Not this guy, no thanks

Not me! Seen Zucky capitulate to the government whims too often ... an extension of the government's intelligence community spying on American citizens.

I started on FB shortly after it left Mark Z's dorm room. At the time is was pretty much a dating site for college students. It was slowly morphing into a networking site for professionals. I used it to find a couple of jobs in the wildlife field. Then about 2009 or so "normal" people found it and it turned into a family reconnection site. It really didn't start getting bad until about 2012, then it got really bad in 2015, and hasn't recovered.

I was hesitant to get it but about a year ago did for trapping purposes. Our organization has a Facebook group and a lot of non members are following it I’m slowly trying to convince to join. I commented on a national story a couple days ago about JD Vance and Hillbilly Elegy and made a couple comments about how Appalachia really was and had hundreds and hundreds of thumbs up agreements and comments but smoked the welfare system loving angry ones out too. I just quit reading the hateful ignorant one liner snippy comments. I don’t know that it does any good to really know how anyone stands but your friends and neighbors.

No FB for me

I am on Facebook, my friends are very limited.
Some family I message, but not much else.

Marketplace has good prices

Not me. Nor am on on TikTok. Too many idiots on both sites.

I've been on for 14 years.

If your getting all sorts of crap on your page you don't know how to manage your account. I'm only friends with people I've met in person or know.

I mostly use Messenger to keep up with family and friends. We have dozens of active chats going. I also have a business page. I buy, sell and look for good deals on Facebook Marketplace often.

As mentioned there are dedicated private groups for all interests. I'm a member of trapping groups, a pond management group, three groups dedicated to local lakes I enjoy fishing and getting updates on, a PA Deutsch group, a Hunting Camp group, a Local Sawmills and Lumber group, two Online Garage Sale groups, a High School Alumni group, a Small Woodworking Shop group and a Pennsylvania Taxpayer's Cyber Coalition to name a few. LOL

For me it is a very useful and entertaining form of social media.
