Thing is though, i probably would've benefitted from not going on for a day.

"Quit Facebook Day" Flops
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
I made an account on FaceBook back when MySpace was still the dominant social network site. I logged in twice or something, then I deleted it. I don't want to use social networking out of principle, I don't think I should support something that aids things like gossip and exposure of private lives.
The main reason it flopped was lack of publicity. I know of Facebook's continuos privacy problems and I can understand a rise of quitters, but I have never heard of this until now.
Well I sort of participated. I haven't been on my Facebook account in over four monthes.

I heard of "Quit Facebook" day just yesterday, my sister mentioned it, but, I never signed up to facebook or any of those sites, I find them useless and don't need to go on such sites.
I have a facebook i'll admit that. However i'm rarely on that account mainly because I'm here every day and the escapist always takes up my internet time so even if this day was advertised somewhere i wouldn't have known about it.
Lol, I had no idea it was, otherwise I would have considered it. Very briefly, as I use it to promote shows for my band with quite a bit of success. But the thought would have lingered for a few seconds, this I know.
Well I would say the logic is, if you want to quit, do, you don't need a special day to do so. If you don't like there privacy policies then you can quit any time, I see no reason you'd have to wait for a specific day to do so.
Note here that I don't actually have a facebook account, so my reasoning is secondhand.

I'm not quitting Facebook for it but if the #Donaldforspiderman thing works, I'm quitting life in general.
As for the privacy thing on FB, it only has what you give out. If you don't want people to know where you are or what you are doing, don't post it. If you want to set something up with someone on there message them, don't make a wall post. I haven't been using it very long, but I have used it to touch, I mean get in touch with a lot of girls I haven't seen since High School.
Then again, by blaming Facebook, the people involved don't have to take any responsibility for their actions which fits in perfect with people today.

If i'd have known in advance i would have quit by now ;D
I'd do it right now, but that'd require me to log into facebook and i really can't be bothered. I never use the thing, it's just an annoyance that spams me with emails because 1000 people i don't know think i want to be their friend.
