Glory hallelujah... praise Jesus! Facebook is BACK ONLINE! Now I can...

... catch up on all the conspiracy theories that I've been missing out on. I'm ready to be indoctrinated. I need to "do my own research" and learn all about the latest flat-earth anti-science anti-vax sovereign citizen news, because reasons.

Check it out: www.facebook.com

1. ROFL

2. Catch up on grandkid, memes, and recipes

It boggles my mind that people see Facebook as a source of information

3. I agree

I use it to keep up with my cousins & friends from around the country (I was even able to find a couple childhood friends I'd lost touch with 50+ years ago).

Ok, I do post the occassional political opinon & snarky meme (fewer since TFG left office) - I just can't help it. But I source what I post or repost.

4. A post from someone

Who has never been on Facebook, but hates it anyway.

5. One thing I never understood.

If Facebook is terrible, why isn't Twitter never criticized on this board when it has many of the same flaws. I always kept my dislike of Twitter to myself, but since it is ok for people to criticize Facebook users, what is good for the goose is good for the gander

7. It's really the same thing...

I prefer facebook because I can go to a group or a person and I can find them. It's more static.
Twitter kinda goes "into the ether"...
But both platforms can be used to spread propaganda, fake news and BS. However, I do find twitter to be worse because there is no control over what pops up on a twitter feed. On FB,I do get these lame pop ups like, "Cooking with Nancy" etc or goofy ads, but they're easy to ignore and don't make my blood boil.

6. I don't do any of those things on Facebook.

I use Facebook to keep up with family and friends. Also a few years ago, along with other opera lovers I helped plan an opera concert using Facebook. Social media is what you make of it

8. +++

I get no RW propaganda, misinformation about Covid, or any other trash that people complain about. I keep up with my family and friends, and only those who do not post political stuff.

I'm also an opera fan. How nice that you helped plan a concert.

9. Lol. My sister texted me in a panic about how Instagram and Facebook were down

I didn't know and didn't care. But now I'm curious about what happened. Is it due to the whistleblower? 🤔
