Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Facebook is whatever you make it imo. I just filter out the people I don't want to hear from. I mainly use it for music, I like the Clash and BAD fan pages. I'm also a bit of a nosy bastard so it's good for that. Also a good band promotion tool.Marky Dread wrote: ↑04 Jan 2019, 2:13pmI've never been on Twitter and I'm not likely to be. But Facebook just turns most people into morons.Flex wrote: ↑04 Jan 2019, 2:06pmSo, I quit ("quit" really, since I haven't deleted my accounts) Twitter a few months ago and decided to stop logging onto Facebook in 2019. So far, so great. Interesting feelings about the absence of both platforms.
There's a lot that I enjoyed about Twitter: I actually got a lot of info from there, and there was a lot of funny content. But the pace and micro- nature of dialogue there meant that it was basically just a perpetual rage machine. So, I've felt its absence some - I'm not as up to date on music recommendations, political news and analysis, et cetera, and there are some folks on there whose company I enjoy who I don't really have alternate avenues of communication - but the upside of getting out of the Twitter rage grind has been almost revelatory.
Facebook, conversely, features almost nothing I particularly enjoy but just sort of remained part of my life out of a zombie-like state of death-paralysis. The best feature about it - sharing photos - is done better on Instagram and the ability to remain in contact with folks can be handled just fine with e-mail, text or g-chat. I don't know what some of my old high school friends are up to, but I don't really care. In the short time I've been off FB, it's forced me to stay in better contact with the people I actually care about (including, not for nothing, starting to post here more) via other avenues of communication. The only thing I'm worried about missing is that FB is a great way to keep track of concert announcements from bands and music venues. So, I just have to subscribe to more newsletters and such, which whatever.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Sure I agree it can be a useful tool mate. I've no doubt its great when you use it for Clash/BAD stuff and promoting your band. However I'm refering to the way it gets used in general and the way that those who use it get used.Heston wrote: ↑09 Jan 2019, 2:40pmFacebook is whatever you make it imo.

Canteen at work having one of its periodic shitleaks from the bathroom plumbing so it's shut down. Using a meeting room for a rest area. I have been increasingly amused with myself when people come to clear their heads in here and I thank them for coming in today and invite them to take a seat.
