    It’s weird how difficult it is to leave Facebook if you want to stay connected. None of the alternatives has enough traction that you could recreate your social network on there and get the thing that Facebook was originally made for: keeping in touch with people you know.

      I solved this by just texting the folks I know to keep in touch. If They dont text back, then it wasnt really a relationship worth having was it

      I swear some folks only keep you around on social media so you can upvote(or whatever) on thier posts.

        If everyone was doing that I’d be isolated as fuck because without a lot of opportunities I just forget about others…

        Yes and no, I believe. That’s what it was used for and advertised on campus, but the hook was having a virtual copy of the yearbook, so you could connect with people that you would have otherwise only seen at reunions after college was over.
