Fuck them. I disabled my facebook and have made more of an effort to spend free time outdoors. It's definitely made me happier. I couldn't have done it in the US though. Too many girls think its "creepy" if you're not on facebook there.
I didn't delete it, I'll probably re-activate it eventually, but that site has gone downhill. I'm trying to start a movement of disengaging from social media in general. So far the movement consists of only me, the homeless guy who lives by me, and his dog. It's going to grow though. Trust me.

FB is a feminist and female oriented application. That Lean In bitch is (or was) one of their execs. Zuckerberg is balless and will let these shrill harridans run roughshod over him.
FB is bad for playas. If you try juggling more than one bitch, one of them is bound to ask for or find your FB account and start posting pics of you together - drama ensues. Plus you don't want your family seeing your revolving door of bitches.
Not to mention the attention whoring that FB enables. It seems to bring out the hidden manginaism and white knightism in guys too.
I'm this close to deleting my FB account. I have one primarily to stay in touch with family and some high school chums. I rarely post anything. But I think I'm through.
Or maybe tonight I will explore all the privacy options, and tighten it down as much as I can. Then I can tell girls I don't do FB, and they won't be able to find my account though my email or whatever.
Take care of those titties for me.

I agree with the above posters. Facebook has seriously gone downhill. I actually permanently deleted my account recently, not because of it becoming a detriment to getting women or because of trends similar to the one posted in the OP, but because they were sharing my information with other companies and starting to become a threat to my security. This is another issue with facebook that is starting to get worse and worse.
Recently, my facebook profile picture popped up as my email account profile picture without any prompt from me or previous linkage between those two accounts. WTF? Also, it seemed like every time I looked something up on google, similar ads would pop up on facebook shortly after. These are just a couple instances of the suspicious connections that facebook is creating with other sites. Facebook has obviously resorted to pimping out and sharing everybody's info with other companies in order to turn a few bucks. That is not a site I want to have an account on or be related to in any way. This combined with other recent facebook trends was the straw that broke the camels back for me. Besides, it can also be a huge time waster and most of the people posting are just attention whores fishing for likes anyways.

ROK is going on back-to-back 30 day suspensions. The most recent one was from a post that was over a year old.
Thing about FB is that they are actually showing less of your posts to the people who liked your page. So even with 8000 likes, about 15% of them while even see your post anyway (about 1000). It just doesn't make sense to spend so much time promoting your FB page only for that to happen. Also with the suspensions, I can't say the blog is seeing decreased hits.

I have minimal info on FB and no pictures. I only use it to look at 3 pages I liked and that is it.

The thing with Facebook is that it subtly puts people into little bubbles. If you openly disagree with someone on your friends list, (unless they are close) you can bet that person feels slighted, and may even unfriend you, because the only real reason regular posters post is for validation. So they whittle down all their acquaintances and build a persona that is most "likable." This mindset extends to the comment sections of most major websites now.
What this means societally is that EVERYONE believes they are right all the time. They rationalize that if they were wrong, none of their friends would parrot back the same shit. This is how all these Social Justice Warriors and irrational clowns were created...They are only truly "friends" with other, "likeminded" people who will revalidate or repost them.
Twitter mainly serves to destroy sources and turn everything into a game of "telephone." People with no ideas of their own "follow" celebrities who pay "publicists" to recycle played out jokes from paperback jokebooks. This works on dullards who have trouble breathing and chewing at the same time.
I don't have the stats in front of me, but I've seen pretty startling numbers in regards to traffic on Twitter and Facebook, something like 80% of everything that goes on is done solely by women. It isn't inherently feminist, but they are absolutely feminine structures at this point.

I sense Facebook is screwed. It's better than Myspace, so, its lasted a lot longer and retained its popularity for the most part, but this age is characterized by fads. And at the end of the day, facebook is a fad. It's already bleeding users due to competition, privacy concerns, and the fact that its not weird not to have it anymore. If I had deleted my facebook in school, it would have hurt my ability to connect with people considerably, but now, not so much.
This is all happening at the same time that their net worth is sky high and the urgency to turn Facebook's users into money for their company is pressing. It's a catch-22 for Facebook though, because commercializing the website drives more users away.
I foresee impending upheaval in Facebook's future, but I'm no expert, so, don't take my opinion too seriously.

I stay on it to keep in touch with bunch of old college friends and some long-distance family members. I never post.
Once someone else figures out a better way to keep circles of old friends in touch, Facebook is screwed. Censorship is not what most people signed up for.
There needs to be a sort of "homegrown" Pirate Bay-like alternative to Facebook. The kind of place where you sign on knowing things can be offensive, but that's the breaks. Had they had this kind of policy at the outset, I bet the whiners wouldn't have whined. Let people complain and they will. Tell them they can't and they wont.

Couldn't we just do the exact same thing and have a bunch of us report Jezebel's and other feminist websites posts saying that they are offensive to a lot of different groups etc etc and get their shit taken down too? Or would that not work because their ideas are considered more politically correct?

I would think itll work if we had the numbers they do. I dont assume facebook bothers verifying the bans. Maybe the big name feminists like big name everything else will be whitelisted, but we can easily go for the smaller ones.
But the feminists, even more if you add the whiteknights and simps, outnumber us by a large margin. Not to mention they are more likely to be/go on fb in the first place. They are also far more likely to report shit(they do it as a standard because they have no lives, while we would only do it as a "raid")

That site is unreadable now. It used to be I could find out what my friends were up to. Now I find out what buzzfeed and upworthy articles they are wasting their time on.
I've also discovered after commenting and sharing articles from other weird sites I like that no one actually reads anything they post, just the titles.
Now when I go on, I don't even see what BS articles my friends like, but what BS articles that one guy I met that one time five years ago likes.

It's been said before, but I'll say it again:
Fuck Facebook and it's constant stream of fake fuckers posting 'positive' memes (when they're negative as fuck in real life), them charging for your actual FANS to even see your post and their clear cut bias and censorship.
I don't use my personal FB, deactivated that shit a long time ago and it's been for the better.
As far as my fan page, surprised they haven't given me a ban yet due to the topless slut pictures I post.

Facebook is very leftist friendly. Many pro-2A sites have been suspended or shut down by FB.
This is common among media companies. Google Shopping will gladly let you find the lowest price on anal lube, but God forbid you want to price shop a Glock 19.

I permanently deleted my account a few months ago. I should have done it long before.
It's not surprising Facebook decided to censor him. Tom Leykis is a true man and remained so even when it was most unpopular.
I remember feminists going insane when Leykis was probably the only person at the time to publicly defend the Duke Lacrosse players from the false rape accusations and called for the accuser's punishment.
While her anonymity was being protected, he discovered her name and repeated it like 100 times during a show. The only reason I remember her name after all these years was because he was reading an article on air and slowly repeated “Crystal Gail Mangum” every time the article wrote “the accuser.”
He did this in many other high-profile rape and sexual assault cases as well and said either the names of the accused should also be protected or all names should be public.
