"They’re clearly addicted to Facebook. It’s become the cringiest of the cringe."

I never did Facebook, Instagram, etc. My sister-in-law has been on Facebook for a long time. She used to complain about all the crap people posted to her on Facebook. I told her to get rid of it. "Oh, I keep it to keep track of my grandchildren." She lived across the street from them, and now lives in her daughter's house with them. She used to be normal until she began watching The View every day. Now her own daughter can't stand talking to her. She''s argumentative all the time. I only see her when I go to visit them. They're my brother's family. He passed in 1995.

I tried Parler when Trump got kicked off of Twitter, thinking he might end up there. Then they knocked Parler off the internet. I then signed up for Gab, and Gettr for a while. Trump never showed on either of them. I didn't join Truth Social initially because you could only access it from your phone, and I don't do that crap, so waited until they allowed you to join via your laptop. I wasn't on it very long, and quit all of them. I found them to be a waste of my time. I'd rather sit and read a book, which I do every day. I've usually got four hardback/paperback books going at once. Then I read from two others at night on my Kindle before I go to bed. I don't watch any TV until 8 p.m. or so. Been here for 26 years and counting. This is the only social site I need.

Good on ya. .Facebook sucks, big time. So does most of the rest of the social media stuff. I do enjoy Reddit, though. I mean, there’s something for everyone!

I too am much happier reading books. Fell in love with the Little House books in my childhood and have loved reading ever since.
