There are many reasons why I choose to not spend much time on FB or any other social media program. I could be here all day listing them. I don't have and never will have a Tik Tok account. The biggest reason is they are all huge time wasters, if you aren't careful. When i do jump on, it's usually to post an ad for one of my businesses; either real estate or Madame Opal's. OR, it's to look at photos that friends have posted, just to catch up in a small way. But I am seriously tired of FB sending me messages that basically equate to a cyber spanking of some sort for being a bad girl and not following the rules. So far it's been regarding my online store. They took down two items listed in the store saying they were offensive. One said "just breathe" and the other I can't recall but was equally benign. And these posts had violated the FB rules. I filed a complaint and requested a copy of the rules, as I was encouraged to do. This has been going on for 2 years and I've NEVER heard back from FB. They've also put up some sort of block to not allow anyone to purchase from my store via FB or IG, after encouraging me to list my items on their sites.......and spending multiple days/hours doing so......NO answer ever, as to why! Now, yesterday i was too busy at the Bridal fair to acknowledge their latest message in the short timeframe given to me, so today I see that they have taken down my page, as threatened, about my two puppies. Jake and Jazzy. We all know Jake has a new Mom and Dad and I have occasionally posted about Jazzy anyway (you know, they liked to tell their own stories'!). FB did this because again, I have been offensive and violated their rules. It's been at least 6 months since I have posted on the J&J page, and they are just now upset? Some of the stories were super cute and I wish I had saved them. But I am just done with them. I am expecting them to take down my real estate page next! I'm pretty sure I've been equally offensive there as well! Anyway, that's my rant for the day! If I'm not commenting on your posts, it's likely I haven't seen them, because I'm not giving Facebook my time and energy, except to brag about or congratulate a real estate client or someone in that realm or to chat about my Madame girls....Miss "O" and Miss Kate. And when spring sports start up again, I may need to tell a tale or two about one of my sweet grands. Otherwise, Facebook can đmy đŤ!! Here's my "bad" girl Jazzy these days.........
