Facebook is random as fuck?

ianbu

am I?

What's that all about?!

I think it's about that stuff not getting sent to you straight away so they can send you more videos.

Things can take ages to show up in a person's feed, if they ever do, especially if they are just text.

Which is a shame, because the text posts are often the funniest or most interesting.

Do you all have 60 million 'friends'? Only I don't have the issues. Very little crops up I don't want to see and when it does I ask not to see it anymore. Bingo. No games, no boring stuff. Very few adds except down the side which I ignore. I don't have it to be 'cool' whoever said that. I'm not 12!
Gymbob if you hate it and don't use it, why do you have it?

Honeysuckle you can view most recent on the android app by tapping the 3 bars on the top right of the screen. This brings up groups etc and you cab tap on most recent. Unfortunately you have to do this everytime as it doesn't stay on most recent.

Fb seem to want to make as un-user friendly as possible. So much random crap that I'm never going to be interested in while posts from pages I want to see no where to be found. I find myself scrolling through miles of X changed their profile picture, I DON'T FUCKING CARE I DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE! Just because one one of my friends liked it, it means jack shit to me. It's so irritating.

I've also noticed that I get different posts on my phone and laptop. I usually use my laptop but when I look on my phone newsfeed I see lots of posts there are nowhere to be seen on my laptop newsfeed.

dragon thank you! I'd been scrolling right past it on my way to "settings"!

YY to the random posts from friends of friends burying the updates from people I actually know and am interested in - it's definitely the most offputting development in a long history of them. Are they actively trying to stop people using it? I'm not sure it's crap security settings, as it's happened across the board, even for friends I know are very aware of privacy issues. I don't seem to be able to deactivate though, much as I'm tempted, it keeps pulling me back in...

Isn't there somewhere where you can pick and choose your notifications? I managed to stop anything to do with those bloody game requests.

I keep getting notifications about top posts in groups I'm a member of. Even if I've turned the group notifications off. I don't care about the top posts!

cardi I use it to keep an eye on the kids. have a fdd and unfortunately, she is quite inappropriate quite a lot

did you know
mn has a fb topic?

Apparently no. I wish MNHQ would advertise it more clearly.

I hate the Facebook snobs around that seem to think they're better human beings if they don't use Facebook. I use it, I like it mostly, I don't give a shiny shit if someone else doesn't use it, doesn't bother me in the slightest. My sister hops on and off, sometimes spending a few weeks off it. She always seems to feel the need to tell me that she's 'not posting at the moment'.....she 'feels it's sometimes too intrusive' 'she's sure she'll go back on in a few weeks' and to 'bear with her'......I DON'T CARE! Use it or don't use it, I couldn't care less!

There's an FB topic? Where?

And FB is really random...

Facebook topic:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/facebook

Im fed up seeing photos of people I have no clue about just because a friend has liked it. I am seriously considering chucking it

Afternoon all. There is indeed a Facebook topic. As this doesn't strictly speaking seem to be an AIBU, we're going to move this over to the FB topic in a moment.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Oh the irony Iona.

Seriously? someone's got too much time on their hands to be reporting things like this.

Seriously WTF? I was just reading, what I thought were the latest posts and then the whole shebang changed! Can someone tell me what to do to stop facebook messing with my head?

No this is an AIBU if there ever was one.

It is an aibu because I wanted to see if it was just me who has this, or was I imagining it.

If I weren't busy getting ready for my holiday I would now make it my mission to report every single non-aibu AIBU for the past week.
