YANBU : A sign of imbalance. Some things should stay private.

YABU : Do what you like. There is no problem being a completely open book to all.

I agree completely. I am fed up with people posting photos of their pretty ordinary looking dinners, baked bread etc it is even worse during Lockdown.

@Euclid it's made me feel grateful that my reward system is intrinsic. And realise that I'm a humble person after all.

Haha you don't sound that humble!

I barely post my own content on social media. I comment on others, am on groups and share posts mainly.

Honestly, let people do what they want. If they are annoying me, I can mute their posts. Let people post what they want on their own social media.

I mute people whose social media content annoys me because I am mature enough to recognise that other people aren’t wrong just because they do things differently to me.

I know someone who does this, it’s like if she doesn’t post it on Facebook then it didn’t happen?

slartibarti · 10/06/2020 08:24

I came off facebook years ago because I was bored with all the sharing.
But people can post what they like. No one's forcing you to read it.

Why do you keep posting dots?

notacooldad · 10/06/2020 09:47

I dont think it's as bad as it was a few years ago tbh.

Witchofzog · 10/06/2020 09:49

What's with the dots? That's really annoying too Hmm

DysonFury · 10/06/2020 09:49

I don't have idiots as friends online or in real life. This eradicates the problem.

RaspberryIsMyJam · 10/06/2020 09:50

I don't give a fuck what people post on social media tbh. It's their page, they can post what they like

x2boys · 10/06/2020 09:52

Don't go on Facebook then if annoys you ?yep some people are irritating I have one Facebook friend who massively over shares but I just ignore her posts,we both have disabled children so I,m loathe to delete her .

TooTiredTodayOk · 10/06/2020 10:00

The "snooze this person for 30 days" has been a godsend during lockdown.

Actually I'm so sick to the back teeth of social media I've barely been on it the past 2 weeks.

I think it's worse at the moment with people posting inane shite because they just want some kind of social interaction - some of my Facebook friends seem to have lost at perspective - because we're all bloody cooped up and I'm assuming these people are craving contact.

Homemadeandfromscratch · 10/06/2020 10:06

what about people who follow others on social media when they don't like them and just want to bitch about them?

EmbarrassedUser · 10/06/2020 13:35

Saddo’s with nothing better to do who want to show the world how wonderful their life is. Usually only doing it for likes. Also often guilty of cryptic status’ followed by ‘I’ll PM you Hun’ 😡😡

Homemadeandfromscratch · 10/06/2020 13:36

why are you friend or following these "saddos" EmbarrassedUser?

Heronwatcher · 10/06/2020 13:41

That’s what Facebook is for. There’s no maximum daily post limit. Maybe these people are lonely, maybe they know that some of their friends really like the interaction. Who knows? Just mute them if it annoys you or maybe have the balls to unfriend them. You’re not a superior person because you use Facebook differently.

TrickorTreacle · 10/06/2020 14:01

I think throughout the entire lockdown period, I have posted on my own wall once, and posted 2 or 3 happy birthday posts on their walls.

HibiscusPot · 10/06/2020 14:28

I know people who are lovely, just outgoing and enjoy contact, who do this. I can’t get worked up over it. If anything I like the interaction. I have friends who are so sanctimonious about phones or social media posts, I don’t personally benefit from their righteousness so I don’t really care either.

FudgeBrownie2019 · 10/06/2020 15:04

I'm a humble person after all.

And yet you're here announcing your humility to the world...

I don't mind what people do. SM doesn't impact on my life enough for me to worry about what others are doing on it.

andawe · 10/06/2020 15:07

Are the dots bumps? Haha cringe
