Facebook is annoying

People and companies automatically assuming that you're on Facebook (or any other form of social media for that matter).

Case in point, I went for a job interview last year where the interviewer asked me for permission to view my Facebook page and when I informed him that I wasn't on there he as good as called me a liar and the interview was concluded in the next two minutes. I didn't get the job!

Who was the company?
 
I never really log in to Facebook. The content is rubbish.

Surely the content is what you make it. I turned mine off for the new year, I found myself looking at it or posting stuff when I really didn't know why I was bothering.

My only issue is I have a lot of games I used to log in through FB. I migrated the ones I could and have created a new account just for games and the few things I want to follow. I prefer that rather than have everyone see my **** and me there's.

Is there a way to completely block everyone from seeing you exist and only see the stuff you want to follow?
 
The worst thing is people who are too stupid to just not use something they don't like but will go on other sites to complain about the other site. Amazing. :rolleyes:

I love Facebook. It allows me to easily communicate with people so much better than the alternative which is email or similar. Closer friends use it for arranging nights out much easier than text etc. Some funny stuff on there as well!
 
The last time I signed into FB was a year ago. Shall I just delete my FB account?

Yeah good luck. I "deleted" my account back in 2008, last year curiosity got the better of me and I checked to see if I could login again despite the deletion. I remember going through the big red button confirmation, and everything. The "in 30 days everything will be removed" nonsense, all that jive.

(Un)surprisingly everything was as I left it in 2008.

So I "deleted" every picture, friend association, post etc manually and "deleted" my account again.

It's probably still there, **** FB.
 
I deleted mine three years ago and haven't logged in since. I don't miss it despite my friends constantly telling me to reactivate my account
 
I feel much better for now having very few friends on it. Works much better and is actually useful/interesting. Either delete or unfollow the rest

This, nothing is as good as Facebook for following events, bands, companies, news etc. The amount of posts from friends on it is once in a blue moon, as none off us use it like that. Other than one who tags herself in everywhere.

The amount of events I would miss without it. When I find out about events be it meatopia or numerous others, like it on Facebook and next year get reminders about tickets etc. Facebook is a brilliant tool. People just don't seem to realise you can customise it to your needs and you don't have to follow 6millioh people you barely know.

I don't have particularly long experience of using FB as I spent maybe two hours in total on it since last decade, but if I was to guess I'd say the current algorithm is set to show me everything I never wanted to see from people I don't give monkeys about and to hide everything from my genuine friends. And no amount of adding people to favourites or creating sub groups appear to affect FB's decision of what to present to me as daily summary. It probably knows better.
 
If there is one thing worse than the typical **** Facebook user who relentlessly shares crap, it's the overly sanctimonious non users who just love to tell everyone else how much better they are because they don't use it :p

I can't imagine not having a facebook account - you naysayers are missing out. That or you have thoroughly crap / no friends :p

So you're basically saying the FB users are **** and non FB users are sanctimonious. So you're against everyone on planet earth. There are around 7 billion people on this spec of dust that orbits the sun. I'll wager that most of them are smarter than you. ;)

No, that's not basically what I'm saying, try learning to read. You're obviously in the dumber minority ;)
 
Not annoying but freaky:

Started noticing that people who I've recently talked to on WhatsApp move to the top of the messenger bar on web.
