Views on FB.

[Cou]

well, it's real life. I see it as a reality check. I mean I use my laptop to go on forums, tumblr, and you know, fun stuff. Then I go on Facebook and I remember all the reasons I tried to stay away from it. It really is tiring but also great to know whatsup with other people I rarely talk to but still kinda care about. But some of them are literally tmi. Facebook isn't something I go on a daily basis, or check even, I only open it when I get a notifation from it (and sometimes I don't even reply on there just because I don't wanna go on it again) but at the same time, I don't wanna delete. But it's really boring to me now.

I use Facebook quite a bit for information sharing and getting in touch with people via PM, but I never share anything relevant of my life on it... And most people on my friendlist I am not following haha. So I don't see what they post. Especially the selfie hos and attention seekers and the people who post a status every 10 secs.
My biggest pet peeve about FB is that you can't make your likes and comments on page contents or external content private. It's up to your friends to decide if they see your likes and comments on that sort of content, and that's just wrong. It keeps me from liking or commenting some articles often, because I don't want certain people on my friendlist to see it and I have no way to know if they are following my content or not...

I don't think they'll even bother reading, lol. They're trying to justify their statements by saying they can say what they're saying because some long lost relative on their dad's side was black. If that's the case, that relative must be rolling over tenfold hearing you spout your ignorance. It's like a tiny Klan meeting in that one status. Any voice of reason is met with an "Lol, omg, you didn't even read what I said. I'm indifferent to racism. We're all the same. We all bleed red!!!111 <3333 Racism hurts me too." I just want to be like how? How does it hurt you? It's killing me not saying anything. But I know once I start, I won't stop. There's horror stories in my family involving the KKK; my dad's a racist. I'm bi-racial dating a bi-racial guy; he wants to have kids. I don't want to bring a kid into a world like this when we get stared at by people when we go to the freakin' iHop. Racism isn't something you sweep under the rug and hope it goes away. Neither is sexism or any of those ugly -isms or -phobias. By acting indifferent, you're not helping anyone. You're not this big saint for saying you're colorblind to people and 'so over racism.' You're keeping yourself in the dark. It's just ughhhh. UGH. I don't even know why I care so much over the stupidity of this one person who I haven't seen since highschool over a stupid status on a stupid website; it was like a slap to the face though. It made it worse that some of my actual friends joined in and to know that's how they actually think makes me sad. I was always taught to stand up for what's right and this girl is saying that the best way to stand up against bad is to sit down and ignore it because "We're all the same at the end of the day."

Let me get my chubby butt off my soap box because at the end of the day, it's a stupid status and my being upset about it and the other people trying to be the voice of reason aren't going to change any minds of people set in their passive aggressive ways.

I'm glad I'm not alone. I really am. I don't know why I get worked up over things like this. I just do.

It's weird because it is for older people it seems like. My mum's FB is more active than mine, lol. But I don't have many friends to begin with so that might be why.

I hate the "we all bleed red" saying because it's not their blood in the history books all the time. I hate when people say they go through the same experiences as me, like no you don't. You don't grow up hating your culture and identity, you don't grow up with names and jokes about your heritage. A joke about you liking starbucks is not the same as my people being killed. That's not the same and it won't ever be the same. We don't have the same pain. It's basically telling someone who went through a lot of **** and comparing their experience to you dropping your ice cream cone. "I know how it feels" - uhh no you don't. Some people never learn tbh. Fortunately some of my friends who do use FB listen to me talk about my views and they (kind of) understand. Didn't expect that from them lol

And yeah it's always old people who use FB now. I guess it's because they're behind the trends? Like a girl told my band teacher that no one really uses FB anymore and she was like "Really???" lmao.

i used to use FB to read the stuff that this one girl posted because her life is FULL OF DRAMA and it's entertaining because she lieD ABOUT EVERYTHING, down to her age (which could have been easily enough disproved lmfao). i only added her because she was saying she was pregnant and i didn't really believe it, but then she had the baby.... then married her baby daddy and over the course of less than a year went from saying that he was perfect and amazing to saying he was a piece of trash and filing for divorce. all before her 18th birthday. iDK IT WAS AMUSING

then i realized that i only used FB to read her ~stories~ and i was like nah and i deleted my account.

