Any Facebook users here?

Post by Executioner »

I have an account, but hardly use it much. I've been thinking about deleting it, but the wife is on it all the time.

Nope. Had an account years ago, but once they started changing sharing settings every few days, I deleted it off.

I have one that I use mostly for messaging with my kids and a couple of friends. I may spend some time a couple of times a week looking through what my friends have posted. I rarely post. I run it with max privacy and with FB purity on top of adblock+ , so I never see an ad. With FB purity, you can also block posts that contain keywords like "*rump" .

Been dragged into it recently to stay in touch with some friends and family. I despise it though. I hate how they constantly send me updates and suggestions and ignore my preferences not to be bothered by that crap.
Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

I still have mine. I mainly use it to follow bands and artists I like. My blocked list is longer than my friends list.

If you're accessing it on your phone, you need to make sure you log out. Not just close the app.

anyone who is using should install fb purity. It has a lot of settings that let you block the ads and most of the FB crap. I belong to a couple of groups that were set up specifically as private special interests groups (college friends, etc.)

No I don't use it on my phone. Only on my PC and I log out when I'm done.

people you called or messaged using android apps were likely picked up.
