My friend deleted Facebook about ten years ago. I’ve kept mine; I don’t post but I follow several local groups and pages, which are by far the most up to date source of what’s going on in our area. Most of these groups have websites or Instagram pages, but they’re rarely updated.
We met up recently, and I mentioned a free baby first aid course I’d done. She said she hadn’t seen it on Instagram and would’ve gone if she’d known. This isn’t the first time she’s missed something local and been annoyed. She asked if I could let her know about events I see on Facebook that might interest her. I said I’d try but now I’m thinking that I really don’t want to be her personal Facebook feed. The groups and pages that are freely accessible to anyone with an account. She’s also asked me to list things for her on Marketplace before, which I refused because it’s too much faff but that was a few years ago and she hasn’t asked since.
I think what’s annoying me is that she’s very vocal about how she’s better off without Facebook, and is happy to give me an extra admin load to stay off there. It’s not a huge job, but it is still admin, and with a baby I’m often checking Facebook at odd hours and won’t remember to pass things on later. I have said that she doesn’t even need friends, she can create a blank profile with no friends or photos, just to follow pages and groups, but she didn’t want to. AIBU to not want to start doing this for her?
