What is the Facebook etiquette for the following. For those friends who post political or religious opinions every day and which of course show up on your news feed everyday does etiquette allow for a response or do you just let it go with the option to block them if it gets too annoying?
I realize you can always just make your own posts reflecting your own opinion in a separate post if you so desire.
Actually, I think it’s in a bit of bad taste to continually (daily) post about Republicans or Democrats or capitalism or whatever as it’s not really a personal message which is more or less what Facebook is for (in my opinion).
So I rarely post unless I’ve just done something interesting that friends I don’t see very often might care about. Posting a good thought every day or a pretty picture is bordering on being mindless although harmless so I make comments rarely.
I also realize you can do anything you want to on Facebook. However there is a certain etiquette. I’m not really sure what it is and thus the question. I don’t use it enough to know what the etiquette is. So help me…
I normally ignore most posts and if they constantly post stuff that starts to annoy me -- I unsubscribe from their status updates or from them totally.
Facebook is a funny place. I’ve tried pretty hard to keep “friends” on there to be people that I’ve actually had some good experiences with.
Some many be slightly annoying in person but most aren’t. However, there are a few that aren’t annoying in person that are annoying on Facebook.
There are some people that I don’t live near anymore but if something good, interesting or even bad happens to them I’d like to know about it. I don’t need to hear about their opinion of Obama or Romney every day however
Just ignore it. I have a best friend like that, except he shares pictures all the time, like he’ll sit there for an hour or two sharing dozens of stupid “funny” pictures. Other people do it too, I just especially hate the ones where they put like a cancer patient and everyones commenting “she’s beautiful”. It’s like “really?” you think a bald dieing 15 year old is beautiful? Stop trying to make it seem like your a good person. Funny thing is, it’s always the people who purposely cause drama and are bad people who do that…
Sorry bout the rant, just trying to get it out there that doing that is not cool.
This way immoral mean people can pretend to be a good morally upright person. If they really cared they would get off their fucked and do something to help like donating money to cancer research.
I hate Facebook. Wish I had never signed up, was goaded into it. I don't want to know about 95% of the trivial BS posted on peoples status updates. About the only positive I can think of is it has reconnected me to some friends and aquaintances I haven't seen in years. After reconnecting with most of them, I now remember why I haven't seen them in years. ;)
I don’t care what your precious little pookie did today .
Your bad hair day is your problem, not mine…
Those that I haven’t kept in touch with,are that way for a reason…
Facebook has a great tool called “unfriend”. Actually, the only really useful one. I use it a lot. It’s MY page and I run it the way I see fit. I don’t worry about hurting my “fake FB friends” feelings. Most don’t know they have been “unfriended” until much later anyway. Bottom line is that it’s only FB and nobody really cares what happens there. You shouldn’t either.
