I hate facebook forwards
especially the 'post this in your status' ones.

This has just appeared in my feed: "The British government announce that they are going to give £60 MILLION toPakistan, We have Troops without proper equipment..... Yet we donatemillions to other countries before helping our own first...... 99% ofpeople on facebook won't have the ...guts to copy and repost.........this...!!!!!! WILL YOU, I thought charity began at home...."

which has pissed me off.

What annoys you most about facebook? Or, if you're not on facebook, what annoys you most about people who use facebook?

Alternative questions: what subculture do you think you fit into? I used to be goth, then maybe a bit rockchick, but now I'm pretty tame and don't think I really have one. I'm aspiring towards pinup though.

I am, and have been for some years, a stoner.
Other people's fucking mindless jibber-jabber is what annoys me about facebook. I honestly couldn't give a shit about 99% of the crap that people post on there. I've hidden most people's updates because I can't bear to read their turgid drivel.

I'm also deleting the guy who uses the word nigger in a derogatory fashion. I just wish facebook wouldn't make it so obvious that I've done so by saying "do you know this person?". They may as well email the person and say "did you notice this person has deleted you and obviously no longer wants to be your friend. What are you going to do about that?"

No, it's not actually got anything about Satan in it as I understand it (I haven't read it)
it's mostly about how you should do what you want if it makes you happy, as long as it doesn't actively hurt someone else. It basically teaches that you are the centre of your own universe, humans are inherently selfish and you shouldn't try and fight it. Not that you should fuck people over, but that there's no point trying to falsely benevolent. I think you're also allowed to avenge yourself as well.

"Oh my god, how do you cope? How do you have a social life?" They cry.

I hate how it's changed
I first joined back in 2005, and it was fairly useful. If I didn't have friends' contact details to hand, then I could look them up. Occasional social events were organised, plays were promoted, amusing groups were joined then forgotten about. Your profile was a good way of showing what kind of a person you were.

Because Newsfeed etc. didn't exist, you would be spending time looking at peoples' profiles, so quite a lot of info.

And then they opened it up to other unis, and then- o tragic day- to everyone. Which led to newsfeed, text speak, and all the other evils. You no longer look at someone's profile, just a quick digest- and you're less likely to really know the people on there.

there are so many photos of me from the year or so before I went to uni
looking awful, that any photo now is refreshingly complimentary, regardless of what stupid face I am pulling

I'm conflicted about Facebook
I'm on there, but I can't really remember why. I occasionally think about deleting the account, but I don't want to do that, remember why I was on there in the first place and then have to go and register again in an endless cycle of tedium.

Besides, one of my best friends has destroyed his leg playing football, which is amusing. His wife keeps posting pictures.

It's good for organising parties and stuff
I just wish it wasn't plagued by all the advertising and stuff. People can bombard your inbox with spam far too easily.

I registered mine
with a new email address. I just go in there occasionally and mass delete the whole thing. Those sites are absolutely appalling for spam.

I have a really good friend who lives a fair way away
so we don't see each other very often. But I can do without the constant updates about what her two (admittedly very sweet) kids are up to every two minutes. I'm firmly in the Chickenlady "your children are interesting to you; other people's children are not interesting to every other fucker on the planet" camp.

Alt Q: Goth in my teens, now just fond of flamboyant coats and occasionally bleaching my hair.

One thing that I really like about FB is
that my ex-wife is on there, but doesn't have many FB friends. In the suggestions section there's often a picture of her saying "ex-Mrs Fister doesn't have many friends. Help her find some." or something to that effect.

Sadly there isn't a "she doesn't have many friends because she's a self-obsessed interfering old munter" button. Shame.
