The "coordinating their social life" is lame but understandable. What I don't understand is when people like my little brother (little meaning late 20s) and his girlfriend sit in the same drat literal room, completely silent, yet post to each other on facebook so their friends can see them posting to each other whilte occasionally giggling.

I think u must be mentally challenge if u cannot understand why Facebook is super convenient and fun to use for people with friends or several groups of firends, maybe u need to get a life or not be a huge idiot who is shamefully stupid??

SA is definitely "my facebook" and that fact alone makes me really relate to fb users. (I can't do both regularly, it's too much)

I got rid of the app because it was getting bad in terms such as bullshit notifications like birthdays and somebody else liking some dumb bullshit. I check the website but only quickly so people don't think I'll be there to chat.

in 2008 i finally broke down and registered an account, a few weeks later my work decided that "we need to be on facebook" and they asked each of us to friend the company account. I told them I didn't have an account and deleted it

I have a lot of friends who are hobos or weird off-the-gridders and oddly enough they use facebook as their primary mode of communication/organization. You'd figure they'd be afraid of the NSA but they've accepted it like everyone else.

Like 30 or so? I dunno, I'll accept any friend request but I try to keep it to people I actually know.

I find Facebook still pretty decent for knowing things like when a local band is going to play or if some social event is coming up. I'd rather check there than every bands website individually or poo poo like that.

what the gently caress is wrong with people that the thought of a bare five minutes off a facebook is unendurable

I keep facebook just so I can keep poking a friend that pokes me, and maybe message a few people. Pretty much no interest in the feed at all.

If you've had it for any length of time you should most definitely go through and prune the more colorful posts of your youth. Even if you think you're pretty much the same person you were in 2011, scroll through your entire timeline and whooa delete delete delete

deleted my account january last year, had as many as 150 friends but whittled it down over 90% because it turned out i actually loathed the vast majority of my friends

people are actually more tolerable irl because on facebook they seem to ignore personal filters so they say whatever the hell stupid poo poo they want regardless how idiotic it makes them sound, while during personal face to face contact they have a little thing called decorum and common sense
