And start using Twitter? No, thanks. The hostility there is far greater than FB, IMO.

You don’t have to jump from one to another :) you can just stop using Facebook

Very true! I'm currently trying to de-social network my life :). Was mostly a tounge in cheek comment because the OP was on twitter.com.

It may be due to the people I follow, but I'm not seeing this "greater hostility" on Twitter unless I go looking for it on purpose. Just like many other social media platforms I frequent, Hacker News included.

I will note in your favor, however, that I know some folks who have simply stopped reading the Twitter replies they receive for the reason you provide. I don't see how this does not apply to any other social media platform.

People generally don't make as absurdly mocking or cruel posts on Facebook as they do on Twitter.

I'd happily buy a "Facebook Free" button/shirt/gear.
