Farcebook is evil.

For six years my brother and I ran a bluegrass jam. We maintained an email announce list of approximately 350 parties. In 2015 we were sidelined when I lost my van, along with all our gear in a traffic accident.

Some others reconstituted the jam and we gave them our email list in the hopes that it would again be a success. The decided against using email for announcements in favor of a Farcebook page (passive announcements).

I asked “What about those of us who aren’t Farcebook users?” and got a quizzical look. “Who doesn’t have Facebook?!” was the reply.

“Conservatives” was my reply. I got a “rollseyes” and a shrug of the shoulders in response.

“Who doesn’t have Facebook?!”

Those who, like me, did not comply when FB demanded an image of a passport or drivers license.

I went to an event with a wife and husband singing and playing guitars. During a break I asked how I could contact them. They game me their card that only had their facebook link. No phone number. No email.

There are people who believe everyone is on facebook and don't even bother to use any other means to reach or contact people.

Since I don't have a facebook account, I never contacted them.

Why would anyone limit themselves only to facebook?
