It was very useful for helping President Trump before the election, and has been great for supporting him since.
We really beat their @sses this week with the "covfefe" thing, and over London.
I liken Twitter to the Napoleonic Wars - your side need to keep up a steady stream of musket fire, inaccurate though it may be. The massed weight of the fire will usually determine the outcome of the clash.
Every once in a while, a lucky or well-timed shot will lay low one of the leaders on either side.
Creeps me out that newer electronic gadgets are listening everywhere, and FB is into every one of them.
I started my FB page almost a decade ago as a way to leave a bit of a legacy for my son to explore someday. He’s eleven and lives several states away with his mother. We barley spend 2 weeks together each year. I’m old enough to be his grandfather and may never gain full custody. When I had cancer, I wasn’t sure I’d be around much longer, so if the Internet is truly forever, he’ll someday be able to get to know me by my footprints.
As a musician I find it’s a good way to stay in touch with friends and peers all over the world. A lot of them are nutty liberals but, if they keep it on their homepage and not on mine, I see it as a 1st amendment right. Post it on my page and I remove it. Post it again and you get the unfriend graphic.
I use FB and LinkedIn to promote and advocate for my music therapy group at the VA hospital. More and more, social media has become my alternative to reading obituaries - I shudder to think of the friends I’ve lost that I wouldn’t even know about without FB. It’s seldom an everyday thing, but I do cherish many of the old friends that have emerged from the mist of time. All in all, there are more reasons to maintain a presence than not.
Reading this topic looks like conservatives have simply surrendered social media to the libs, but voices like Matt Bracken (FReeper Travis McGee) and others cancel out hundreds of clueless loonie snowflakes.
If your purpose is to remain “below the radar”, FB is not the place to do it.
I joined back when you needed an .edu email address to use it.
I signed up to FB strictly to keep in touch with family. I’ve gradually expanded my use. I follow topics that interest me. I’ve met new friends. It’s been good for me.
