>don't think I will ever do Facebook as I just cannot grasp it
>The secret to FB is to be selective about groups that you join
"groups that you join" is only a small part of what FB noses into. Biggest problem with FB is, when you join, you give it access to anything you search online for, its algorithms use that to bombard you with any connected group. As TUD posted:-
>swamped with other FB groups.i deleted and blocked over thirty this morning.
>much of this on line stuff, they need so much personal information
>don't give them your personal info.
FB doesn't actually require much personal information; as I say, most of the shit you get after you sign up is based on what you search for online. And it's only going to get worse - t'other day, World President Trump summoned Zuckerberg, told him, as he (Trump) "believes in free speech", FB has to use the same fact-checking algorithms as Twitter/X ...
Possibly something like the DuckDuckGo search would fool FB, but there are disadvantages to DuckDuckGo.
Best thing I've found with FB is let the missus sign up for it on her laptop, scroll through the returned crap when you're drinking coffee/tea and the brain's in neutral ...
That said, if FB suddenly closed tomorrow, there is one solitary poster I'd miss - "Seager Engineering" - their fixes for bodged old-vehicle bits are astounding.
Hth.
