> which I'm going to do as soon as I get my new personal website/blog set up
I understand why you want a replacement for updating friends and family, but that's a really effortful barrier you're placing in front of deleting Facebook. For this reason you will find it way harder. And it's already harder than you think.
Take any and all barriers away from ditching FB. They are your mind tricking you into staying.
Fair point. But it's not a pipe dream. I've already registered the domain name, stood up the VPC for the new site, configured DNS, installed Apache httpd, and configured the base VirtualHost. So progress is happening. All that's left is installing a blog engine (probably Roller), creating the landing page content for the static part, and create a cert using let's encrypt.
But again, your point is valid. Probably I need to set a "drop dead" date and tell myself "if this new site isn't up by Jan 31 (or whatever), then I'm killing FB anyway".
