…social(?) media & the older gentleman…

I took a break from Facebook and other social media for several months. It was refreshing; no mad scramble to check messenger, Instagram, Twitter, blah, blah…nice break.

Something, however, possessed me to open a Facebook account again this week. As expected, at first I was forced to fight the urge to obsess. Then, I gave in. I was astounded at what I found.

All of the reasons for having opted out of social media all those months ago came flooding back in…the photos of peoples’ meals, “inspirational” quotes and memes, etc. Pure drivel.

I won’t go on about it…must do some research on recent (particularly post pandemic) evals/evils of FB, et al…later

2(?) hours later…

Here is a link re: social media and mental health. Certainly not an unbiased source…take it as you will…peace

Later on…

Hey, what’s up with Facebook? Yours truly has been over and over(!) the Help files and I can’t make any sense of any of it!! You’d think that the most popular social media platform, (well, used to be) could manage to build a website that would work!

Oh well, I guess not… Z-man, yer losin’ it!…l8r

Addendum:

Shouldn’t have been so hard on the Z-man…I was just poking around the site; if you take it seriously, there’s some *pretty darn good programming*. Serves me right for jumping the gun…
