Stupid Facebook Posts

Unfollow and ignore are my favorite features of social media.

People have the right to post whatever they want on their Facebook and twitter pages. I also have the the right to choose not to consume what they post. I do a lot of unfollowing and muting. I also don't hesitate to unfriend or block. I control what I want to see.

Then there's the marketing that isn't supposed to happen. My niece is always talking about her skin-care sales. If she weren't a relative I'd report her. Instead, she's another one of those "unfollowed" souls.

You can report her. Facebook doesn’t tell them
Who reported her account. Just that it was reported.

Well along the same lines , I had a friend that continuously posted animal abuse posts, it would literally tear my nerves up and as much as I tried to just by pass them it was no uses, most times I seen enough to ruin my day. One night I was skimming fb and she had a post for " immediate help need" several horses that have been abused were being re-homed , they need immediate help finding homes . I quickly called around to my farming neighbors , got the whole thing set up to re-home these poor animals and when I called the number to let them know we could transport, there was a recording that stated "if you were calling about the horses the notice was over 5 years old and the horses have long since been re-homed." Wasn't long after that I got off fb completely and haven't been back there for years. I feel much healthier that way hahaha .

Yeah...those 52 Thoroughbreds have long since been rehomed.

I have a few friends who share all the internet hoaxes, missing persons and human trafficking scares. They are all people who never left our small rural town after high school. They also put out the APB if a black male in a car stays too long at a stop sign.

I do that sometimes but am often told snopes is biased and they don't believe it.

As I said in my earlier post, it is biased politically and they have been caught posting fake news themselves. You can't have a site to debunk fake news if they are posting fake news so Snopes is regarded as a false biased source for politics.

They are good though with something such as the teacher who removed all the desks in the classroom asking the students why they deserved to have them for the lesson of the service men who were bringing the desks back in is why they deserve the desks which is a fabricated story that people believe. Those debunked are fine from Snopes.

Please post an example of this.

A friend keeps posting on Facebook about missing children, and the kids have usually already been found. If she'd just click on the link before she shares it, she'd see there's no reason to post. She did it earlier this week and I politely pointed out that the kiddo had been found, and that the information was on the link she had posted. Someone with half a brain would've figured out that maybe she should read her own link, but no, she just did it again, and this time her link clearly said that the baby had been found in December. If she does it again, three strikes and she gets unfriended. Any other solutions?

If she's a close friend, you could just unfollow. That way you don't see her stuff unless you seek it out. I've unfollowed my entire family at this point for similar things.
