I sometimes think of the number of support groups and even recreational groups I've missed out on over the years, simply because they insist on being on Facebook.

And then I watch FB descend further into its AI hell and think I dodged several bullets.

[(Anonymous)]

Same, same. I deleted my Facebook in 2011 during a breakdown, and never touched it since then since I'm not on speaking terms with my extended family. I tried to come back last year for networking and good god, it's barely usable.

[tabaqui]

Eh. I wouldn't be able to easily communicate with my overseas family without FB, as they don't do things like Signal and regular emails and all. So it has its uses. I got to connect, also, with the individuals running for office in my districts, as well, so that was a plus.

I think if you curate it, use all the ad blockers and extensions that limit it, and keep your private stuff off it, it's fine, for a working definition of 'fine'.

[(Anonymous)]

to be honest most "support" groups on Facebook that I joined weren't really supportive. People seemed more eager to lecture than just ... do what I think a support group is, which is listen (or, well, read) and sympathize.

[dragonofmordor]

The number of Facebook groups that are supposed to be a fan group for one thing, but instead spend 90% of the time bashing this other thing is so frustrating.

[(Anonymous)]

I know just what you mean. I deleted mine years ago because they made private information public without asking me, not once but twice, and I lost my shit after the second time. I do feel like I miss out on a lot, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure it's a cesspool and I'm better off staying away.

[(Anonymous)]

The main reason I still have an active fb is because if all the awesome grouos I'm in. I've met so many amazing people and new friends irl because of those groups.

That and, shockingly to other people, it is the main source of finding jobs and networking for my field.

People like to knock fb, and for good reasons it *is* and evil company, but there is a lot of good that's come of the site as well. I think people that have "cesspool" feeds and complain just don't know how to manage their feeds or properly use the site.

[arcanetrivia]

Even besides the AI crap, it's basically impossible to be sure a post you make to a group is actually being seen by any of the members. Most people are not pulling tricks like https://www.facebook.com/?filter=groups&sk=h_chr to view only their groups' posts in reverse chronological order (which only helps so much as Facebook won't let you go back more than a few days at a time), and getting email notifications of all posts to a group doesn't seem to work anymore, so all you as the poster have is the utter crapshoot that is Facebook's algorithm for what goes on people's general timeline/feeds. I stopped promoting an event I help run in the relevant Facebook groups I'm still a member of because there was just never any response and only one or two people over several years even said they heard about the event there.

[dinogrrl]

Same. I've never been on Facebook, ever, and I know I've missed out on some really cool groups and meetups and social events etc etc over the years, but...I consider missing out on Facebook itself to be enough positive to outweigh missing out on Facebook-based groups. That thing that really ticks me off nowadays is when places like restaurants have ALL their information on Facebook, down to the menu, and you can ONLY contact them via Facebook. In other words, completely inaccessible to anyone who's not on Facebook.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't had a FB account since 2013...ish? So I can't access the site enough to know what it's like nowadays.

I know I've missed out on both fandom and IRL stuff. And my privacy is 100% worth that to me. I allllmost went back a few years ago, but I would have had to give them my phone number. WTF? Hell no.

I do have an Instagram account to follow people, but I keep the notifications and its "access" to my device (again, what the actual fuck?) turned off.

[starfleetbrat]

facebook is good for local groups, like for local neighbourhood news, and for local freebie groups. My local "pay it forward" group has tons of free stuff offered everyday. Furniture, clothing, crafting stuff, everyday items etc. I had a clean out last year and got rid of so much stuff just giving it away on there.

And there is a sewing projector group which is amazing for help and for recommendations for projectors to use for projecting sewing patterns onto a table/fabric.

But otherwise I agree. I only use it on my computer, and I've tried to curate it as best as possible and only use it once in blue moon but even then there is so much crap that shows up my feed. I have to go to the individual groups to see the group posts I want to see, and then FB makes it hard to see the new posts sometimes.

[(Anonymous)]

I had a facebook for like maybe 2 years because my DnD group at the time was using the chat to organise our games and to do character stuff with the DM. But we all got fed up of it and moved to other ways of communicating and I haven't logged into my facebook in well over 10 years.

I never had mine attached to my real name though so like I was violating a basic terms of use service, but it never got deleted lol. So it can stay there collecting dust because it's not my name there. Won't log back in though, I'm not interested and there's no point.

I am glad that the Sonic retro forums are still up after over 20 years. That forum provides so much info on rom hacking and provides undeniable proof of what opinions were commonplace in the sonic fandom during the early 2000s. It feels like a time capsule from the 2000s

Ever since my little sister went through my things, found my fanfiction drafts and told my mom I was queer a few years ago, I've been too scared to write fanfiction.

I hope my sister never gets roommates in college.(She always had a nasty habit of going through people's things, even though she's in her 17 almost 18 now)

I always thought it would be funny to see a subversion of the "Hero spares the villain because every life is sacred " trope by having the Hero corner the villain and then the villain tosses a wad of cash/jewels/valuables at the hero to convince the hero to spare their life. The hero only decides to spare the villains life because of the bribe of money/jewels/valuables, not because of morals/principles.

Transcript - Walter Koenig

[(Anonymous)]

Chekov was a great character. But Koenig's most best role will always be Bester. He really should have been given more villain roles. He was very good at playing villainy.

I'll admit that I was not a big fan of the new Mononoke movies. They took everything that was great about the old series, dialled it up to 15 and never stopped to consider that maybe, constant sensory overload and too much of everything ALL THE TIME wasn't the greatest choice. Where the old series had style and substance in a balance, it felt like the movies went for 80 % style, 20 % substance.
But I did love the cameo at the end of the third movie, the expansion of the lore and am tentatively looking forward to the new project with the new Kusuriuri.

I wanted to adopt a dog that used to belong to a blacksmith.

Unfortunately, the second I got him home, he made a bolt for the door...
