You know we’ve become TOO reliable on technology and social networks when you sit there (or even post about it) and debate whether or not you should delete your facebook. I’ve never had this problem. I’m perfectly fine with my account. I’ve seen friends update about deleting their facebook. I can understand deleting it because you’re using it way more than you should. I’ve seen people complain that people are nosy or people are stalking them, etc..
Ok first off, if you plan on deleting your facebook because certain people are being nosy and sticking their nose in your business, why the hell did you add them in the first place? I don’t have my real name listed on facebook because I don’t need my whole damn family on my friends list and/or certain people from school.
There’s a reason why facebook has it set up so that anyone can’t just add you out of no where. YOU choose who is allowed on your friends list and who isn’t allowed. I deny requests all the time from people I don’t even know. Some of them are mutual friends with someone that I do know, but I still deny them. Just because you happen to be friends with one of my friends doesn’t mean I know you.
Some people get harassed by others. They either get threatening messages from someone else like for example; some girl is receiving threatening messages from another girl who happens to like the same guy girl #1 is dating. That’s when the ‘block’ button comes in handy. The block button works WONDERS!! When you block someone, they can no longer see your profile in the search engine or on another person’s list. They can’t see when you post on another friends wall or anything. It’s like you never existed. It’s the same thing on your end. You can no longer see anything that the person you block posts or you can’t find their profile. I put the block button into good use after I first started dating my current boyfriend. His ex is a crazy ass bitch and was going around getting his friends drunk trying to get dirt on him and I. She used to send nasty emails and messages to his first ex girlfriend over myspace/facebook, whatever. I thought to myself ‘Fuck that. I don’t need this BS.’ So what did I do? I looked her up on facebook, and hit that awesome ass block button. No problemos since then.
I think people are too scared to offend the other person when it comes to blocking people. Ok you bitch about them on your status update how much you despise that person and they annoy you and ‘have no business sticking their nose into yours’, yet you don’t have the balls to block them. I guess they don’t bother you that much do they? This is so annoying.
And finally, people broadcast E V E R Y T H I N G that is going on with their lives and what they’re doing. Some updates I actually do enjoy reading because it lets me know that that person is doing fine and they got a new job, or they’re expecting a baby, etc. But do I really give a shit what you’re eating and when you’re having sex? Or if you’re soooooo wasted? Or that you’re giving birth and you’re dilated to X cm? Ugh. Good thing facebook gives you an option to remove certain posts from your feedback. Facebook is awesome.
Seriously people, learn not to revolve your life around facebook so much. That way you’re not sitting there staring at the screen debating whether or not to delete it. You’ll just reactivate it anyways and you’re caught up in its evil digital wrath.
Just sayin
