Life Why is facebook the dumbest thing ever? - Page 9

FB is kinda dumb and annoying but everybody has it.

So instead of activating, deactivating, ativating, etc over and over. When you get tired of it, you just don't pay much attention to it.

I have an account. Glad I do. I post about once a month and rarely check it. It works for me.

And people who are annoying are quickly Unfriended or put on ignore.

Simple.

Simple.

That's kind of how I operate on my FB page. I post it like 2 or 3 times out of the month, and moved on.

But other than that, I'm in the same way that you operate FB.

Facebook CAN be incredibly obnoxious, but if you put a little effort into it, I find it hard to believe anyone can really have a major issue with it. The problem many people run into is that they try to make it a dick measuring contest and adding/accepting every person they've ever met. When you do that, you end up with a giant wall of information about people you don't care about.

If you're either 1) very selective of who you are friends with or 2) go through the effort to move people who you don't care much about into your acquaintances list, your feed will be filled with a really easy way to keep up with what's going on in the lives of people you care about. Using groups for people you REALLY want to know everything they're up to (and clicking on that group specifically once in a while) can help as well.

...I eventually took my birthday off of my FB account because of that. It irritated the shit out of me.

That's one hell of a belated birthday wish - my birthday's a week from now.

Good point. At my age, the last thing I want to be reminded of is that I'm even older!

I figured he was making the reference to the thread you made about that very subject.

Yeah, I figured. I'd almost forgotten I did that.

Agreed. It is easy to tweak if you have a basic understanding of very simple technology.

This is true, though I don't really care that much. The point when I officially realized I was getting old was when I realized that I've been out of school (K-12) longer than I was in it at this point.
