How many of you have fired FB? I used to be fairly active on FB but I'm fed up with the crap they were pulling so I got off of there.
Nice to be able to keep track of friends/family without ever seeing them and oh just send them a "like" if you like their stupid picture but then the other side of the coin... when you see them you don't have anything to talk about because you've already seen it all.
Then FB gives their group admins too much power... piss an admin off and they block you from the group on the drop of a hat with absolutely no recourse other than messaging the admin. I used to be a member of a bunch of commercial gardening, planet jr seeders and cultivators, and two wheel walk behind tractors forums on there, but in the last year or so the quality of the discussion has gone way down, made it easy to finally pull the plug.
Then the presumptuous Zuck had the intelligence to say that FB was like a church and it became abundantly clear to me that FB was simply a hot wire right into the surveillance agencies, along with the total censorship of conservative christian views ... that was the last straw!
I'd rather spend my time on a GOOD homesteading & country living forum instead, although I do miss the commercial growing discussions. Homesteaders have A LOT to learn from commercial growers and I have learned a lot from them that I'd be glad to share if anyone wants to hear.
I like my privacy so I am writing under a truly anonymous username. I'm more than amenable to sharing information in private discussions though.
