Do you use Facebook? I signed up years ago, I have not learned my way around it.

I guess I need to, some places like our church use it to keep everyone up to date.

Thats the rub.


If you dont Facebook....you dont know whats going on.



School Board meetings are posted on FaceBook.


It could be worse. Not having Facebook keeps you from attending events that would probably be filled with people who have and use Facebook.

Hell NO !!! 🤠

Nay

Along with religion type stuff, that crap should be unconstitutional.

Favoring one form of social media (and its owners) over another. Shame.

Did they put it out for competitive bid? Maybe instagram or tweeter might have won out.

Geno

No. Could not care less what folks are eating or drinking at the moment. If this site is social media. then this is the extent for me.

I do.

Not many friends. I like to look at the swap shop groups.

I’ve recently got on Instagram. I can look at the custom makers knives for awhile.

Hell no

I Signed up years ago, looked like a good way to keep in touch with relatives. But then started getting notifications like my cousin's son's wife dog pooped. friend requests from frends of friends of friends of friends of relatives I didn't know I had. And endless "cute" pictures. I pretty much ignore it now.

No

I do, super easy to piss off super liberals. My buddy on there has it down to an art form. Pretty entertaining watching people's head explode.

Northern "neighbor".

some days this site is anti-social media.

Geno

I do. It's real easy to filter out the stuff you don't want to see. Lots of good hunting, fishing, gun, bushcraft, etc., pages out there. Not much different than here though. Someone starts a topic, then someone else knows more, then everyone is calling each other names.

none for me

Was on several years ago. Dropped it when I found the level of filtering of friends and news FB was doing without my knowledge / awareness. No interest in having Zuckerbugger decide what information to feed me, nor to keep on me...

Asking if you use Facebook on a website where the average age of the majority of the users is probably ~70 will bring you a lot of no’s.

I have a FB acct., I just haven't posted anything on it for years.

It's a free service.

Wife has Facebook. I would be in FACEBOOK JAIL. To honest about what I say!!!!!!

I use it to keep up with people I care about. Grandkids as much as anything. Some good gun groups.

Facebook makes good money off of it's free service.

Nope no thanks. LinkedIn for business only.

While I use Facebook groups to buy and sell farm equipment, I agree about all the useless posts..........such as...."Look, here we are with our wonderful little darling grandkids at McDonalds, where little Joey had the Kids Meal with chicken nuggets, and Zoe had a cheeseburger, while Marvin had a Big Mac, and I had the McRib."


They're about as bad as the posts about how............"My darling wife and I are celebrating our 3rd anniversary today, and I just want to say that Mabel I love you and I am the luckiest man alive".............and then all their friends have to comment about how lucky Mabel is to have a husband like Oscar.

Not into it.

Yep I've used it a bunch

There are literaly hundreds of specialized groups

You like the Savage 99......there is a closed group
You like Dillon or Hornady or Lee ect ect.....you guessed it

Tons of hunting groups and its easy to "ignore" people
When you block a FB user you don't see the crap they post and they cant see yours

Way better then the Forums and IMO it's the reason Forums have died

There is even a closed group for guys that used to come here.....
Very private and exclusive group......

So does 24 hour campfire

Wifey has an account, not me! My young grandkids say Facebook is for old people

Yep...she's right

Ask her about web forums......she has probably never heard of them

Youngsters use Snapchat and Instagram

I enjoy it a LOT. Got lots of "friends" that I hear from daily if I want too. I'm in that "exclusive group"..

We have a great group of guys over on Double D's FB group.

The wife does. It is good for some local information, but is mostly (at least her friends) a bunch of flowers and bunnies and that sort of thing. Seems to be a lot of "chain letter" posts that want everybody to pass on something that will cause some magic happening.

Absolutely.
The latest...up to the minute stuff.
Too many crusty curmudgeons here refuse to step up.
I love Facebook....it keeps me with family...friends and current events.
The stuff that crosses my page is amazing...

Over a page , and still on track, what's happened to the old 'fire?

Negative!!

I use it

Spot on

PLUS.....WAY WAY Easier to post pictures and video

There is Instagram, twitter. George Jones followed our daughter till he died.

