The Nigerian Prince is definitely a scam, because I have already replied to his Widow, and will receive the millions any day now.

I don't think so, but it could be delayed in the mail.

My Uncle is the postmaster general for the Nigerian post system, If You send me $240 , in small unmarked bills I can help expedite its delivery.

I do not have Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook so instead I walkabout the streets shouting to randomly selected people what I've eaten, drunk, and what my home looks like.
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.

 

Me, spoken to people/friends from my schools from 60 years back, exchanged photos etc, so please keep your 'existence' to yourself and crack on.........

60 years ago? So you hadnt spoken for 60 years which means not real friends.

 

Pretend friends.

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.

Don't be silly, seems you need a little education.....????

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.

Now I call this fun, but bar stool dwellers may not...

This is common on Facebook.  You just deny the request or block them

You already did. 75 to 78 years old talking to people from 60 years ago.

No idea what sunbeam means. Never met you. You have a warped idea that people you never met care. They don't.

exactly.

some people maybe spend too much time on facebook.

and there is some narcissism.

but if you use it properly, it's a useful platform.

i've had several people from the past contact me.

it's the best tool to get in contact with people you haven't seen in years and want to reconnect with.

And where is the danger? You can just block when you get tired, right? Useless thread!

I use to do the same.
Every time I get a message that somebody who is not in my friends list "Like'd" a message, I simply block them to be sure that they have no further access to my posts.
Let FaceSh.t handle the rest for themselves.

No. It was an article I read some time ago in MSM, think it was ABC news.

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

[mushroomdave]

"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 !!   ????????????

Now i'm very new to FB and as a confirmed com dino i'm struggling with it. Is there anyway i can get in touch with friends like you from many many years ago if indeed they are also using FB ? I'm not aware of any process and i have tried to find one.

Thanks for any help.

depends if your "friends" are all boring people who lead boring lives.

 

one girl I met, I looked her up on facebook and discovered she did some art. she posted her artwork on her page. at least it was interesting.

 

a lot of people are narcissists and expect you to view their pages of what they ate for breakfast. just ignore it. 

 

several people from the past have contacted me on my facebook, otherwise i don't use it much. 

 

forums like this are better for exchanging information. there is a thread with a clear topic and you read it if it interests you.
