I’m tired of scrolling through hundreds of posts and photos of people’s bosses’ niece’s kids and weddings and relatives on their death beds (people I don’t know and have never met, nor ever heard of) because THEY (the stranger to me) made their post public and when one of my known friends “liked” it or merely commented on it, that post (and hundreds of others like it) were sent to my newsfeed. Please don’t make your posts public, people!
Any post that involves Jesus, asking me to pray, a request for me to type “Amen”! Especially the ones that involve a photograph of a child covered in boils. I am not now, nor have I ever been a Christian, nor do I follow any religion. Everyone who knows me in real life (and lots of my Fluther friends) know that. I don’t go around posting Atheistic or Agnostic posts on Facebook, but if I did, I certainly wouldn’t post them to my religious friends.
Nasty ranting political posts. Especially ones that are from the opposing side, and posted by my cousin who knows full well that I oppose her candidate and stance on guns. Keep that shit to yourself and your cronies people!
I also got real tired of one acquaintance constantly posting memes that suggested how ugly she was. The poor girl suffered from anxiety and depression, and needed to lose about 100 pounds, but instead of doing anything to address any of those problems, she would just keep posting memes about how no one ever called her up to do stuff, how ugly she was, and how depressed she was. I’m not sure what she expected us to do. It would have been highly offensive to agree with her, but disingenuous to say the opposite. I tended to gently suggest that she shouldn’t be so hard on herself, that she shouldn’t post negative memes because of the fact that negativity tends to attract more negativity, and I would give her information on where she could find help for depression and anxiety. She never responded to any of that. She would only respond to the “friends” who would say that they too were ugly, depressed and full of anxiety. It was like a love fest for the disenfranchised, but I think she reveled in the attention it got her, even though it was mostly negative attention. Face palm.
