I am sincerely and honestly curious about the negativity towards social media, namely Facebook, not just this discussion. The general consensus from those opposed to Facebook appears to be that anyone [no exceptions] on Facebook gets turned into a solitary zombie recluse.
Even with Facebook since 2007, I am still very active with family and friends. My house still has the weekly ‘movie and a pizza’ night. Myself, two female cousins meet at our aunt's once a week for what we call our weekly ‘Girl’s Night In’, we order food, talk and have fun. There’s a huge flea market that brings in sellers from as far away as Florida and New York that my Significant Other and I go spend the day on a weekly basis. We always attend the Breakfasts at the local Fire Halls. I’m an active member of the local VFW and American Legion. I have a group of friends that meet every Sunday at a local coffee shop. There isn’t enough room to talk about all the ethnic festivals around here, we attend as many as we can.
The only people who are ‘friends’ with me on Facebook are people I actually know in person, spend [real life] time with, and for the most part are related to me. All privacy settings are set to ‘friends only’ with a few set to ‘custom’, I don’t play any of the games or other apps such as ‘places’ and ‘birthdays’ and have all of them blocked.
