Last year I was sick of Facebook! This came to me not only because of fake news, hate speech and all those companies with the like and win actions you see passing by. Because I was tired of this for a very long time, but someone around me made the decisive factor. I was not judged as a person, but what I did on Facebook. Not much actually, I don't show much like my friends list. In my view, that is meant for me and in my view I do not show my address book to the neighbor either. Now you can say you take that person off your friends list, but unfortunately this person is too close and since it is family by marriage. Can't I just throw her off, because I'm sadly hurting my husband with it, and I certainly didn't want to.

That's why I deleted Facebook last year. Only then did the Coronavirus come along, which caused a distance between people. So after a few weeks in this crisis, I thought to apply for this social media again. That was a little more difficult than thought, because I had to apply 4 times and was not immediately blocked. My side of the family, good friends and a few good acquaintances or people of the Photo Group I added again. I think I have, like, 50 boyfriends, and that's a little different than a couple hundred. I must also say I like not having so many friends on Facebook.

Now that we're a few weeks later, I can be found online every now and then and I do ask myself. Did I miss something or not? The answer is that I see 75% of nonsensical things pass by and sometimes a nice shot or photo pass by. I also hide a lot of things, so I don't get to see these things anymore and of course I also share a photo from time to time. In this respect, after a few months no Facebook in my life started to develop a completely different view on social media.

Until next time,

Quirina
