Does Commenting on Group Post Show on Facebook Ticker?

[darwin g]

I'm on some groups on Facebook that are social and Open groups. However, when on comment on the group's posts or post on the Group's wall, does that show on the ticker so other people can see?

I'm fine with Friends seeing what I post as Status Updates, but I sort of want to keep what I do on Facebook Groups as a private thing.

How do I control which of my information shows up in ticker for apps?

To control which stories about you show up in the ticker either:

1.Choose who can see stories for each app you use.

All activity in the app ticker respects the privacy preferences you choose in your App Settings.

When you visit this panel, you’ll see that each app offers an app privacy section.

That app can only publish stories to people within the audience you choose from the audience selector. If you choose to hide your app activity from certain people, then those people won’t be able to see your activity in their app ticker.

If you choose Only Me under the Customize on the audience selector, no one else will see stories about your interaction with that app.


2.Remove stories after they're posted.

To remove a story that you published in ticker, click a story that you see in ticker, then click the menu in the top right. From here, you can click:


1.Remove this post to remove the story

2.Hide all by the app to no longer see stories from the app

3.Report story or spam if you think the story is spam, or

4.Edit app settings to go to your app settings page

The above post only applies to apps that you may be using. For instance, I hardly use any apps, that info really doesn't apply to using groups.

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about this. Depending on the size of the group you belong to, FB will NOT allow admins to change their settings to close the group once it reaches a certain size. This means if you are a member of a group that, say, discusses medical diseases and whatnot, you might be comfortable sharing that info with a group of like-minded individuals for help, support, etc. What it will also reveal all of that information to people on your friends list, and you may not want them to know. It's still sharing, but just choosing to share with a subset of people and in a certain place that your friends could access if they stumbled upon it. With the ticker, they don't need to "stumble" on it; it's all right there.

Their solution: "If you aren't comfortable with who can see the post, please don't comment on it or like it. If you do, a story about your activity will be eligible to appear on Facebook, including on your timeline (profile), in News Feed and in ticker" is a pretty sh!tty answer, honestly.
