    The only thing I can think of is changing the photo's settings to only the specific people you want to see it, but I don't know a way to have it not show up to anyone unless you set it to 'only me' in privacy.

    Save them into an album but do not allow that album on your timeline?

    Pretty much exactly this happened a year ago to me. Fresh password, fresh account, hacked within days (Which is doubly weird because I think its the only time something of mine's been hacked liked that)

    Same thing happened here. I was using a laughably weak password because who cares about twitter and then DMd everyone a link to knockoff watches.

    Luckily the 2fa is pretty easy to set up on twitter.

    I got on facebook when it first started out and mostly used it as a procrastination device, but when I got out of school my interest began to taper off gradually then very, very sharply. Once it really caught on and people started using it to make normal, basic overtures to try and keep in touch/reconnect it felt like a responsibility and so became the thing I procrastinated against, which was the end of my facebook experience really

    It's been several years and I can't even be assed to delete my page, secretly I am convinced that in my absence all the unanswered messages and friend requests have festered and fermented and germinated into some sort of guiltgeist, which would be released by my logging on

    so anyways, fb is not for me. it feels inevitable that I will have to resume maintaining a page but right now I am content to fly without it for as long as I can


    I have a twitter and a tumblr that I only use to follow people and that is useful and enjoyable to me

    this place filters my internet and lets me talk about things I have no real life outlet for, which has been very pleasant, and it's probably the main thing I use to determine what media to consume

    I have a Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter. Literally the only reason why I made a Twitter was to find out when PAX East passes go on sale. I don't post on Facebook at all but it's good to have for group projects in school. Tumblr and Instagram are where I'm mostly active, posting stuff when I'm bored. It's funny, I don't really use social networking sites to actually socialize.

    Oh and I had a MySpace before Facebook was cool. 8-)

    I have a Facebook and it's all I use

    I don't really post on it anymore, but on Facebook Messenger I'm in a chat with about ten or so of my close friends, so that's super helpful

    I made a Twitter but I don't like it

    I have a Tumblr but it's only used for porn purposes

    I made an Instagram just to follow Tony Hawk after he posted that awesome teaser video for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, but that's it

    Comments are social media right?

    A fake comment system. People can comment on a page, but it's all stored locally and only they ever see it. It gives the illusion of people being able to leave comments on your articles, without any of the downsides.

    I love that the only comments on that github page are a perfect example of why one might want to use the script.

    You guys ready for somethin creepy?

    So I have a Facebook but don't post on it at all, basically checking it every few months just out of morbid curiosity. My Facebook app on my phone does not sync with my contacts. I've friended no forumers because I figure if I want to contact yall I can just do it here, and I haven't like, searched for any of you or anything,

    Yesterday I checked it on a whim and it asked me if I knew at least 2 forumers.

    What the FUCK Facebook?

    I'm guessing it looks at your Cookies and sees that you regularly visit here.

    I seem to recall Facebook not really caring about privacy (or being outright anti-privacy or something, it's been a while).

    I have a facebook. The last time I did anything on it was two years ago when I changed my profile picture to me in my ghostbusters stuff. Several coworkers at the public library tried to get me to use it again when I left for my school career. I logged in and had like over a hundred friend requests. I couldn't handle trying to figure out what to do with it so I gave up.

    I mean, I don't need an explanation of why it happens here because I get it. It could also be that the people who popped up have my number and have contact syncing turned on.

    Just weird how intrusive that shit is. I'm seriously considering deleting the whole thing now since I don't use it anyway.

    Facebook does not care about privacy. They can mine all sorts of data from your browsing habits. I would guess the suggestions are people you interact with on the forums (which is creepy as hell).

    I haven't really paid much attention to Facebook, so when you said this I did some Googling. If even half the stuff out there that people say about Facebook is true, then that is nightmarish.
