J2112YYZ Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) There seems to be a lot of anti- Facebook sentiment in this thread. I will share some great advice from a MOTS thread on the Super Bowl halftime show provided by the esteemed J2112YYZ that I hope can be as much a help to you as it was to me that could resolve the situation and improve your life immeasurably. It was a true life changer and an incredible eye opener. To paraphrase his wise words...if you don't like it, don't use it! :mushroomcloudexplodes: I have never used social media myself. It just isn't my thing at all. I have a phone number and email I can give to people I want to stay in contact with. If that isn't good enough for them then they can f**k off. Is that too old school and behind the times? Maybe. But that's how I operate. I do understand the benefits of social media though. If you're in the entertainment world or you own a business or something and you need the public's awareness in order for you to make a living, that's fine. But just some random idiot living a regular life? Who cares? Edited October 5, 2021 by J2112YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'm not trying to catch up with the people from my past, I'm running from them. Yep, I have yet to go to any of my high school reunions, so why should I do the Facebook version of that on a daily basis?

invisible airwave Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 As long as Parler is working, I'm good.Conversely, if Parler were to have an outage, I wouldn't expect anybody to report on it. Gab and Gettr would be blamed. They're all eating each other up over their loin measuring contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddysMullet Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I wasn't fussed by the absence of Facebook itself, but I was highly unsettled when I realised how many people I talk to every day on Facebook messenger programmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather invest in FB stock than join. Glad it's more balanced politically. But I'm going to stay out of politics. No win situation. Grumpy Cat?

I haven't kept up with current hip words and phrases. Oh...it's moral grandstanding!

I get it ..... :lol:If you didn't know the term before you certainly couldn't have figured it out by inference using the thread's content, since it's a horribly poor example of that. Judging from that, the reasonable inference would be that it was some sort of pathology to introduce irrelevant topics one obsesses about into an unrelated discussion or trolling to achieve the same ends. But terms aren't always used correctly when they're not well understood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
