Is Facebook as we know it going to change?

I stumbled on this earlier and thought I’d share it here as to compliment this discussion. Clearly a case of David and Goliath here, with Facebook certainly playing the part of coming across as bullying

@phenomlab Meh… anyone else hearing voices inside of their heads?..

@gotwf aside from the bullying tactics, you’d think they (Facebook) could have come up with something more creative than “Meta”…

@jac As is usual, yes.

@phenomlab to some it is a diary and a way of life now. To me it’s just a simple way to keep in touch with family, but I hardly ever use it and wish I never had!

@jac You know what - I’ve NEVER used it. I only subscribed once to see what all the fuss was about, that lasted no more than 12 minutes before I deleted the account.

@phenomlab It’s the same for me really I had an account years ago and then deleted it, only to get a new one years later to keep in touch with family. Even now I very hardly log on.
It’s just a glorified diary for people to put all their c**p on.

@jac Yeah, exactly. I really can’t see any point to a platform where you feel compelled to post pictures of your dinner or selfies that make you look like a fish

@phenomlab absolutely, my neighbor posts her life on there. I hate it.

@jac I have the same with family members - even down to holiday dates and whey they are going. Might as well just put a sign above the door that says “we’re on holiday - feel free to break in”.

Snap mate, this is the thing that most annoys me about it. Not only that but feel free to look towards my house too whilst you’re at it
. Facebook is an absolute joke and has taken over some people’s life’s quite frankly. -

And it’s always “such a such said this on Facebook” or “it was on Facebook” etc. Really grates on mate mate

.@jac That makes two of us. In fact, this very news article (obviously not real - parody) was posted on Facebook. An acquaintance of my family (I call them that as they certainly aren’t friends
) asked my wife if I had trouble getting home that night as she’d read on Facebook that a train had been stolen.My wife tried to keep a straight face as she informed this person “do you realise what you’ve just said” ??

. The concept of Facebook was probably a good idea at the time for what it was, but it’s certainly a poisoned chalice and I for one don’t trust it. -

Facef*** will never change. Unless people change and demand accountability. And then be ready to vote with their feet. This, I think, is a rather impossible bar for the average luser’s to clear. Hence…
@gotwf Great analogy
