We should all really quit [Social Media]: Facebook changes product branding to FACEBOOK

twitter is for my internet people

facebook is for my real life people

and never the two shall meet

Pretty much.

Facebook is for real life people and it's the social networking site I'm least active on by far. I had a girl in one of my classes ask if I had a tumblr a few weeks ago and I chickened out and said no.

I like adding people from here on my Facebook because it makes me feel like I am a more social person than I really am

This, except I don't use Twitter or Facebook. It's extra safe that way.

Facebook is where I drop all my quality jokes.

A girl I knew in high school somehow found and followed the throwaway twitter I made to play Fallen London with PA people. Still no idea how that happened.

I hate how Facebook shares every thing no matter what the context. This morning a friend tagged me in response to a George Takei post with the word douchelagoon. I replied with a joke about douchecanoes.

Next thing I know my wife and my mother are calling me wondering why I'm being so crude on their news feed.

facebook is the worst invention of all time

it's like the bad version of an OS that got replaced eventually

Every few weeks I used to get a call from my mother asking me to take somethin I had wrote in jest off of Facebook because it personally offended her

This included everything from one-off jokes to news articles to which she was politically opposed/thought was sad/had been told by some distant family that it offended them/all of the above

So now I don't really post on Facebook anymore

Blake T

You can always have it set so she can't see anything you write on Facebook.

Tommy2Hands

I keep doing that and she keeps finding ways around it honestly. I probably need to block my sister too but I don't want to do that

Wait, those are your quality jokes? 8-)

I'm honestly surprised to see so much hate for Facebook. As someone currently stuck in my hometown at a crappy job while nearly all my friends live at least an hour away, it's the best way I can see what's going on in their lives and what they're interested in. I'm also pretty much using it as a journal of random stuff I'm thinking about or doing.

It also helps that I've separated my relatives on Facebook from my friends, meaning that 99% of what I post is seen only by my friends.

It's also a nice perk that a number of my friends are artists and post awesome work they've done.

The only real downside is that sometimes it makes me a bit sad to see all the stuff my friends are doing that I have little opportunity to participate in.

The best development Facebook ever incorporated was the ability to hide people from your feed without removing them from your friends list.

I'm at the point where almost all of the people I actually like on my Facebook are forumers.

sup dude

I am living in Alabama right now! I got an internship at a company here but I don't know what's going to happen afterwards which is kind of crazy

My mother recently took a forumer to task on Facebook for pulling a face in their Facebook profile.

My mom uses Facebook to post bigoted Fox News like opinions.

I'll trade you?

She was right though, he does have a lovely smile and he shouldn't be afraid to show it.

He's sexy and he knows it?

Centipede Damascus

it sounds like the problem is he doesn't know it

I've actually been really enjoying twitter over the past 12ish months or so, barring stupid people doing big stupid things on it.

But in terms of a localised set of people who I interact with, I really love it!

Does also help that I met my boyfriend over twitter, too.

How'd that happen (if you don't mind sharing)?

in case anyone was wondering it was DEFINITELY me what got yelled at by tube's mom on facebook

I use facebook for a few forumers but mostly for making events, talking to friends who live in town or left after university, or demanding that my roommate leave his room and take food out of the freezer to thaw while I'm at work

I don't have twitter, but I do have a SnapChat I probably use too much of. I also use the heck out of Skype and Google Hangouts at work! (It helps that the former is necessary to talk to employees working remotely, and that the latter looks mildly professional.)

facebook has done a stellar job at making sure I meet my daily quota of "seeing confederate flags"

If someone doesn't like something I post or like on Facebook then they have the freedom to hide me. If that has ever happened they didn't really know me that well in the first place I guess. I pretty much keep my Facebook to friends and family members but over the years some people with radically different political and religious opinions have snuck on there somehow. For the most part I try to leave everybody on my feed as-is because I like to keep tabs on other opinions etc. Don't want that confirmation bias you know? Lately though some people have definitely been hid because OMG what is even happening these days. My blood pressure couldn't take it anymore.

UnbreakableVow

I don't bother hiding people's awful stuff on Facebook

If they post awful shit, they're deleted and blocked

If they happen to ask, I tell them exactly why

I don't really like the idea of being "friends" with people that are gonna post hateful shit and then just telling Facebook "make me blind to this, please." I'd rather just not associate with those people at all