My wife has a personal page and another for the store. Great way to advertise your business. I'm thinking about putting one up myself to advertise the kennel end. Haven't done so yet because like a lot of you, I despise it. But if I find I can increase revenue because of it, I'll just have to hold my nose and close my eyes and run with it.

I have danced with many of the Devils daughters, but not with ol’ Lucifer hisself. No facebook for me

Goober would be perfect for Facebook.
Tell everyone when he’s having coffee or doing a little poopy or even when the cows are coming home.
Your a shoe in..

wonder if he ever went into a bar.... and the bartender asked him
Why the long face???

Facebook supports/is the enemy. No thanks

Yes along with a very long list of other merchants I am willing to bet you do business with regularly!

Isn't it funny how we pick and choose which are the devil themselves and which ones well you know they are the devil but.........

Facebook “shares” (steals) personal info. No thanks.
Facebook actively tries to subvert anything that doesn’t have a liberal slant. No thanks
Facebook users are fools. No thanks

Instant aversion to twitter - don't want to be known as a twit.

WOW fools? Maybe you should take a closer look in the mirror. I forget what the FB base is at now, but that is a whole lot of fools if you were to be correct. Funny there are many famous, successful, smart, well adjusted, good people on there. I suppose you are doing them all a favor staying clear of FB. Carry on

...and that's why I need Instagram. Informative, entertaining video like that 24/7.

But then I'm still trying to figure out texting. At work every break time the younger people would immediately pull out their phones and ticky-ticky the whole break time. WTF do they have to say that's worth listening to? The resident in room 101 tried to flush a wipe and plugged the toilet, making the maintenance guy's morning? (nursing home)

I use it every day. Facebook gets MOST of it's information from the users themselves. If there is something you don't want them to know, then don't tell them. Kind of like a gun forum on the world wide web any other place.

I like IG better than FB.

If Budweiser is the enemy, I don't want to know about it

Facebook owns IG.

They certainly are not our friend! Enemy I don't know about. I think for the most part they straddle the let's not shoot ourselves in the foot with our own gun!

Really? No kidding?

They are different platforms. Like I said I like IG better.

Yes. Keep in touch with friends and family.... politics when needed.

If you think supporting Facebook and Zuckerberg is ok, have at it. I won’t support someone that is actively calling for more gun control, pushing liberalism and silencing conservatism. Formulating and steering public opinion based on what they view as acceptable. I know that stuff is unimportant and can be overlooked because they have neat chat groups that revolve around model 99’s, you can see pics of your “friends”, etc. to each his own. I’ll pass.

Zuckerberg is a joo, millenial self made billionaire who appears white. There recently was reported a day when 1 billion people around the world utilized facebook. I guess I should fear being indoctrinated against my will since I am a helpless old white guy.

Or, some people need to up their game and make the leap into 2020 AD. That would be difficult for some.


mike r

Interesting, my feed is all conservative link suggestions... Hunting groups, wildlife groups, PragerU, Tucker, Fox news, Trump support, ect and nothing Liberal... guess they read me right.

Family and friends connections I wouldn't have.

Marketplace that's better than CL.

Less bitches than here.

Kent

I have been dumped by all but 3-4 of my liberal facebook friends. I don't even try to piss them off.

I use it regularly. I can check in with the dog park group and see who's going. I have watched grand nieces and nephews grow up on it. Lots of good hunting and fishing reports. I use it extensively for work.

Yes, and I have quite a few members from the Fire as friends on my Facebook account.

Facebook can be tailored to you own wants and needs.

Lynn

Just went and looked, I have 135 friends and 62 are from here.

Kent

You just donated to the state of California.

Dog parks are amazing.

You don't have to have fb friends.

Haha!


You cast a wide net.

Nope

I need to get drug kickin;, and scremin' into the 2st century

I'm a small fry, there's at least a couple hundred guys from here I see cross posting with those on my list.

Kent

Everyone's so nice on facebook, I have to come here when I get ornery...

Kent

I suppose they do mine my preferences, this was at the top of my feed just now, I don't click on a lot of stuff usually, just let it slide by but this type of political content is the only I see on my page. I guess most on my friend list are conservative leaning and I get no liberal bleeding across the line.

