Facebook is down???? My step daughter calls me in a panic!

[Charlie Toner]

How ironic that when Facebook is down is crazy over landers are still sharing here on a far more stable platform.

Even more ironically my step daughter called me all in a panic that she can’t confirm her “date” or talk to any of her “friends”

My response: turn to your left or right and say “hi!” To the person next to you…

On a flip side my oldest (11yrs old) is at home upset about his grades and winding himself up. Was trying to FaceTime me and since it was failing he was getting more upset.

May not be such a bad idea for us to unplug go someplace like OB for real information and education!!

Probably just my ISP with the evening overload, but I couldn't access OB for about 30 minutes there. I just commented to my wife that with FB going down, "Maybe we're all finally free, again..."

Alas, FB came back and the wheel keeps turning. If it weren't for the networking aspect of FB I'd have been gone from there years ago...

Absolutely hate FB - left it years ago. Love watching people freak out when this happens. Wish something would knock it out completely.

Deleted FakeBook account about 5 years ago. Have missed a grand total of 0 times!

Not sure if serious.

Never joined facebook, twitter, or any of them. Just OB and a few forums.

I do have a YouTube channel for my original music.

Guess I don't know what I missed...

Probably a good thing you aren't on there. I've heard from a few sources FB is now censoring music - live and recorded.

Poor ol' Zuck evidently lost $7B in personal wealth.

I call it fecesbook. Its killed off a more than a few good forums as our adhd attention spans grow bigger appetites for that instant gratification.
Social media is the demise of our civilization.

Social media is the demise of our civilization.

I was a member of 8 different groups that had private forums - historical, firearms, militaria, Land Rover and camping. Once FB got going they dropped the group/forum pages and switched over. More than 50% of the members on most of them said they were opposed to going to FB. One list owner even said something along the lines of "Oh well, our group must not be that important to you".

I left Facebook for a reason and my life got better. Still have Instagram but it's a different world than FB.

 

[BCMoto]

I got rid of FB because its just trash, social media is killing everyone. kids these days only want to a "influencer" or a youtuber which is just stupid if you ask me. The need to learn some skills spm when thier bubble pops they wount be so lost.

There is nothing "social" about social media. All most people do is compare their real life (i.e. problems) to everyone else's posted life (i.e. only the good stuff) and feel miserable.

 

[Dave Snyder]

Never even noticed it was down. That's how much I use it.

 

[smritte]

wait....
Facebook was down?
Sigh...I need to keep up more.

 

[MidOH]

Should have stayed down.

 

[K12]

Should have stayed down.

Would be nice if it just disappeared completely, along with all the other ones.
