I was dragged onto Facebook to join a group about a topic. I wasn’t interested in communicating with people I didn’t know or getting into arguments.
What I found kind of creepy was that if I knew you and you were my friend, all your friends wind up being able to write stuff. So that there would be a pile of people I don’t know and some I don’t want to know, being able to read and remark on my posts.
I felt as if I was talking to you in a restaurant and some guy at the next booth pushed into the conversation.
As bad as that was, a number of my friends were posting things no one should know about them, as if they were alone in a cave, instead of standing on the stage of Facebook.
It is your choice to stay away from sites that do not please you.
There was a group which had some importance to me, so that’s why I joined. I didn’t realise that I’d wind up having to defend every word I posted to people I didn’t know.
I think I would read but not post if I didn’t feel comfortable.
It is tricky when I am discussing something with a guy I know, and I guy I don’t know pushes in.
You had to be a willing participant. Inlfuenced perhaps, but dragged, not physically.
The group was put on Facebook.
