so it seems.

so is 'I've got y'all beat', which would at least require you to not be on facebook anymore.

A few months ago, I visited MySpace just out of curiosity.

Remarkably, the people who are still active in it look exactly like the people who were active on it in 2007. Scene kids (well, adults, actually) still exist in remote, uncontacted areas of the globe.

I imagine that bands like I Set My Friends on Fire, Blood on the Dancefloor, and UnderOath still use it to reach their target audience.

These people must be like Fuzzy, except their emotional development halted ten years after his did.

The Matthews of the next decade will wax nostalgic about the good old days of Fortnite, SoundCloud mumble rappers, the unparalleled comedic genius of Rick and Morty, and the convenient nutrition provided by bottles of Soylent.

all this archaic technology talk is reminding me of that one fanfic i never finished on the computer-crasher known as geocities. i was like a page away from 14 or so pages of it and never found it again. still haunts me, like the totality of my prepubescence.

I still have FB Messenger so PM me the baby pics!!! I don't want to miss them

Last year I deleted my Twitter account. Twitter did nothing but make me mad at the world.

I found with FB that i would open the app on my phone as kind of pacifier or distraction. And on top of that the ads were making me angry.

I have a couple of Slack Groups I participate in. A couple of bulletin boards. And my closest queer girl friend group has a regular group text going every day. I don't need FB to keep track of the people that I want to keep track of.

I do worry I'll lose track of a few bands and stuff that I followed on FB. However, I use Bands In Town now to alert me to my fav bands when their in DC.

I feel beyond honored that your profile still has that turtle quote. I quit Facebook 2 months ago and haven`t bought any sneakers yet. I`m so proud. I compensate this loss by baking every second day.

If there was an app or website used by the majority of bands that announced new music/tours, I would ditch FB in a heartbeat.

I hear you. I deactivated my FB account last year, and have solved my lack of band/other news problem by setting up a fake FB account.

It's everything I love about Facebook, memes and band info and no friends and family

ovary · 02-08-2019, 08:18 PM

maybe i should do that. i hate fb but check it constantly and dont want to delete because a lot of local politics in my bumfuck county happens there.

ovary · 02-08-2019, 08:20 PM

and music and local businesses and events i wouldnt know about otherwise. FB is actually kind of nice out here because our local media is nonexistent/run by people fucking everyone over.
