It is after all important to build networks. So far I have 3 followers, one is apparently a doctor and the others are policemen. Nice. Modern society watching people eat cake on a phone. How lame.

Oh dear, well I can understand why you haven't many friends, but there are people out there who are different to you, and use FB for many reasons.

Lacessit Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Every year, there is a big cyber convention in Las Vegas. Organizations such as Facebook, Line , Onlyfans etc. parcel up the personal information of thousands of the people who register with them, and auction off the data to the highest bidder. Which of course includes scammers, phishers and hackers. It's why I avoid most social media. I have enough real-life friends.

Did you know most schools have FB accounts via ordinary folk looking back at their past, this opens up a new window for readers to search for old friends.

The worse thing about Facebook is the friends nonsense, who wants to see photos of "friends" food etc, the best thing is the endless groups available for posts and comments, anyone who likes asiannow would like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushroomdave Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) "So all of a sudden I get replies on funny things I posted on FB" When you post make sure you set it to "Friends Only".....if you have the post on "Public", that's all your fault......unless you really do want the chicks writing !! ????????????
