread of misinformation.

  7. Addiction: Facebook, like other social media platforms, can be addictive and lead to compulsive use.

Ultimately, the decision to quit Facebook is a personal one and depends on your individual circumstances and priorities.
