Daniel, I missed fecebook when I first deleted my account in 2000, but now like a recovering addict consider myself fecebook-free for 4 years. (maybe I'll get a triangle tat with a 4 in it:) I missed a lot of friends from there, but were they? Those that I was quite close to connected by e-mail and I occasionally get response from them. The others are just digital manifestations that I thot were friends. I did find a half-sister that I lost contact with for 40 years and have since visited her and keep in touch by fone & e-mail. Before leaving, I discovered a very loving, liberal friend I knew from the '70s had become a MAGAt with her new husband so blocked her just as I did with any tRump supporter I knew IRL.

Oh, I have also been twit free-for 2 years and never missed it. My only social net now is MeWe and wish ppl & agencies would stop linking to fecebook & twit as if everyone is still wading in those cesspools.
