What is this peculiar Facebook behaviour?

[Peggyrostrup]

Further to the recent thread about Facebook admin sometimes being power hungry loonies, I have a question!

I was recently left a FB group. We go back years and parted company over “creative differences and disparate focus.” 🙄

There are also loads of Facebook messenger threads, going back years and years, with various sub groups discussing various stuff, most of it banal.

One of the admin, who has form for spectacularly falling out with people, has carefully gone back through every thread we were both on and either removed me, where she can, or deleted herself. What that then does is bounces the thread back up to the top of Facebook messenger. I can of course still see the thread and posts up to that moment.

However can someone explain to me what the point is? One has just bounced up from 5 years ago, containing me, drama admin, and one other. Drama admin has removed herself so now me and the other person, who I haven’t spoken to for years, are both like “what?”

why bother? (I’ve asked drama-admin, she won’t reply. I’m dead to her. Dead!)😆

Over 60 threads so far! Has she nothing better to do?

That's hilarious. No idea why they do that. When I used to be on one (totally mad as a box of frogs) they would start a brand new "modmin" chat every time they added a new mod/admin so that the new admin wouldn't see everyone's previous bitching 😂then they would have a couple of weeks of fake politeness before bitching about everyone all over again.

Since I left I expect I have been bitched about, screenshots of stuff I've posted in other groups etc pulled apart. I mean I hope that they don't care but they were doing it to other people so I expect they have done it to me as well. Oh well!

Will go off to look for other thread as boggling at mad FB admin stuff makes me laugh.

It’s a thing then? I’d never heard of it! She’s making herself look like a dick though, so there must be some good reason?

is it so she can explain when someone asks her? Drama/attention/drama/attention etc

I knew it did the bumping thing in main Facebook but I didn't realise deleting things in messenger also bumped it up, that explains a few things!

I assume she's doing it because she suspects you're going to screen shot the chat and it's incriminating for her - either bitching or offensive in some way?

That’s why I don’t get it. Threads going back years and years saying stuff like “Debs had the baby, will we send flowers?” That sort of stuff. The only common denominator is of both she and I are on it. She either removes me or leaves the thread. But then in any event the thread is bounced.

So nothing I could/would screen shot even if I was the sort that would! I can’t get over how absolutely furious she must be to go to THIS amount of trouble! I think she might be unwell really.

presumbly WhatsApp will be next as there were a few group chats there too.

Send her a message with instructions on how to block people

She’s blocked and unblocked me several times already, so she knows what she’s doing. It’s the “why” though? Like, why even be arsed?

Block her so you don't see her little games.

Yes block her! Then she won’t be able to delete you because she CANT SEE YOU and will know you’ve blocked her!

She will be FUMING.

Some admins of Facebook seem to enjoy the power thing. They love to be in charge and have control over others.

I am an admin for a few Facebook groups and I've set them so anyone can post anything. In the past few years I've deleted a few posts offering stuff that was nothing to do with the groups

I am a member of other groups where an admin has to approve every post. I just wonder why they don't get a life.

Send her a message and remind her to delete X thread.

Why’s she doing it though?

I know someone who did it so that it wasn't there looking at her in her chats, reminding her of something she didn't want to think about. She was deleting all her social media, and just very thorough.

It's extremely ineffective from everyone else's pov as you say, it just highlights what she's done.

I would have blocked her the first time it happened.

Because she needs a hobby? She clearly has a lot of time on her hands.
