I haven't used facebook since... about 2013 Q1. I stopped using it more or less organically, just by looking for social life in other places (and by having less social life, actually). I thought that there wasn't much harm in having it open, but a few days ago I finally got fed up and deleted the account. I didn't bother downloading my data or anything.

Unfortunately I don't see myself getting rid of Whatsapp any time soon. For the vast majority of people around me, it's the only means of communication they will use (aside from face to face, of course). I'm sad that people would not use email for personal communication any more, but I guess that my preferences have become obsolete.
