On the third time FB changed my privacy settings, I left. Had to google to find out how (not trivial).
On Quora, I've had a few nice exchanges on matters that matter, but a continued bombing of my inbox lame questions like "My son is playing with himself. What should I do?" is seriously driving me in the direction of leaving.
I've got a tiny and very quite ecosystem running on Twitter; to keep it there, I'm very quick to mute jerks, and those who follow me who clearly engage in useless tweets. But, even there, the value to noise ratio is on a downward slope.
I don't even engage in any of the other platforms. I'm busy building a new kind of social network which is fully open source.
