chickenfeet I think I've about had it with Facebook. I've been using "social media" since the days of Usenet and I'm pretty sure I have never seen anything near as crass as FB. I stayed away for a long time on grounds of not wanting to play in a sandbox owned by a particularly problematic bunch of corporate crooks but recently, since virtually everyone I know seems to have migrated there, I decided to give it a decent try. It's awful. The standard of discourse is pre-school and half the content is partisan junk that is either years out of date or has already been debunked. It makes the AOLers who invaded Usenet look intelligent. Bleh!

Date: 2015-08-23 11:21 am (UTC)There are people on fb who will send a friend request to everyone they ever met. You do not need to accept their requests, let alone follow those people.
A lot of the people who actually show up on my fb feed are people I met here, because they post interesting content (or links to interesting content) and know how to have and how to moderate a discussion.
