Really irritating Facebook posts

I have just been deleting links to things that some of my lovely FB friends have put on - just click the tiny downward arrow and you can delete that and anything else that comes from that source but still stay friends with the person who posted that link.

.....well I agree about the menacing expression!! ?

I agree about the 'cut and paste' pleas but I have to say I have spent many a wasted and pleasurable minute watching kitties being cute.

I have been able to use FB effectively to promote my charity locally. I receive lots of interest and support. It has helped me enormously. So I can ignore the tedious and accept this is the way of the world. We must be the master of technology.

This link explains all about these posts and why they are done. I don't Copy & Paste or forward these on. They make no difference anyway, as we know, and here is a link to some of the reasons why

Are you sure they actually asked you to be a friend? Facebook does put up pictures of pople that they think you might know eg friends of friends or people in your emails addresses. I usually ignore them.

Sorry that was to Starlily!

Yes, that sounds more likely. I have one friend with a very exotic lifestyle and over 2000 FB "friends" that keep popping up on my newsfeed as people I may know. I'm sure my life would be a lot more exciting if I did know them, but the answer's no, I don't.

The ones that I particularly hate, are the Facebook versions of what used to be called chain letters. They'll say things along the lines of 'If you don't pass this on to 2 million friends, something hideous will happen to you.'

I always unfriend people that send those.

I have a friend who tells me she forwards all the posts to her entire friends list. I had to unfollow to keep my sanity but have also kept my friendship......

I just scroll on down and ignore them.

I have hate those dreadful say Amen things and ignore them.
I have stopped following campaigns to a large extent. There is a limit to what you can do. and it is not difficult to choose to stop seeing posts from whoever.

The Amen ones seem to have stopped thank goodness they flooded at one time but haven't seen one for the last few months now

Keffie - very interesting article - thanks.
