You should just say with the same tone - OMG, I can't believe you didn't sign up on FB to see my baby pictures. LOL. That would be awesome.
I used to get this kind of thing a lot. Everybody on FB would mention it like they were the first person EVER to suggest I get on Facebook and OH MY! YOU ARE MISSING OUT!
Only I totally AM NOT missing out and I am totally fine with the arrangement as is, but thanks. I know Facebook's there for the joinin' should I ever feel the urge.
We finally dropped the landline a few months ago and I haven't missed it a bit. I thought I would.

The only reason I still have a land line is for my fax machine. I fax things to 2 places a few times a month otherwise the only people who call it are salespeople.

LOL, that response was not for people like you. It's for people who are not on FB but pissed about missing out.
Oh, I didn't take it toward me, sequins. I think it is really idiotic of someone to complain about what is on FB if they aren't willing to be on it. I am just willing to miss it, but yeah, what whiny babies to want it specially packaged up just for them exactly how THEY like it. Special snowflakes, indeed.
Not being on fb is just odd to me. You get to pick how you use it and to what extent. You don't have to let it rule your life. (Not speaking specifically to anyone here.) My grandmother has alzheimers. Her Companions help her keep in touch on facebook. Lol
Omg yes! One of my friends goes on FB like once a year. She commented on my last belly pic and I could sense her wtfness that she didn't know. Dude.
Exactly. It's the tone. It's the unreasonable expectation. It's the notion that they merit special attention.
These friends actually say, "You know I'm not on Facebook. Why don't you send me photos?"
It makes me want to send photos even less.
Yes!
My MIL blocked me on Facebook. Ok, I don't care, but I'm not going out of my way to find an alternative avenue to send pictures or updates on how the boys are doing.
I guess any friends I have that don't have social media know I'm an ingrate anyway. So they don't demand to know details about my life within a specified time range.
I don' care about 96% of my FB feed. Just because you posted something on FB does not mean I noticed, at all. Really.
ETA: And I totally don't expect you to make a special effort to inform me in any other way. I a very GOOD not knowing until it comes up IRL or conversation or any other non-FB way. Or never.
Only one friend not on FB but she is on IG. Weird.
OFF TOPIC but what grates me more are people on social media that refuse to post pics of their kid's face. Lots of pics of the kid's feet or back of their head but they won't show their face.
So i have no fucking idea what my college roomate's kids look like.

WHYYYYYY
That doesn't bother me. Some people are protective, and that's their prerogative.

Hey now, we have a landline! Okay it's kind of a landline, its a digital line that we get through our cable provider that is actually cheaper to have as part of our cable package than not. And my kids are way too young for a cell phone, but they do use the landline to call my cell phone.
And just for the record, I do not have any secret babies. Who else has secret babies besides the ones with secret babies ?
I have several friends who aren't on FB. I always forget to invite them to things. I tell them they aren't allowed to be offended when I invite them same-day.
My half-sister is the opposite with her kids. She posts only pics of the kids. The only picture of her is a far away group shot.
I very rarely get on my Facebook account. I don't update it--nuthin'. I do make comments occasionally on some friend's FB, but that's it. I don't get the love.
ETA: And I do have a landline. It rarely rings. But I'm going to keep it because I have left my cellphone at work and I'm too lazy to go back to the office at night. Once I had to call my son from my landline because I left my cell and I needed advice from him because I was afraid my freezer was going to catch fire. If something happened to me, I don't have a husband or a BF that checks on me. Sometimes I don't hear from my sons for days. So I feel I need to be able to contact the outside world.

Smug non-FBers annoy me to no end. You are not so busy you can't spend 15 minutes a day while you're waiting in line, on the pot, or staring at coffee brewing to get on your phone and open an app.

I do not have FB but H does.
I just looked at his FB. Last 5 posts are suggested posts by Walmart and a dating site, the Onion, a lame update about someone's son's hockey team and someone noting that he pledged his frat 5 years ago today.
I can do without this. If something happens, I get a text.
