Nuking Facebook: 30 days later, the fallout

JMH · Aug 30, 2014

A month ago I did the unthinkable. I quit Facebook. There’s a lot you might learn from my experience, even if you never follow me.

I didn’t bail in a pique over privacy or ethically questionable emotion experiments. I was fed up with the time-wasting inconsistency of a news feed that

Facebook algorithmically displays in everything but a true reverse-chronological order of all friends’ status updates. Not everyone agreed. “You’re out of touch,” one reader scolded. “Continue to whine about how you’re entitled,” another admonished. “You’ll never guess what happens next!!!” a third exclaimed thrice.

But as I pulled the plug, I experienced enlightenment of a sort worth sharing with no Like button attached.
