No need

Everyone has blocked you, including some church groups that you may or may not have been a part of.

You only have yourself to blame.

Has the other thread gone?

HoldenMcGroin · 17/10/2014 22:47

Pahahaha at you two

WorraLiberty · 17/10/2014 22:47

On the other hand, if you want a second opinion you should probably spam the internet Grin

I'm not sure ssd was on that thread... so this might seem a bit mean to her!

ChippingInLatteLover · 17/10/2014 22:49

I'd delete facebook in its entirety if I could!

Then maybe MN wouldn't be half so fecking angsty either!

RJnomore · 17/10/2014 23:06

Fb is a pile of pants. I have genuinely never known any good come of it.

FB - fuck buddy...or it could be facebook Grin

shitatusernames · 18/10/2014 08:26

I have actually blocked facebook on pretty much everything, hardly go on now and I love it, not seeing the crap people put anymore is very calming and doesn't leave me in a pissed off mood Grin

Vunderbaard · 18/10/2014 08:35

How do you 'block' Facebook? Would you just sign out or delete your account?

shitatusernames · 18/10/2014 08:42

There are add ons etc, it's a bit more complicated on Internet explorer, but if I try to go on it just doesn't let me, it's like the child settings, blocking them from going on certain sites.

AdamLambsbreath · 18/10/2014 08:43

You could just unfollow every single person you're connected to.

AdamLambsbreath · 18/10/2014 08:45

But you'd still get the fucking stupid adverts.

That one about the '1 weird old tip of losing belly fat' [sic] pisses me off every time. Let alone the fact that being a woman of my age means I can ONLY be interested in washing powder, baby clothes and weight loss.

Actually, I'm not sure why I'm on it.

CelibacyCakeAndElevatorMuzac · 18/10/2014 08:52

I'm a Facebook addict.

I've deleted the app and am on day 2 cold turkey.

I find it can be a lifeline when I sit here night after night, alone. Talking crap or having japes or occasional rants and discussions, as I would if I had somebody in the room with me.

However, it is all too easy to get sucked in and piss about on there whilst real life stacks up, unattended, all around me.

So, as with everything, used as the occasional treat and not taken too seriously = fine. I wasn't using it like that and feel it has become detrimental to my daily routine.

I can't delete completely as I have people on there who I only know online (from here and another forum) and I don't want to lose touch with such a lovely bunch of atrocious cunts Grin
