I don’t know how to keep stats, but I’m willing to believe that I’m connected to at least 20 of you farging bastages now on Facebook.
The thing is, I love you folks. You enrich my life.
I am connected to one very right-wing member who was previously banned, but I keep him around for laughs.
So, how many Dopers are you connected to on Facebook? Do you like them personally? I know I do, mostly.
Over 50 current or former - in fact, more Dopers than family members. But some rarely or never post, which makes me wonder why they set up FB accounts in the first place.
For the most part, I do like them - otherwise I wouldn’t have friended them. There are a few who tend to (IMHO) over-post certain things, but it’s easy enough to ignore that. And frankly, for the most part, Dopers are far more interesting than some of my family members.
I only have one. I used to have a couple more, but they neither post here or use Facebook any longer. But the one Doper I still have on Facebook is probably my favorite poster here, so it’s all good.
I have three current and one former. The one former was a troll but we actually became pretty good friends and chat online during the day. The three current members I’m friends with on FB are super top-notch people
I’m Facebook friends with people from other online channels I’ve been more socially invested in and it’s possible that there’s some overlap there, but I don’t know of any.
None. I only follow family and a couple close friends. My friends list is at 32, that’s enough for me. My wife has over 200 and can spends hours a day keeping up with all the posts. I look at FB about 10 minutes or so a day.
Me too. I have not logged on since just after my mother passed away two years ago. I do not trust Facebook to protect privacy or, in fact, do anything correct.
I may log back on if somebody posts a deepfake of Mark Zuckerberg fucking himself. Other than that, they don’t need any more of my personal information than they already have and get from people other than me.
I’m yet another non-facebooker. I’m of the opinion that if people want me to know about them they have to put in the work to make it happen. And similarly if Facebook wants to know everything about me they have to ask Amazon.
I think two who are active and a few that are no longer active around here. I only have one who I don’t know personally, though I met the others from here years ago.
I’m Facebook friends with a moderator. Bow before me!
Also probably a half dozen others, all through various sports-related things - fantasy leagues or baseball sims - but most aren’t very active on the Dope anymore.