I have a facebook right now and I barely use it. In middle school it was "the thing" to have a Facebook, but not so much anymore. All I ever see is drama on Facebook. For someone who never makes statuses or anything, what some people post is just ridiculous. I just use it to look at funny league pictures. The balls people gain over Facebook is just horrendous as well. Guys trying to creep on you and everything even though it says you're in a relationship. I go on just to take a look at the humor pages I happened to Like about League of Legends and I have random people I don't even know messaging me, like hop off?

It's just drama central and I had it deactivated for a long time. As a younger middle schooler I wasn't careful about what I posted and I sounded extremely dumb as I posted drama and everything that happened in a middle school relationship I was in.. now I even see it in high school. I understand it in middle school cause you're young, but high school? I just find it's not exactly a great place. Your family can see everything, and if your family is anything like mine they are EXTREMELY nosy and will even call my parents about any little thing I post. This is why I removed them and basically just post nothing nowadays.

 

[krielle]

I deactivated my Facebook and I'm glad I did. That's all I have to say about Facebook.

 

[fairyring]

i hate facebook because it takes up too much time and there's always drama between people whose opinions differ. i honestly think everyone is entitled to their views and opinions so there's no need to fight over them on facebook. :/ especially because my own beliefs and views are not really popular with most people so i tend to avoid facebook like the plague haha. i used to use it all the time but these past few years i just have one to keep in touch with my family.

 

[Aradai]

I hate Facebook. I try to add mutuals, but all they do is just post pictures of themselves with the middle finger up. I haven't even used it since last summer. And, it's just full of drama and kids who can't spell right.

 

[BungoTheElf]

Well I don't actually have a Facebook but I kinda just want one to play games and enter giveaways tbh haha

 

[RhinoK]

Facebook causes **** but I can't help but use it
I miss out on so much
A lot of my family aren't near us so I use Facebook to talk to them
I also do it to check up on friends
People never seems to invite me anywhere on text but on inbox
Idk it's just something I 'need'

I follow Nintendo's page on facebook and when they posted that apology for not having same-sex couples available in Tomodachi Life, it was filled with really, really awful comments. People were saying that it was a political issue and Nintendo shouldn't worry about it, that Nintendo has no reason to apologize, etc. etc. It made me wanna hurl.

 

[L. Lawliet]

i like the pages i like, but i dont pay much attention to many posts

 

[mogyay]

I don't think it'll alert them. Do you want to block them from contacting you at all or block their posts so you don't have to put up with their crap spawning on your newsfeed?

i'm so sorry about the late reply but i'm interested in knowing! i don't want to block them from contacting me i just want all of their stuff removed/can't go on their profile. is there a way to do this?? it's just i thought that if i outright blocked them then they also didn't see any of the stuff that i was posting so it would be pretty obvious if i blocked them?

 

[Sinfonia]

Ugh, don't know if this totally fits the topic...

I finished school last year and decided to take a break for some months. My few "good" school contacts pretty much broke.
Last week I contacted my former best school friend via Facebook and talked to her for a while and then I suddenly realized why I didn't try to talk to her earlier.
When I told her about my lawyer-cousin who now has a severe case of "burnout" she didn't show any mercy - she just stomped him by saying he is a coward, a wuss and he should continue doing his job. That really shocked me because I know this guy and he tried everything to stay what he's been, even though he hated it.

Then I started to look around and I noticed how career-oriented most of my contacts are. They can be as cold as an iceblock if it's about their career. I hate this "you're nothing without a job" - point of view I often see there/in my environment generally. The number one question people ask when they see me after a long time? "WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?" They even ask that question before they ask "HOW ARE YOU?" I took a damn break from school because I suffered from a depression. Still do sometimes. I leave the depression-part out but their lack of understanding hurts me. Why would I immediatly start to study or get a job if I KNOW I could not do it properly?

 

[yosugay]

Wow she seems like a total ****-stain. Facebook is fine for me. I like to see what my friends are up to and i like seeing their selfies and stuff. I dont really post alot on there but i basically just lurk sometimes cuz i have no life.

I hate facebook and never made one. my brother has a fb account and ive seen the **** put up there, its all (bad) christian **** and homophobic **** bc we live in the south. theres also some sexist **** with a bit of feminist **** mixed in, but my brother is basically a MRA so the feminist **** isnt a positive thing to him
