FB and the nest/GBCN

[stephbfan]

Have you ever liked someone over here or the other boards, friended that person on FB and then not like her that much anymore?

I'm just here thinking, I'm not from the US, so it doesn't really affect me but this Obama bashing every.single.day has to stooooop.

Totally

Thankfully, none of my GBCN friends make overly political posts (or they get buried in my feed by everyone else's political posts)!

Uh oh - well we're not friends and I don't bash Obama so hopefully no one can say that about me. ;D

I'm admittedly a crazy person - but I think I'm the same level of crazy here as I am on FB and IRL, so....

That's the thing. Some people are just way different here than on FB. She is the sweetest person on the boards, now on FB its a whole different story.

I don't even like certain members of my family on FB right now.

Family has to be even worse. I dont hesitate to delete FB contacts but with family its harder to do that.

One of my cousins was talking to me on FB chat. I could not freaking understand what he was saying and I had to do a double take because I wasn't sure he was speaking in Spanish or a different language.

I am only FB friends with 4 people from GBCN. I am pretty private so if I don't really know the person, I wouldn't be friends with them on FB. Why not just block the posts from your newsfeed? Or de-friend them?

I think I'm FB friends with one person from gbcn and that is her ae. So....not really fb friends with anyone here.

Ooooh I am so glad to have made the cut. ;D

Lol...any friend of RiverPestie is a friend of mine!

I'm friends with a bunch of girls on FB from thebump and there is one in particular that just drives me batty on FB. I don't know why I don't just defriend her.

I am only friends with MP and she is AWESOME, at least, so far. I am pretty sure she is my GBCN twin.

I am a crazy tree hugging liberal hippy, but I keep that shit off FB. FB is not going to change anyone's mind and it's just stupid to get up in arms over FB posts. Although, I DID post the "Women in binders" tumblr, but that shit was funny and wasn't really bashing anyone. I also post Bill Clinton is a perv gifs and I love him from a political stand point.

Bully always bitches about me posting stuff about my kids! I kid...I kid....well except that one time

[Deleted]

My facebook is free of political posts or bad stuff. So a big thanks to all my FB friends!

We need a kissy face emoticon. Instead I will hug you. I am actually from a very conservative background but am considered crazy liberal these days by my former crowd - even though I am pretty middle of the road - LOL. But I'm not a dummy so I think we can still be twinsies even though I'm not quite as hippy as you.

I was born in Austin, at home, with a midwife. My parents did meditation and were some combination of Christianity/Buddhism/Hinduism. Also, my dad is the only straight kid-his sister is a lesbian and his brother is gay. My Uncle lives in DC (works for the EPA) and is married to his partner of 27 years. It's hard to come out of that anything but Hippy. Keep Austin Weird!

Actually it's my mom that kind of drives me batty on FB. She posts too much stuff about politics, and then gets into arguments about politics with my aunt's step-dad. It's super annoying. I have an aunt that posts a lot of annoying political crap too, and I've considered hiding her posts.

It would probably be bad if I unfriended my mom, huh?

I've considered it, but she watches DD during the day and occasionally will post a cute pic so I don't want to miss those.

I hid my mom from my news feed because she was posting so many old family photos of people I didn't know for her cousins. I created a family group so if I want to see her posts, I just go to that group.

I had no idea you could do that. Hmmmm....that could be a good option. Thanks for the tip!

It's actually the person I've been friends with the longest that drives me nuts on facebook. We've been friends since we were 5, but she's always been very conservative (she is Mormon and very strict about certain aspects of it). I am so sick of hearing what a great mom she is because she stays at home, homeschools her kids, cooks jam from scratch, etc.

I guess she has forgotten what it was like when she was a single mom (her first husband turned out to be a douche), and she had to work to support her son.

I have blocked her posts from my news feed.

I cannot stand all the political BS on FB. I've had a few friends who CONSTANTLY bash Obama/Romney, so I've made it a point to ask them "Instead of telling me why the other side is so horrible, why don't you tell me WHY I should vote for your choice??" I have yet to have anyone do it.
