I've left Facebook.

Truth be told my recent move has reduced my Putting Up With Shit threshold to zero. If something provides more stress than benefit I'm afraid it gets cut right out these days. There's precious little time in the day as it is; spending any of it on things I don't enjoy doing makes less and less sense.

99% of the people I interacted with there were fine - nice, even. However in the last two years I have also encountered trolls, impostors, and in one case, someone pretending to be someone else in order to physically threaten me. And I'm simply not in a place where I have either the tolerance or time to deal with any of that any longer.

So, if you were one of the nice ones, I'm sorry to tar you all with the same brush. It's simply that once the friend counter hits the several thousands a certain amount of time is spent each day curating. This is why I don't have comments on the blog, incidentally - between writing and having a Real Job there is no time left for wheat/chaff sorting.

And it's only a social networking site after all. Contrary to popular belief Facebook, Twitter et al. will not change the world.