I make good money off of Facebook...

I do. Have to for work. Tried to get off of it a year ago because it’s mostly stupid gossip. Due to the business I’m in, restaurant, bar and hotel, I have to manage what people post. There’s always someone posting something good or bad that has to be filtered for the general public. I fired an employee for posting “full moon and private party tonight, pray for me”. Someone in the party saw the post. Cancelled the party 2 hrs prior. Cost me $5k in lost revenue! That’s what I hate about social media. Years ago it was just chatter. Today everyone wears their feelings on their sleeve.

It’s a good way to keep up with old classmates and family though. Without FB I’d have no idea it’s someone’s birthday. lol.

I use it, very handy if you know how. I've made great buys, sold a fair bit as well, and will continue to do both. Easily the best classifieds in the area.

Belong to several groups where I've learned a lot of very specific information that would have been very difficult to acquire otherwise. Then there's the memes...

It's as useful or useless as you decide to make it, just another tool.

Wife has a facebook.


She uses it for selling and buying things.

Yep, "free". All the data they can gather and probably ads too.

And the "taxpayers" have to use the farcebook to find out what the hell is going on in their school districts, city govt, etc.

Geno

Phuq no. Phuq that facebook chit.

I’ve used Facebook as a tool for communication, advertising, catching up with old friends. I haven’t used it much the last few years because the libs use if so much for bashing it makes me nauseous.

But I have to admit these last few days it’s been a great tool for getting the word out and keeping track of what’s going on here in VA. The usually quiet conservative people are pissed and not afraid to say so.

Facebook is great for trolling old fools.

I infiltrated a 50 year high school reunion page, had dopes on a treble hook about me being a long lost classmate that had been supposedly dead.

Had a bud that lived in that community spoon feed me the particulars. (It was his great uncle)

Created a profile just for it.

Good times

Now that's a good use for facebook. Funny chit.

Just joined, caught up with some buddies from 20-30 years ago ^^^ but Kent's post above sums it up for me.

Irony...

For those saying they won't use Facebook because it 's left leaning... almost all social media is left leaning, I would bet whoever gets paid to host this site is left leaning. How do you get away from it?

Google, so some of you don't use google, then you use youtube to fix your truck, listen to music, post links here... it's owned by google.

Have cable TV, I don't, can't stand TV, but it's the life blood of liberal programming.

Instagram, Twitter, pinterest ? I don't use any of those but doubt they are owned by stanch conservatives.

All I can do is manage content that I'm exposed to, I can't do anything about who owns the source.

No one is holier than thou who turned on the computer and read this.

Kent

Facebook is pretty much what you make it. I don't see it much different then this site.

i have been on facebook for years. check it daily. i have gotten back in touch with a lot of people from school years ago, others that have moved away, and actually quite a few connected to this site. excellent way to share pictures, family, and common interests.
i belong to a number of special interest groups, such as sig sauer forums, ruger, garand, and other gun related pages.
it's world wide, and i have a number of friends in europe that we correspond pretty regularly.
facebook does do data mining, but it's controllable as to what you allow.
i do a certain amount of ancestor research, and combined with ancestry.com, facebook has put me in contact with numerous relatives from the old country.
excellent resource if you know how to use it.

that's pretty much my experience.
there are all kinds of closed in groups. you just have to chose what you want to belong to. most of my life as an example i have loved off road touring the back roads and ghost towns of arizona. So do others, and they are delightful groups.

waste of time.......signed up 3 yrs or so ago......

haven't been on it for 2+ yrs now......

so much use less BS.......

Facebook is a means of communication. Face-to-face talking is a form of communication. I suppose that no one should engage in face-to-face communication because there are those who support unacceptable positions who utilize face-to-face communication.

John, you make thing of Mickey Mantle telling congress he agreed with everything Casey just said.

Im on FB at least when im not in FB jail for pissing off liberals. Like anything else some really good stuff on there and a lot i can do without. Reconnected with a couple old friends. Met a few more with common interests, got invited on a few hunting and fishing trips. Some pretty good outdoor groups on there.

I take that as a compliment.

The last few photos that came across my Facebook page...
