It's one of the places on the internet that I spend far too much time on.

I just dont get it tbh.
I was forced to 'join' some years ago as a family event was arranged via it. It just seems full of people constantly posting rubbish like "i've got a headache", "i need a coffee", "i've been to the toilet".
I just dont go on it now.
Never used it personally, or Twitter, Linkdin, or Instagram ........ or any other of that ilk.
Can't see the point in giving your private information out to the world and his dog.*
* That's not to say that I haven't got accounts in other names used solely to get useful info on others.

I joined years ago when my cycle club migrated to it. Most of the people on my friends list are friends in real life, I'm also a member of several groups covering things that I'm interested in, like gardening and cycling, as well as groups covering local districts and local history, I'm also on the Facebook pages of several local cycle clubs.

I give out the minimum personal information, as little as they will let me give out whilst still being able to use the platform, it's the only social media site I use apart from cycle chat.
Now all that sounds interesting.
Mine is very basic and "friends" are just people who know me or people who know people who know me

I'm on it, but it's not me. So decline any request, should you get one, from me.
I will get @welsh dragon to translate that for me.

I joined Facebook to see if my daughter was on there, that was a waste of time, but I did find two groups one on recumbent trikes which is very good as it is nice to see trikes from the other side of the world the other is on skinny dipping in the UK and have found a few friends on there that are local to me.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

If someone puts in a friend request and I don't know them, or we don't have any mutual friends I usually delete the request..

Cut out the middle man - email your details and surfing habits directly to Mark Zuckerberg so he dail sell them. That way he make money, but you don't have to put up with videos of dogs doing mildly amusing stuff.
I did join FB a few years ago, but I got so fed up with people from far flung places around the world who wanted to be my friend that I left. I say left because you can't actually leave for good. All you can do is disable your account, but your details are always there should you feel like logging in again at any time.

Apparently there is an option to actually delete the account properly now. A mate of mine laboriously deleted every post and photo before deleting his.
