I am going to get a Soap Box here, so if you offend easily, STOP READING NOW!!!
Recently, I was able to hear a conversation about Facebook and the people having the conversation were talking about blocking people, hiding people, defriending people and all the other things people do to avoid contact with someone else. I started thinking to myself, "that is the reason I stay off Facebook." Don't get me wrong, Facebook is good for somethings, for example, I do use it to get pictures for the Yearbook! Outside of that I am always in deactivation mode. It is too much drama to block people and hide people. I think its childish to do that. If you don't want to be their Facebook friend just reject them. I don't know, maybe I am being too harsh but I think it's petty to get caught up in the whole mess of it. So what if someone searches for you, there is a way for your page to be protected where they can't see your pictures and other activity but the whole blocking and hiding is ridiculous. If you dont want to be a friend just reject them. Let's be honest, they are probably not trying to be your friend anyway (don't be vain).

agreed, someone blocked me once .............but i was just like oh well who cares about you
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you. I knew someone who got into a fight over some mess on Facebook and it's just not worth it. If parents actually monitored these social websites, they probably wouldn't let their kids on. Notice how I emphasize "probably." I like how you deal with real issues on your block and love the way you write. Good job. I hope you feel the same about mine.
ReplyDeleteNow i disagree and agree what I mean by that is I would use Facebook for everything but I would not hide people or block people I just simply reject them. Now I do disagree with the whole starting mess thing because the person can end the mess if they wanted to but no they want to make the mess seem even worse than before. If someone starts mess with me i just delete the message and never read it.
ReplyDeletenow i have a reason not to go on facebook
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I really use facebook for is seeing who's birthday it is today. It is good for some things like you said.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Facebook can be fun at times but sometimes people just take it way to seriously!!
