I guess I'm failing to see how the person in question was bad from the messages? Or aggressive? Who knows.

I wish I could stay off Facebook for a whole year, but I have no family near me and only way I can keep in touch is through FB.

It read like maybe he had been a jerk at another time and that was the last straw, but also kind of like there was a language barrier?

The easiest way to not go on facebook is to not have one.

I would LOVE to but I help out with my FIL's business on FB (from halfway across the country but nevermind that). He needs it, and he is not a tech man so here I am. Also my business has a FB page I need to maintain... and some of my old professors and classmates, you know who FB was designed to keep in touch with originally, use a FB group to keep in contact and I need to keep that also.

I did consider deleting all of my family but I just decided I'd not go on FB unless alerted by someone I actually need to contact. It's been like a few years of me trying to figure out how to untangle myself without it being an issue but here we are.

I haven't had Facebook for a year. I just sent a message to all of the people I wanted to keep in contact with and I either call or text them now. I haven't missed it one bit. I also get a lot more done now without it.

I gave up Facebook after one of my sisters became a flat earthier and moon landing denier and posted stupid ass shit all the time.

One of the main reasons I had to give it up was because my dad is constantly posting offensive stuff and he would call me to ask if I saw it and I couldn't unfriend my dad, so I just deleted it so I wouldn't offend him lol.

That would be someone I would unfollow but remain friends with still lol.

from what i can see, it looks like he was only a moderator, and was trying to take over the group. changing the questions, banning people, being super weird in messages.

he always gave off major creep vibes to me. i stopped posting as much once he became mod. he just rubbed me the wrong way

 

[LucyO]

My sister doesn't even answer my texts, so the whole call or text doesn't work with her, LOL.
Social media is only way I know what's going on with them.

That is the only way my sister communicates too. Now, I only talk to her on holidays when she actually calls me.

If it were for business purposes that's a completely different ball game. Personally I've never had an interest in any of the social media platforms, just doesn't appeal to me.

My other half is finally home you?

I did that for a while. I unfollowed everyone and then for a while I had it so my family could see NONE of my posts, b/c all of my posts were directly related to my field and my classmates and my friggen family would comment on shit and say offensive things. Like one of my brothers commented a vaguely racist thing on something all of my professors (some of whom I was teaching alongside at the same university at the time!) could see, and we shared a last name, and I just... UGH. But now I can't hide everything from my family, and I can't just unfollow ALL of them.

I do miss seeing my 90+ year old Aunt posting. She's sharp as a tack and very into politics, she's a hoot.

i do the same, but thankfully my family isnt bad.

i do hide lots of posts from my family tho, since i have my kids on there.
i mostly post in closed groups anyway. and i don't comment on public things. if friends post public statuses, i don't even interact.

nope because facebook is for fun and mturk isn't fun. lol. also because I don't really want to tie my real name to it and I'm too lazy to make another fb.

I feel the exact opposite. All my family and inlaws are on FB. In no way can that be construed as fun.

I have most of mine unfollowed because they always post those stupid 'I'm a strong woman and you don't deserve me' and 'i'm a bad bitch' stuff that for some reason frequently has a minion on it

I get into trouble when I do that too because my mother in law will call me up and try to start shit "can you believe what so and so posted on FB?" and its... its just not a good situation if I'm not informed at least somewhat.

That MTurk seems to be coming back to life. Yesterday was my best day in quite a while.

We just had to report the results of something called a DTF test to a vendor at work.

I need to get a DTF tester for humans.

That would be awesome. Takes all the guesswork out of romance.
