FB allowed this saying it was within their guidelines regarding humor/satire.
Which is why they've been dead to me for years. There's more to it on my home computer.
I have never ever posted on Facebook. Never will.
I pretty much regard a Facebook dweller as not too sharp. Some of my siblings use it for family contacts, but sorry, using Facebook denotes a weak mind.
Deleted my account. It expires 12/8/2020. Fuck Zuck
Someone pointed out that it is a good source of intelligence on what the enemy are doing and up to.
Don’t comment. Just observe and note.
Me? I have an account but don’t have the time. Too busy with other things.
I use it mainly for interests like travel, local history, NHL and MLB and Hollywood nostalgia, being connected with former high school classmates, and showcasing items (magazines, pictures, newspapers) recovered from the old family homestead. Therefore, people whose “read at your own discretion” posts that are DU material are simply ignored on my part.
Cannot quit what was never started.
Several years ago I joined for a few weeks and discovered they had access to my Hotmail address book, which was something I denied them access too. I considered this to be very intrusive and quit the account. I do not miss it.
It is such a great way to gather information on the citizenry. The short time I was a member, I went to the pages of some I knew, and a few gave their entire day’s activities. Some forecast their travels so a thief would know when no one was home. Just plain stupid.
Been there done that. It’s easy to do. Found myself sitting there for an hour scrollong through the nonsense one day and just cut it cold. Never ever looked back.
I was on for a year or 2. I quit over 5 years ago. Just Linkedin now.
I still have Facebook. Mostly to keep in touch with friends and family who live far away, look at cute animal pictures, and post dank memes....
Parler demands my cell phone number in order to make an account.
No thanks.
Oh, and I did set up a Parler account. It is more like Twitter to me. I did delete my Twitter account, I only had one to see other posts. I did set up MeWe quite awhile ago, but still there is not much is on it yet.
The place to be is theDonald.win
Bugged out a long time ago!
Let’s be honest: no one is using Facebook for anything more than bragging to people they knew 20+ years ago. The idea that we’re using it to “keep in touch with people we know/knew” is bull. Most folks can count on one hand the number of people they consider a close friend. Maintaining social ties to someone you met once at a Halloween party in 1998 isn’t “keep(ing) in touch with people (you) know.”
Facebook is a disease. Social media in general is a psychological pathology. It feeds society’s narcissism and voyeurism. We don’t care that Barb from accounting at a job we held 15 years ago is doing in Cabo with her ex-husband’s brother. We don’t really “like” that our sister-in-law crocheted a sweater for her pocket pup. We don’t really wish Paul, the local tire store owner’s kid, a “happy birthday.” It’s all meaningless drivel.
Let’s go back to immediate, nuclear family ties and like-minded neighborly friendships. Let’s stop pretending to be social and actually be social in our communities and our churches. Facebook was an idea that morphed into an advertising platform where YOU are the product. Cut off the spigot. Just stop with the disingenuous social disease that is Facebook and go back to meaningful, significant social interaction.
My understanding is that the counterparts to the leftist social media are as follows:
Fakebook: MeWe
Twitter: Parler
YouTube: Rumble
The author is equating Parler as a conservative-friendly counterpart to Fakebook, but from what I have read he should actually be referring to MeWe as a similar, alternative platform.
I am not sure about this. I am not on either Fakebook or MeWe. I have never signed up for Twitter but am on Parler. I am not subscribed to YouTube but have subscribed to Rumble.
I deactivated my Facebook account last week. I will miss family, friends, Cold War Vets and Old Woodworking Machine groups, but I refuse to do anything to support or give approval to Herr Zuckerberg’s 4th Reich!
Parler is no Facebook, but it is at least it supports freedom of speech.
I have watched MEWE for about a year. It appears that the Anti-Trump troll farm is now very active there. Sad.
There are some good sites on Facebook. Facebook is where I go to find out where Stop the Steal rallies are taking place.
Unfortunately, they allow sluts to advertise there.
