Deleted my Facebook today.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
agree "MasterB"
 
Never have never will , everyone I know who goes on "crack book" (because of it addictive qualities) either argues or bores people to death with self pictures and problems , I'd much rather be on mfk's learning about something worthwhile , if I need to speak to a mate/family member I use my phone or e mail its never bothered me
 
Had mine deleted but after 2 months i just needed to get back on.
But now i only use it for family that lives far away (Suriname).

What I don't understand is why do people who don't use FB feel so high and mighty about it. There are a lot of people who come across as acting like they are better than others because they choose not to use it. If you don't like the that's fine, it's your choice. But why is it necessary to be so smug about it?

I think FB is what you make out of it. There is nothing wrong with FB, its the friends you add, the groups you are in, how you present yourself on FB by the words you type, etc. I have FB, it's 99% hunting, fishing, outdoors related stuff. The few "friends" that slip by me and are always using profanity, posting stupid crap, etc. they get deleted, it's as simple as that. Don't take it out on FB, FB is just a platform that you use to communicate with. The other 1% is family and real life friends. I see so many fishing and hunting photos on my FB, things I probably would have never seen or heard of. I love seeing everyone's photos, the story behind it, etc. If you use FB correctly there wont be much of a problem, but if you abuse it then you are bringing that onto yourself. Because once you bicker about a post someone makes, you wait for the reply, then reply, then wait again and again. It's no different than on MFK when someone start's to complain about something, once you make your post you wait for the other to reply back and it goes on and on. A lot of folks get their ego hurt so they will always try to one up them to make them look like they are right, no one ever seems to be right and no one ever seems to be wrong. You don't like a post or a photo of the duck face, just read on to the next one. No need to comment. Your comment is useless and wont change the fact that the person will stop making those faces. Someone made a post about Obama that you don't agree with it?, leave it alone, what you say and what they say wont make a difference in your life whatsoever, it's not going to change anything.

I agree with this. I just never got into posting on FB. I never requested to be anyones friend. I have 53 friends that all requested to be my friend. All these people I don't know I sold them my product they wanted to be connected to me so I approved them. But I don't communicate with them I never joined any groups. I been long time member on car forums here on MFK some other social site but the forum I post on are all people who share my interest. I just never had any interest in posting or communicating with anyone on FB. I don't have anything bad to say about FB. I have lots of my relatives cousins that post on FB regularly. Its how everyone keeps up on whats going on in family events. I'm not part of it cause my FB accounts under my business name and very few of my relatives and cousins know me on there.
 
That's what I see all the time. They let other people control if they have a FB account or not. Most of these threads I see across this place and several other forums always blame the friends they add and it's full of ignorant people, how can it be full of ignorant people? Just because they post something you don't like? If that's that case then anywhere you go online is full of ignorant people, including your almighty self because people thing the same about you.

If you choose just not to have one because it not for you, that's your choice. It's also your choice not to have one if it's full of ignorant people who post duck face photos, pics of their food, etc., but letting someone else choose for you to delete your FB account is ridiculous or anything for that matter.

Like I said, FB is what you make it out to be.

Answer me this question, what is the difference in the no shave November thread where everyone with a beard posts a photo of them self vs someone posting a duck face? You think the person that post their duck face cares about your beard? Just as in you don't care about their duck face? Or when you post photos of your fish and your fish tank and someone posts a photo of a nice meal they made....

I post photos of what I eat such as Elk, Deer, Pheasant, etc. It may not appeal to some people but who cares?

FB can be a great platform to use to have fun with, keep in touch with people and learn about other things local and around the world.

I'm sure most folks on here have other hobbies besides fish collecting, etc. I know there are a lot of car guys on FB, I even liked a few pages so I can see the new cars that come out, races, etc. I even joined a group to help me fix my 1999 Blazer.

I check my FB all the time, the same as I do here and a lot of other sites. I admit I'm on FB more than the others but that's because I'm busy looking all everyone's fish, deer, etc.
