Why most people here dislike Facebook?

0. It's fake relationships.

I don't think people who aren't on Facebook actually hate it, they just don't think it's for them.

Exactly. I'm just as "close" to my extended family and friends as I want to be without FB. If I had to choose something about it that I dislike it would be that its too easy (sitting at home in private) to write things to or about someone that you otherwise wouldn't. On the internet this is not unique to FB - but FB is the current poster child.

I know that but that is not a reason to call amazingly well performing web application.

I detest Facebook for its blatant disregard for privacy, demonstrated repeatedly in the past, and I have no confidence that "this" time they have all the holes plugged. I use it, however, as it is the only means I have to keep in touch with friends in far places. A necessary evil, but I keep my exposure to a decent minimum.

Yeah, because we all know the world will end if some hacker gets your phone number or a nasty chick calls you from finding off of FB. I shudder to think how horrible it must be to click a hang-up button. I mean, places of the world have people starving, but screw that, we have hang-up buttons! :rolleyes:

Now, before start off, here are few things to make note of: 1. You cannot call it bad just because of content. If that was the case, you should dislike CP as well considering amounts of rants about Q & A here. 2. If you have had a bad experience with random friend request, it is not FB's fault. 3. If you are annoyed with game requests, you should consider choosing FB friends carefully rather than blaming FB. 4. If you think content there is just idiotic, remember it is not just for people like you. Kids to old people use it. There will be everything there. Again you need to choose what you want to see. 5. If you do not like their UI, for few things I am with you.

Content. Team FB has nothing to do with it.

Agreed. I dislike certain bits. But they are doing amazing job considering majority users use internet for them and pr0n.

"If something is free then you are not the customer, you are the product". I like Facebook because it gives me another platform to show off and argue with people, two of my favourite things. Just like here and anywhere else online I assume anything I post is in the public domain and I don't post anything I would have a problem being so. That said I'm not very discreet.

Not at all. And I would also suspect that most people who say they hate facebook are not referring to the coding at all.

I don't see any posts here, so far, ridiculing the existence of it. Care to elaborate?

I wasn't blaming it for anything. You can't blame an application for the way that people choose to use it.

Facebook's existence is ridiculous! :mad: There you go... Satisfied now? ;)
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
Oh, absolutely. I shall go on with my night, happy in the knowledge that you posted this.

I just had a discussion with a friend who was all like "My b-day party is at that date. I had a FB invitation, but, well..." That last part was about me not having a FB account so she had to go and send me a seperate invitation. Oh, the horror! Can you imagine sending a friend a personal invitation to a party? She has it rough... I have an address to which you can send letters or postcards, I have a telephone with which I can call, send SMS, send WhatsApps, I even got LINE just because she wanted me to try, I got a last.fm account where she could leave a message and, of course, she could send me an email. But no, she wants to invite me using FB, because that's easier for her. Well, I have news for her, and all my other friends who use FB; friendship isn't about having it easy. Friendship is about being there for each other when they need you. Friendship is about doing that little extra effort just because you know the other appreciates it. Friendship is about sending a seperate invitation because you respect their choice of not having FB. And that is what people seem to forget. Yes it's easy to just send an update about your life every hour and expect your 'friends' to read it. Yes it's easy to get a 'subscription' on some friends life. But I don't want that. If I want something of my chest I'll get in contact with all my friends that I think want to hear about it. If they want the same they know where to find me. If I want to invite friends to my party I'll invite them in any way they prefer because I want them to be at my party, not because it's easy to invite them. I expect my friends to do the same. Try deleting your FB account and see how many people actually want you at their party, even if it is somewhat less convenient to invite you. The sad truth is that with deleting FB you're probably deleting about 90% of your so-called 'friends'. That said, I don't dislike FB, I just don't need FB. I have got all the communication channels I need (and probably a few more)! And luckily I still got some friends who know how to use them. Including the one I just had that argument with (she did invite me after all, and will continue to do so because she has done so for years :)).
It's an OO world.
