Facebook, for me, is a way to keep in touch with the friends and relatives I rarely see, and I probably open it once a day. It's not a place for opinions. I have never been interested in pretentious people, and yes, the odd one reveals themselves there (and you can mute them) but it's more interesting to watch the people that make or do interesting things. And during lockdown, when I was in Australia, I had a few senior friends tell me how much they enjoyed my photos, so I felt like I was doing some community service, but I also pointed a few to Hive for more photos and more in depth articles. Still, Facebook is creepy and you know they sell your data and they are trying to profile every one of us.
I did not feel that I have made any bond on Facebook. I often noticed people wanting to add other people just to spy or have something to comment about their lives. It is a scroll through place with little care about people's emotions. What was more disturbing was the massive difference between online and real life. Some people were plain straight deluding themselves and others on Facebook . Their real self was totally different. Overall I felt more anxious and uncomfortable there than in here
Facebook is pretty much for my family now. I don't interact regularly with anyone else. I dropped everyone on my list except for lifelong friends and my immediate family. I just think that place is too crazy otherwise.
Well this is a good way of limiting your time spent in there. Keeping just family is cool, I would not see any reasons for wanting to share private photos with anybody else
Exactly. Also, the places I've worked at use platforms like Facebook to search for material that goes against company policy. Even if you restrict material to prevent non-friends from viewing a lot of times you can find that data from regular Google searches.
Another reason to stay off of it.
