<< Thank God, there were a lot of others who engaged people who were not Trump supporters and who were in many cases not conservatives to let them know the positive things Trump wanted to do and to correct their misconceptions about him, as well as to spread the word about Hillary that the media was reluctant to report. >>
Agree. Thank God for twitter, so we could pull clever memes and bring them here to FR; thank God for YouTube for clips to share; for internet radio; for facebook where we could share and influence and encourage our undecided and waffling conservative friends.
Everyone, in today’s fight should have at a minimum:
1. A Free Republic account for community
2. A facebook account for getting and sharing information
3. A twitter account to follow trusted sources
4. An understanding of YouTube to follow sources like RSBN
Since twitter is doing poorly, someone suggested that one of the Trump family members purchase and run it. That would be awesome! We deplorables must stay engaged. No time for letting up.
Help please. I have hunted and have yet to find a facebook for dummies site that explains how to use it in terms the chat room generation can understand.
I have never, intentionally originated anything on facebook as I know my limitations. But, apparently, there are things on facebook that appear to be from me and original as they did not originate from any other site. How did they get there?
I have written things in non-facebook sites that appear on facebook. Some of them I clicked a button that said “post to facebook also”. But on many of them I explicitly did not click that button. Yet it appears on facebook anyway. And in many cases there is no obvious facebook button on the non-facebook site. Yet it appears on facebook.
This is frustrating. I am often responding to an article or post on the original site. When the post appears on facebook it lacks that context and can thus be mis-understood. That is especially true when I use figures of speech like sarcasm that seem wacko out of context.
When I go to facebook directly, a series of “posts” pops up. Mulesoft is always the 2d post. This is interesting as my yahoo email and my work email each average over 50 IT related vendors per day. Yet Mulesoft never appears on them, just on facebook. Mulesoft does not appear near the top on other people’s facebook. So why Mulesoft?
When I go on facebook directly, 90% of the posts are Christian and JudeoChristian prayers, Bible verses, etc. 40% of my internet activity is IT. 40% is politics. A little bit is humor, sports, and miscellaneous. Very little is religious. I’ll post religious (brothers keeper) to FR. But I don’t post religious to yahoo, WAPO, Huffinton, etal.
Others who post religious much more than I do, do not receive many religious posts from others.
Most of my posts (70%?) are from the same 6 or 7 people I have never heard of outside their facebook posts. They post many times per day.
I have friends who I know post politics on facebook. But their posts never reach me. I have never, ever seen a pro-Trump or pro-Cruz post on facebook. I’ve scrolled through literally hundreds of posts in a sitting.
So where can I get educated on facebook? I don’t understand it.
The problem with Twitter right now is its character limitation. No need for that in an era where people are streaming movies.
