I used to be addicted to Facebook but ever since I joined Nairaland, I only visit Facebook once a day. This has nothing to do with patriotism but simply because I've already learned so much and I'm still learning here on Nairaland. To some extent, Nairaland has improved my intellect more than Facebook.
But there are a few things Nairaland should learn from Facebook. One of them is the absence of DELETE. Why can't we completely delete any post we don't need or probably posted by mistake or in a wrong section? I only dislike Nairaland for this. Seun and co pls take note.

100% true, this days i rarely fb. With nairaland you can't go wrong, it is now my first hand information for news and about your last paragraph i hope they do something about it.

For me, I no even dey Facebook again. If I feel the need to be on any 'social media', it's strictly Nairaland.

I hope you remember this is a discussion forum.
You post something, someone quotes and responds to it. Then you delete it rendering the other person's post useless and meaningless.

In some CMS like WordPress, they have some plug-ins that only allow people to edit their comments within two minutes of posting. After that, you can't edit again. But on nairaland, you can edit after months.

I agree nairaland will be better if it had a delete button

I also agree with that

Seriously, Nairaland is it for me.
These days, I only tend to visit facebook for the fun of attending to piled-up notifications.
Nairaland, though stupid sometimes, has totally gotten my attention.
The tension and anxiety of being able to post on the front page, coupled with it being a faceless forum adds to the fun of it all.
.
If we are to compare NL to twitter however, I think Twitter would have been much more fun if only Nigerians actually participate more actively on there!.
.
To those seeking for the availability of a delete button, however, in as much as I'd always anticipated for such features, I think someone made it pretty clear enough - it won't work, in the advent of the post already being quoted, thereby rendering it redundant once deleted...or yet still, quoting a non-active post would be totally out of it!.

Nairaland is my second bible. I can't shout

But I'm more addicted to whatsapp more than the two. That is where I passed message across to almost all my contacts in much easier and cheaper way.
