    Delete you account. Problem solved.

    Remove all the people that annoy you from your news feed. Problem solved.

    Facebook is made up of your "friends". Get new friends. Problem solved.

    just because your "not on it" does not mean your not plastered all over it eg. weddings birthdays ect ect!!!

    Facebook is only as bad as you let it be. You can stop people from tagging you without your permission, you can stop people other than friends from accessing your details etc.
    There's way to manage the things that annoy you, however, if there's so many things than do annoy you, then ditch it!

    No, because the people I associate with aren't on it either.

    FB is gay!

    I was on it but the novelty wore off pretty quick. People LOVE uploading and posting inane shiite. I don't care what you had for dinner or when you had your last bowel movement. I certaintly couldn't care less about your kids or about how much you love x,y or z.

    I don't give a fup where you have just "cheked in" and I don't want to see pics of you on holidays with your wrinkley granny in a bathing suit. If you tag me in a photo I will slap you so hard your mother couldn't even love you anymore.

    Aaahhhhh, better. Thanks OP.

    Delete your account.

    I did, I don't miss it.

    Facebook is the greatest hits of other peoples lives, even if they're doing boring mundane ****... oh look I cooked dinner.. here is a picture of it... WOW!

    I fully +1 this post.... ;)

    Google plus is actually decent for what it's worth, OP should take a goo, you can have a circle (Friends group) for "w@nkers" and you dont see their inane bollockology show up in your feed, it's decent....

    Highly doubt it. There is nothing antisocial about not wanting to know every little detail of your friends lives.

    Do you even know the meaning of "sociopath"?

    Im not a fan of FB myself however, tad harsh

    Not really.

    Why should I care about someone kids? :confused:

    And if you tell your friends not to tag you in any photos...and then they do....they get a slap.

    If that's what you class as harsh, then fcuk, just as well I held back.

    Actually, not really.

    I deleted my account. Not because I'm rabidly anti-facebook. I just started to find it a silly waste of time. And yes, I'm aware of the difference between 'deactivate' and 'delete'. I heard that the info of deleted accounts was held, so I tried my old login and password, and lo and behold - newsfeed still active, notifications still coming in!

    I've repeated this several times over the last six months. FB really should give their delete account monkeys a better brand of peanuts!

    Not a TGC thread. Moved to AH


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Not an AH thread either.

    FB is evil.
