Re: Unfriending on facebook

I've never bothered with Facebook. What's the crack with it now, is it a middle aged thing, blokes in leathers and Motorbikes etc?

I believe the young uns are into Instagram etc these days

The worst ones are the community hubs that have taken over from the women's institute and the like

Some absolute fruit cakes on there

I think a woman going on holiday to a quiet peaceful Greek island with her husband and having a pleasant meal is losing her mind if she then posts a photo of the meal and puts it on Facebook

And only her mother says that's lovely dear !

Absolutely mad and her 3000 mates clearly agree or they would be over it like a rash

What i can't understand is people having this wonderful tool in front of them, they can communicate with people far and wide, learn things, Educate themselves, yet they Befriend Bob from down the road who they see in Spar three times a week and on two of those occasions they hide behind the Bread so that they don't have to strike up a conversation, yet spew their guts on Facebook. ****ing weird.

It’s had its day, if it wasn’t for the groups ( some ok football ones like lost grounds etc) on it or marketplace I’d have ditched it when I deleted about 250 people I barely ever knew 5 years ago….I guess some people might take offence at that but if I hadn’t seen or heard from them in over 10/20 years I guess I can live with out them. I’m sure people have deleted me too….it’s just the way

Rather predictably, the thread has veered away from the OP's point and turned into a Facebook bashing exercise.

Re: Unfriending on facebook

I use Facebook to keep lightly in touch with friends I have around the world and although, no doubt, that my posts on there and here may bore and/or irritate those who read them, my pet hates on Facebook are posts that:

1. Show people"s Wordle efforts every day
2. Quoted mindless platitudes/maxims
3. People thanking their nearest and dearest for something when they are probably next to each other on the sofa
4. Show photos of comestibles about to be masticated

I know what people may find annoying about my pompous contributions, however :-)

Re: Unfriending on facebook

I would worry about it.
It seems to bring the absolute worst out of people who are show offs, attention seekers and voyeurs. People go on holiday and put dozens of photos every day documenting their every move. People live stream a band they are watching instead of living in the moment and taking it all in. I know several people who have quite unhappy personal lives - relationship, debt etc but if you viewed them through their Facebook account you'd think they were living the dream. It should be called Fakebook.
I have an account which I use only for certain groups or when a band is playing but I never look at individual stuff. That's where you find out that bloke you haven't seen for 30 years but knew from school, is now a racist prick

Worldly quotes showing a solitary soul sitting on top of a mountain looking at the sunset are right up there for me too, particularly when I see the people who posted it who are the polar opposite of the kind and caring soul they profess to be….:hehe:
Also, rather than unfriending, not responding positively to a friend request is deemed far worse and is an excellent way in this modern world of just saying F off like we used to back in the day…..

No, it’s good for some stuff…..there are just plenty of weirdos out there like we all know. Most stuff is alright in small doses isn’t it

Exactly. Use it how you like. Broadcast your every thought to the entire world, use it to keep informed about your favourite band's tour dates, arrange get togethers with friends and family. Or don't use it all at if you prefer and try to avoid telling everyone about your choice.

Bingo, it has a place in life, the Groups are very good for information, you can get as much out of it as you want, if you dont want to see Maggie biting into one of her freshly backed cupcakes, then just unfollow them ( so they will not show on your timeline ) they will not know you have unfollowed them ( so no offence )

when I made all my posts ( for my memories ) I was surprised the people who messaged me when I made them public again, even a dad of someone who my daughter met through dog training, lived 140 miles away, I had spoken to him few times at a camp we went to, but he missed seeing what my girls were upto, he even went to a England netball game in the copperbox as he had seen me posting about it being "end to end and exciting " so he thought he would check it out himself

Football , music , community groups are ok

Barking mad

Have you never masticated your banana and posted a photo?

People in school who were massive racists and still are but pretend they are not

It would be funny if it wasn't so worrying
