Just Venting

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate Facebook?

I got added by some random dude, an older guy, but he already had a couple of mutual friends and wasn't the usual "thirsty guy" profile - no friends, no "about," only pics are a handful of selfies. And apparently he either can't read or doesn't pay attention.

First, he sends me a note on FB Messenger, which won't integrate with my tablet, so I don't really see it for a few days.

It says something like, "Hello, ma'am"
 
I'm not a "ma'am." It's in my profile - agender/nonconforming, pronouns are they/them. So, you can't respect someone's identity, and you're randomly messaging me I assume because you think you might get lucky. I'm blocking this idiot. I have to wade through enough bullshit on FB - thank goodness for Groups. At least then I can keep up with the things I actually care about (mostly fitness and Zox groups) and not have to slog through endless unfunny memes, one like equals one prayer, and hey buy some Scensty/It Works/whatever the hell someone is selling.

I actually don't participate in any form of social media. none.
I don't own a cell phone. (I do have a landline, and obviously, internet)

one of the reasons is people like that. :/

fb is the worst.

Facebook is pretty much hopeless. I often want to delete mine, but it's the only way to keep in touch with most relatives and distant friends these days, since no one likes to write a letter, talk on the phone, etc...anymore it seems. I was annoyed last week when I got some friend request from a relative, only to find out it was actually a cloned account and not actually them. Ugh. Such crappy people on there.
