Are you getting annoyed with social media nowadays? - CAMEAN - 03-03-2014 11:39 AM
Up until really he past year, Facebook and Twitter were all fun and games, just ways to keep up with friends. All it seems to be now is propaganda, slacktivism and browbeating. "So-and-so said this about homosexuality, they're anti-gay, hateful bigots!" "Everyone should be a feminist!" "No slut-shaming this!" "Slut-shaming is bad! Just because her skirt is up her butt doesn't mean she wants attention!" "Freedom of speech!" "Freedom of religion" yadayadayadayadayadayada. Wah wahwah wah wah wah. How about people use it for its purpose--to keep up with family and friends--and stop shoving one-sided agendas down people's throats? Anyone else feeling this vibe?
If you're going to be a smart*ss and say, "Well then don't use it", save your time because that doesn't answer the question.

Honestly I don't feel this vibe, it must have to do with your circle of friends and acquaintances.
However I never felt like Facebook was fun and games more like a way of creating a fantasy about yourself, wanting to be accepted and acknowledged, pretty much like in high school, counting the likes, asking for attention...a stupid thing if you look at it this way.

Yes. I feel like swearing at them big time.

Facebook is sooo awful I HATE it. Just ignore all that stuff and keep to ur family and friends or don't even use it and actually call them instead. I won't go near that retard drama trap

Yes, there is a lot more info exchanging about the planet I've noticed more than family connections.The other stuff I bypass or block.Can depend on the age group.I try not to allow any info to dominate my decision making.
