My Facebook Suspension Became A Life Sentence, And I’m Okay With That

Facebook has deactivated me permanently, and I’m okay with that.

There is the occasional twinge while trying to avoid doing the work I’m supposed to be doing because i can’t check in on what certain of my friends are up to on Facebook, but that’s offset by the large amount of free time and headspace I now have during the day that I hadn’t had before the banishment.

I still have no idea what triggered the ban, and I really don’t care anymore.

The most regrettable casualty of my life sentence was my book’s Facebook page. It was fun interacting with people who have enjoyed my book over the years, and those who had just discovered it for the first time. And now that is gone, without the opportunity to say goodbye to them. But by this time, most of them know where to find me online

Life goes on and there are other (and better) ways to connect with like-minded people these days.
