The Long Goodbye (To Facebook)

I took a Facebook vacation about a year ago. It became a long break. And now it is a permanent vacation. Why? Because I don’t need it and don’t miss it. I left, not because of the company’s dodgy approach to privacy, data accumulation or its continued denial of its impact on shaping modern society. I left because it was making me someone I am not — someone who lives life through the eyes of others. There is a hard edge in Facebook life. People are always fronting — putting their best life forward. Just like startup life these days.The Long Goodbye (To Facebook){:target=”_blank”}

No single decision I've made in the last year has had a more positive effect on my life than deleting my Facebook account. I'm down to checking in on Instagram every 2 or 3 days and I think before the end of the year I will have deleted the app from my phone (I've already moved it off my home screen).

I write a newsletter every two-four weeks. I'll let you decide if it’s any good but people seem to stay on. In fact, thousands of smart people incl. designers from Amazon, IDEO, Figma and Shopify are subscribers.

It is not always the most entertaining, nor the most educational.
