 Question

I was, haven't been on there in a long time. Some of my family members started getting on my case about Mom, I told them to f**k off as I was genuinely doing my best for her and I haven't gone there since.

I haven't been on there in a couple years.
I don't miss it.
Such an influx of moronic s**t. I found no use for it.

I signed up in 2009, deleted my account 6 months later, signed up again in 2010.

I have always been indifferent with Facebook. I'm not the social media type, I don't like to be the center of attention, I don't really need a platform for my musings, opinions  and whatever. I used to follow celebs and music artists that Interest me but unfollowed all because it got boring. I usually don't do groups, but I did join a 1980s music group a few months ago. It was fun first but got repetitive fast because people post the same popular 1980s songs over and over.

I used to list my favorite movies until one day I noticed Facebook was promoting the Point Break remake with my name attached in mine and my friends feed. It said I like the 2015 Point Break and it is hitting theaters soon. Facebook swapped the 1991 Point Break from my list and replaced it with the remake. I was p**sed. I tried to delete it from my list but Facebook wouldn't allow it because it was part of an ad I think? I then tried to block the Point Break remake Facebook page but couldn't again. Then I changed all my likes to private, which seemed to work as the Point Break remake ad with my name didn't show anymore. After that I deleted everything from my likes and profile. It wasn't until 3 months later I was finally able to delete the Point Break remake from my likes, which was the last remaining title. I've kept my profile and likes empty ever since because of Facebooks odd manipulations. They pulled the same stunt with the Ghostbusters remake one year later.

I don't really have much use for Facebook except for keeping in touch with longtime friends from the states. Most of the people I know personally don't use Facebook anymore, everybody is on WhatsApp.

(ya'll can like that second one if you'd like)

I resisted for a long time, but I needed to get on for 366 Weird Movies. Twitter, too. Now I check it out every weekday during lunch. It does allow me to connect/interact with a couple of old friends I would fall away from without it. The key is to not respond to every stupid post/comment you see or you'll drive yourself crazy!

I am on it. Mostly for keeping in touch with friends and family around the world. I think I more often post memories up than actual new stuff though.

Yes.  I can keep in touch with family and most people I know all in one place.  I have a page for my business and a couple for  volunteer organisations I am involved in.  Works for me.    🤷

I'm very active there, doing my part to bust the chops of those who post lies and conspiracy theories, promoting my books, keeping up with family and former students, and liking almost every picture of cats and snakes that gets posted!

I miss peeps like Rev, Newt, Indy, AHD, Alex, Barri on FB where I can post funny stuff but I can do that here too.

Of late, a friend of a friend on there - no one from here - attacked me personally. This person said "You should not disparage the day that the former apartheid country of South Africa found unity in the game of rugby in 1995: you should also chill out and stop being such a pedantic smarty"  Buggedout

I can't believe I just typed all that out: I was showing how inaccurate the movie Invictus was regarding the events that led to SA winning the 1995 Rugby World Cup, not the actual events on that wonderful day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_Rugby_World_Cup_Final

That made me feel I didn't want to be on FB much anymore so I left not long after.

f**k all them.

I once out of boredom ran all the names of my former classmates through Facebook. Not a single one showed up. I tried the same with childhood friends, only one showed up. He had moved away many years ago, was married and had children. I didn't contact him. Years later I found out that most of my former classmates use a place called stayfriends.de. Out of curiosity I signed up with a fake name just to see who was there. I had tons of friends when I was in school, but not one of them was from my class. Weird huh? I was only contacted once for our 10 year reunion. I never went to any reunions. When I was finished with school it was a closed chapter, and since I wasn't close friends with any of my classmates, why bother?

I'm on it. Basically I use it as a bulletin board to post stuff I think is cool/funny/interesting. No religion, no politics, and for damn sure nothin' about my job.

If hackers/identity thieves are gonna get hold of my personal info from FB, all they're gonna find out is what albums I listened to while walking my dog.
