It would appear that I have been kicked off facebook. Why? I can guess, but it would only be conjecture. I did post a couple of comments to a page about a personage in congress. I might have called her a bitch and a terrorist, but hey, that's no worse than what she has called other people.

Not that I will miss facebook, but there were a couple of pages on there that I liked and a couple of friends.

I have just one thing to say... fuck you zuckerberg and the facebook you rode in on.

It's times like this that I wish to hell that Lit had a simple "Like" button :D
 
Facebook has been down since this afternoon, claiming "for maintenance." Maybe that's what you're experiencing.
 
Yeah, it's been glitching all afternoon. Could just be that. I've seen so much worse than what you said above.
 
I used FB for family commo a bit over a decade ago because that was the only WiFi option in the steep town I infested then. No use since. Account now deleted and ignored. Feh.

FB is a criminal enterprise populated by suckers. Zuck mentioned long ago that his users were fucking idiots. Has that changed?

Welcome to Animal Farm and Truthspeak. Obviously you are not a qualified pig, for if you were, all would be well and, well, it’s all contextual...but only if you’re a pig

Console yourself with knowing you’re in good company. I’ve been thrown off Facebook once, Pinterest twice, blocked from a couple of news media sites, banned a couple more places but I’ve forgotten what they were, had 750 reviews removed and been barred from commenting and then reviewing on Amazon (where I was in the top 150 ranked book reviewers when I was at college). It’s all good fun, Zeb. Jus uses another email account and start again. Make sure it’s a throw away I’d and don’t invest too much time in it. And Gab is much better than Twitter and there’s a replacement for Facebook although I haven’t set up there yet and I can’t remember the name.

Oh, and welcome (she lowers her voice and dons her disguise).... to the side of light. Got your light sabre ready? I can send you some pink Hello Kitty decals too:D

Oh, and zuck fuckerberg. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits.

Speaking of which I’m sure there’s a story there. Hmmmm. Fleas? A dick? Facebook? Thinks thinks thinks....

I've deleted my Facebook profile last year and haven't looked back since. The only things the people I had friended shared were memes and pics of their lunch. When I sent them pics of cat food, they somehow became offended.

I don't get social media.

I have an Fb account which I use quite a lot. I hate all the 'political' comments and the fake news stories (I ain't keen on Puppies & Kittens, either).
But my family is well spread out and they do not know how to read a letter. . . .

As to a suitable curse ?
"May you own a thousand estates
and on each estate a thousand Houses
and in each Houses a thousand bedrooms
and in each bedroom a thousand beds.

And may the Black syphilitic curse toss you from bed to bed !"

Well I have two FB accounts, one for the writing me and a completely separate one which is family and a very few personal friends and that one is totally locked down. Family and social stuff only. No news no politics no memes. It’s a great way to keep in touch with family and that’s all I use it for. For that, it’s really good.
 
One of my mainstream publishers insisted I go on FB. When I did, I found relatives whose lives I hear nothing about otherwise. So, I check it a couple of times a day.
 
Yes, FB is glitching right now for me, too:

Sorry, something went wrong.

We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.

Go Back
 
Yep. Glitches today. I've gone through two bouts of not having access and for most of the day my replies to others' posts weren't going through. Seems to be working now.

I find FB incredibly useful and entertaining to keep track of friends I otherwise would be unlikely to keep track of. That and all the wonderful clickbait and animal videos.
 
I don't get social media.

Ya' know Lit is 'social media' right? And all other forums and discussion boards. Not as pervasive and privacy violating since we don't have to sell our soul to them.

To the Zucker Lemmings, I implore you to seek help to pull away from the Collective before it's too late to save yourselves.

Friends don't let friends FB.
 
I've said this for years, but social media is what you make of it.
However, Facebook has become more and more unusable in the last couple of years. I'm on Twitter a lot more.
 
I don't get social media.
LIT is my current social medium. The past saw me on artistic and musical fora, and UFO-conspiracy-freakout fora, and various techie fora. But a forum that only exists because it exists? Not for me, thanks. I need a focus. Sex, drugs, music, art, travel, AIs, rude jokes, deities -- there I am, or was. But no FB, tweets, etc.

What's Facebook? :rolleyes: :confused:

Opened an account on Twitter yesterday and got thrown off in about 15 minutes apparently for violating some rule. Which is strange cause I only added to my profile and then spent a couple of minutes searching hashtags. Didn't post, didn't tweet. Nothing!

Your account has been locked.
What happened?

Your account appears to have exhibited unusual behavior that violates the Twitter Rules. To unlock your account, please complete the steps below and confirm that you are the valid account owner.


What you can do:

To unlock your account, you must do the following:
•Pass a Google reCAPTCHA challenge
•Verify your phone number


When you tap 'Start', Google may collect and use information about you, your device, and browser. View Google's Privacy ...

So all I have to do is allow myself to be digitally strip searched and my phone number given out which I declined to do initially. None of which I will do. They can go Fu"" themselves. BTW the account was verified by inputing a digital code they sent out. 15 minutes later they need it reverified???
 
FB and Instagram have been wonky all day. My kids googled about it since they can't live without their social media and it says there's been down time for both since around midnight last night.

I deactivated my FB a week or so ago. I do it every once in a while when I get overwhelmed. This time it was because my sorta girlfriend posted pictures of her with some GUY at a show! She went to see our favorite singer with some GUY :(
So I'm on a FB ban. I wish I could just delete my account but my kids use messenger to contact me.

I do like Instagram though because I can limit how much interaction I have with people because 99% of the time I hate 99.9% of the people I know.

I didn't know people still used Twitter. I made an account when Twitter first started so I could grab my username I use everywhere but have never really used it much.

I’m glad I never joined Facebook. I did listen to Mark Zuckerberg testify before the Senate. That was a joke in and of itself.

Anyway, at least you have more time to spend with us here😇Kant

The one thing that Twitter has going for it are Hashtag Games. They’re really quite fun and given the creativity on this site and more specifically here on the AH forum I believe many of you would like them. I was guest hosting games and participating very actively up until January and was having a great time.

My adult kids all post on Facebook and Insta so my compromise was that I’d stay on Instagram but only if they post updates there. My oldest is living in NOLA (thus my One Night In New Orleans selection) and the entire Mardi Gras season I was getting some truly interesting insights to what goes on behind the scenes for locals down there :devil:
 
facebook is in and out today, as is instagram and even WhatsApp. Sorry bro, your fantasy of being important enough to ban is likely just a glitch.
