Have you noticed that Facebook has gone downhill in a way, its general content being not relevant and turning the chance for communication for useful purposes very rare. Anyways it is still very popular but what would be the alternative, if any, besides this one of course. Maybe it's time for a new one. Thoughts?
I'm still on it, and it serves my purposes - which are to keep in touch with, and follow lives of, a bunch of folks from my past and present, that I might have lost touch with otherwise. I've reconnected with some folks that are special to me too. I'm able to keep up on local theater doings and auditons, share all sorts of animal-y things with my other animal-y people, and keep up with environmental issues locally, that enable me to partake in possible solurions.
The key is knowing when to scroll on past some of the nonsense, and take breaks if there's too much downer stuff.
But I totally get some folks having had quite enough ! Whatever works for ya.
I left facebook about a year ago.
I don't need yet another thing in my life that pushes agenda.
How the mighty have fallen, its almost a Shakesperean tragedy , and will not be the last, Mr Trump
I don't know about an alternative, but I am for the most part done with Facebook. I haven't deleted my account, because I have a few old friends and family members that still contact me through it. I am really rarely on there anymore.
I think there is such a thing as "too bigt", and Facebook is a prime example of it. They hyave grown to a point where not much on there is really actually relevant to me, Also all the ads don't really help. I got really angry when they started puttign ads on my timeline.
I mjuch prefer this site.
Yeah I agree, it is trying to be all things to everyone, perhaps it was bound to happen. But like some people below point out it also how you use it. In a way it s a reflection of our society, but I'm thinking perhaps there is a room for a social media outlet that mission is more directed, to have a purposeful objetive. Maybe I'm asking for too much but sure wish people would start posting less food pics!
Since they introduced the group thing that's when it all started now it's just people arguing over stuff and not just people getting to know each other . Something new will come along sooner or later it always does
@PeppermintDreads you've been lucky then . Either that or I'm the argumentative git !!
