I gave up on Facebook years ago, do people still use it? All I ever saw were annoying pointless spam posts and adverts.

Kelt · 28 Oct 2021 at 20:03

Never use it, so it doesn't mata to me.

Getting fed up of seeing this tbh.

@Maccy any chance of adding this phrase to the sticky? Make it up there with Rhyl (I'm sure this used to be on that list?), tl;dr, etc.

In 2015, Google restructured its company calling its parent firm Alphabet, however, the name has not caught on.

Good to see Zuckerberg is facing into the real life clown shows his terrible platforms provide by changing the name of a faceless parent company no one apart from shareholders give two ***** about :thumbs up:

e: mods must condemn FBi7's views on mods must condemn.

It's business news for a start and Facebook have been embroiled in controversial issues recently so this is relevant to its users. It's news.

The OP's thread is a harsh and modernistic take on its very subject matter. How much and how should we share information and under what branding?

In summary, yes you are.
