They need to grow up. As authors we need to have the Adults Only table. You gonna act like a kid? Sit over there where they cry and rub mac and cheese in their hair.

Seems there is nothing new to say that someone hasn’t. Great post.

It’s too late to unfriend, block, etc. I deleted my FB account October 2016.
For me, it was the best decision.
I don’t like it when complete strangers think they know me and try to tell me how to eat, what to eat, how to live, what celebrity to worship, etc.
FB was starting to be more stressful than fun.
I’ve had a video on my feed showing a Muslim man, who was in another country, beat a dog to death with a large branch. Dogs are considered the devil over there. I’ve seen children beating hit and abused, the elderly and sickly being abused and some people shouting their abortion and acting happy about it. I just got so sick and tired of the negativity. There wasn’t enough ‘positivity’ to stay.
So, for my peace of mind, I got rid of it altogether.
I don’t need FB in my life. I don’t need it to keep up with family. We have pot lucks and gatherings so I can see them and talk to them in person.
I was fine before FB. And, I’m much happier without it.

I try to make sure I say happy birthday to everyone, and it makes my day when they all do the same for me, and when they comment or share my posts.

The only thing I don’t like is that I don’t automatically get everyone’s feeds as I get more friends (only the ones who you respond to or like comments the most, I guess), so I need to remember to type in others’ names sometimes to see how they are doing.

Facebook has helped me to find so many people! By typing in their names and leaving messages to say who I was and why I was looking for them (I also messaged friends who may have connections to them) I was able to locate many missing classmates for a reunion, and am currently using it to find missing distant relatives for a family reunion.

I joined Facebook to keep up with news and pics of my kids and grandkids, and then extended it to people at church and work who I wanted to get to know better. I began asking to be friends of my cousins, and now I feel closer to that generation than to my cousins. Plus I see more pics of cousins that way.

I was careful to only accept friend requests from those who knew my other friends at first.
I learned that for MLMs you want to build more connections, since people buy what you sell because YOU (as a friend) are selling it more than because they want the product;so I began to allow more requests to be my friend.

I always check on new friend requests to see if they have pictures and other friends on their page. If they don’t, and all they have is a profile pic and basic info, I won’t friend them, thinking they may be stolen identities.

I’ve only unfriended a few people. One had a lot of swearing and complaining, and a few others were the ex of other friends who were paranoid that the ex was checking up on them by accessing their page by clicking on them in my list of friends.

I’ve been able to share my life with others, plus what I and others are selling, plus info about local events coming up.

I love that we can create groups and events! I’ve created groups for each side of my family as another way to keep up on them. I also have groups of recipes, religious thoughts and good to know about (how to clean things, etc).

It saves clutter around the house to have invites (and reminders about them) on Facebook instead of scattered around/buried at the house.

Yes, I am thankful for Facebook and all of my friends on it. I may not ever meet them, and may forget how we first connected, but I enjoy being a part of all their lives. It makes me feel special.

Forgot to !mention this was on Twitter, not FB. :-\
