You make some great point. I deleted my facebook account about 3 years ago, it was just corny to me. I still check my Instagram for some cheap laughs here and there. Most the people post on facebook is exaggerated bull on how great their lives are and make it seem like they have "money to blow". It's mostly a front and it's a good outlet for people to boost their egos. People spend so much time in general glued to their computers, phones and other devices checking out what everyone else is doing. It's more productive to use that time to better your own personal life without having to update everything that's going on the internet. You don't need a hundred likes and "great job" comments to ensure you're successful. |

I believe in the good old adage that goes "It's not what you say, but how you say it". It's only failed me once on Facebook (though the guy apologised later on).
For example, just last week a good friend posted some "proof" the foreign media believes Brazil is an underdeveloped backwater and thinks exactly like the middle-class protesters from last year, as if there was a greater-than-Sochi backlash. It was an article by a big French magazine that was supposedly censored in Brazil (hah!) with many bullet points, such as "France opposed the ascension of Brazil to the Security Council in the UN because Labour is the most corrupt government in Brazilian history and the country is currently a joke", though the very opposite happened.
So, instead of calling him out, I pointed out the fact there are no signs of this magazine's existence on Google, and showed how the facts run counter to what he had posted.
So far, no harm done to our friendship (as far as I've seen).

Unsurprisingly, I've pissed a lot of friends-of-friends off on there. |
But sometimes friends of friends are just asking to be abused with minimal repercussions :gsmile:. Especially the mac fanbois :mad:.
I think facebook has caused some people to be a lot more chilled out and less judgemental though. People just learn so much more about what everyone else is doing that it forces people to change their attitudes. Personally I can't really not use it as it's the primary place I talk to friends and it's how I find out about music parties. |
