skinner75 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I had to take myself off 'antisocial media' - Facebook/Meta/Twitter are poison. Don't get me started on businesses using FB as their main 'website' - if you are at that sort of thing, you have failed A dedicated forum is a different kettle of fish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR 800 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Theres a lot of railing against social media generally, but I steer well clear of facebook. Nothing to do with any particular groups, just the platform as a whole. Facebook is infamous for poor moderation practices, allowing extremist and conspiracy content to run rampant and selling off data en masse (the Irish regulator has fined them close to a billion over the last 2 years). Although also brought about by the natural 'innovate or decline cycle' of any company, Zuckerberg was pissed enough at Apple allowing users to turn off third party cookies (and killing their profits as a result) that he wants to own the software and hardware for 'internet 3.0' aka the disastrous moneysink known as the metaverse. There's also significant controversy over their 'free basics' internet in developing countries. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Social media is what you make it. If you wade through the sludge, then you smother yourself in poop. But, that's a choice, your choice. At this very moment in time, I've just used our Facebook page to take a booking from guests looking to arrive tomorrow. They wrote via one of our advertising platforms, and couldn't make the payment due to card problems. The platforms block all forms of subterfuge, email addresses, phone numbers, urls etc, to protect their income and to protect their clients. I was able to tell our guest how to find us on Facebook without having my message blocked, they found us, made contact, paid by bank transfer after seeing our credentials, so they win and we win. I wasn't subject to anything bad in the process, didn't see anything racist or extremist, and that booking would not have happened without social networking. I will confess that in general, I don't use FB. I often stay logged off for so many months that I can't remember my password and have to look it up. I imagine that it's boring, very boring, if you're online going through other people's stuff, but if you are using it for a specific purpose - a model railway group, accepting holiday bookings, re-homing animals, it's a useful and powerful tool. Where it frustrates me, personally, is when somebody says that something is "on Facebook"... They might as well just say "It's somewhere on the internet" if they're not gonna provide a url to the resource. Likewise, the expensive resin bus models that only get released "on facebook" ... How the Hell is anybody supposed to get themselves one with something so vague? A url, a date, a time and a name make a big difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
