to be really pissed off with these FB memories posts

[Mummaaaaaah]

my sister has posted 6 pictures of her PFB (now 5!) in the past 10 hours.........

I hate them too. And the vast majority are of inane shit I wasn't interested in the first time round...

It's just wading through the flood, to get to more interesting recent stuff Figgy. Some people post in considerable VOLUME.

This! I don't mind the occasional one, I quite like mine popping up, but when I logged on this morning I waded through reams and reams of it.

Totally agree for big occasions it's nice. One friend's 15th anniversary today for example. I just find it odd that people think other people want to see 5 or 6 pictures in a row of their children 5, 4, 3 ,2 1 years ago. I don't think that makes me miserable, its just not what I think FB is primarily for.

Just wondered if it was just me ..

10 separate occasions over the past 5 years. I find it wearying....

granularity would be great - so i could still see what they are up to now (the good bits of fb) but cut out the memories, timehops, shared ads and all cat videos.

That persons memories. That persons timeline. Theirs to keep. Unfollow

Wow,..the absolute bastard!!
A proud Mum posting pictures of her child on her own FB page! Whatever next?
Time goes so fast so I imagine your sister is wanting to re live the baby years?
If you don't like it. Don't look at them, or don't have her on your friends list.
My friends post all types of shite on FB. I ignore it after mumbling 'Dickhead' to myself.

I sort of agree, but then I find so much of Facebook annoying - however I've changed the way I'm using it. I'm seeing it as a sort of diary for my family life. At the end of each year our photos and comments are printed out into one of those 'life book' things to have on our bookshelf and I love them. My Facebook is for me, others' is for them.

I quite like getting my own FB memories posts on my own timeline as a reminder of how people have changed, happy times etc.

However would never dream of sharing & think those who do are frankly weird. There's one friend who does this when it's a post about something funny her husband said 3 years ago. Who gives a fig ...

I quite like them.

Although I did have one that was a photo of me and my DP who was killed in an accident three years ago which was quite a shock to see on waking up in the morning. But that's not Facebook's fault.

I like them and I keep sharing, just scroll on if you don't like it!

I love it as I am not re-saving them all. I lost all of my photos from the first month of my DS life as my phone broke and my iCloud wasn't on! He was in NICU then I had him on the ward with me for 17 days so had so many pics that were personal to me as I spent all that time on my own with him, feeding charts Id filled in and things noone else had. Lesson learned.

Someone needs to create a rival site for all the miserable fuckers to gather and bitch about their Facebook 'friends'.

They could call it...Mumsnet.

YABU. It's very annoying I agree but, you can unfollow

right have unfollowed. bit sad really, tis my sister after all. but I want to see what her DCs are up to now, not a ream of events over the past year every morning. shame.

I think my Facebook might have it in for me - every single one of the 'memories' it has shown me lately have been either my husband and I happily together (he left me) or my lovely old dog (PTS a few weeks ago). I'm getting a bit worried now every morning when I open it up, to see what terrible memories it might have dredged up for me now...

i dont like it either i got one a picture of my sister and i together why this upset me.My sister died i do not want to be reminded of that

I don't mind them....my facebook feed is filled with all kinds of stuff, from politics, to the cheesiest memes. Just keep scrolling :)

Cheby I use the Timehop app which does exactly the same thing.

Frankly, people who post loads of pics of their kids on FB give me the creeps. Who wants random strangers looking at pics of their kids?

Jebus! What brought me back here to you nitpicking ninnies... Have you really got nothing better to talk about than some witless moron who hasn't got the slightest idea what tact is, and compounds her idiocy by bleating to other morons in order to feel like a "good" friend? Learn FB settings, AND accept that you've been as tactless as an aquaintance! Friend?? With friends like that who needs enemies! pfft!

Unfollow if you don't like it.

H updates me most mornings of what we were doing this time a year ago or two years ago or five years ago, and it's interesting to me but he never shares it because the mundane snapshot of our life x years ago is boring to anyone but us.

A FB friend shares photos and memes every day of everyone in her family who has ever died, from her mother who died suddenly 3 years ago (understandable) to her great uncle who died before she was born (a little bit odd). I unfollowed her a while ago but occasionally dip into her feed and am quickly reminded why I unfollowed.

Similarly another FB friend has a nearly 9-month-old daughter and shares photos of her every day, past and present, and I love that because, well, a cute photo of a laughing baby makes me smile.

FB has its place. It is a social network. Handy for seeing friends' holiday snaps without them getting the album out when you go round. Handy for learning about school changes and school closures etc. Handy for communicating with people when the mobile network goes down. Handy for lots of things, but with the tedium of looking at someone else's past statuses I'd suggest unfollowing. If you unfollow it doesn't mean you unfriend.

Oh! The hateful, smug, nostalgic people that continually proudly post pics of their loved-ones should clearly forfeit the right to social media, as opposed to the people that continually post narcisistic info and pics of themselves all day long We actually don't want to see another gormless selfy of you

Those are the two camps are they mums?

yes mums because it really is that black and white
