Facebook - Where Family Members Get Into Real Harmful Shitposts

Facebook originally was just like MySpace for people to reconnect and get in touch with new folks to be friends and all but now it has become like the 'new' 4chan/NeoGaf/GameFaqs. I'll share my story.

Before my parents and sisters got into Facebook, in terms of communication with other family members (cousins, uncles and such) were OK but with Facebook into the mix they began to get into stupid hateful discussions and as for myself, I've steered well away from it (I only have a Facebook account to log in to apps/websites or enter competitions) because it wouldn't do any good. When I mean 'hateful' it's exactly that, hostile conversations which I hope that they do not take actual physical action but when dealing with people who lose their shit you never know (I don't even socialise much or at all with the family members of my parents because they're extremely close to being unfriendly strangers).

The definition of adult: a person who is fully grown or developed.
The definition of mature: fully developed physically; full-grown.

I just posted above those two definitions to prove my point that even when people call themselves "adults" and "mature" they are being hypocrites by falling into conversations and actions that they could literally avoid it at all costs.

Here's an example, IMDb/YouTube has tons of trolls but I personally avoid/ignore talking to them or getting into heated discussions because it's a waste of time which would do no good. If they were family members it would be no different to me.

God fucking Dammit. Just grow up and don't take the bait! :(

I think the best thing you could do is deactivate your FB account and create another one where you don't have any familiar.
 
@SonicCloud Then he would have to re-login into everything and possibly lose stuff ( Like progress in games ). Also, some games use Facebook so you can play with friends.

I also have mine just for apps and games.

I thought Facebook was just where old people posted pictures of their pets/children...
...Great to know even when people are 50, they still squabble over the most pointless things

Yup, it happens here too.

I tried to talk to my previous crush there, but just ignored me and stopped talking to me.

I mostly use it for apps and games too.

@SonicCloud I don't have any family members on my Facebook account as friends, I even use a different name (+ no picture) so none of them can really tell if I have an account or not.

That's why you filter your friend list. Chose your people, avoid drama. I personally have zero family members, except for my sister. I chose my friends, and that's better that way. Granted, my friendlist is very small, but at least, I know they aren't cunts.

Going by the people I speak to there has been something of an exodus of late, or at least a lot of people reducing their usage to "funny picture feed and logins somewhere". Said people still post all the inane details of their day online but facebook is not the location for it.

As for flamewars, what else is the not serious side of the internet for?

I'm glad that Facebook has an option to unfollow people so you can still be friends and not see their posts on the newsfeed.

Take any large community that's loosely moderated and people will turn it into a cesspool.
it's unavoidable.

    Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. :ninja:
