    Just got banned for a week. I guess recommending vacation travel and tour guides is not allowed! Either that or pointing out that the Taliban are "mostly peaceful" folks.

    Honestly, why do you still have Cali as part of your username?
    To remind himself of how great California was and how much he misses it!

    If he really was going to embrace moving to Texas, he would have come up with a different username. But I think he keeps it just to stir the pot and so he can act like a troll!

    So today's 7-day ban came almost immediately after I posted a reply to a reply to a post I made.

    I held a gun to an Afghan rebel's head an made him denounce the United States. no, wait, that wouldn't have gotten me banned.
    I pushed a gay Muslim off the top of a 10-story building. No. That wasn't it.
    I made a woman dress head to toe and let my cousins rape her. I posted the rape time schedule on FB. Nope. That wasn't it. That was allowed.
    I organized a jihad against all westerners using FB. No, no ban for that either.

    Here's what I posted:

    "I killed all of them indiscriminately. Young and old. Boys and girls. And boys who think they're girls. And girls who think they're boys. They all die the same."

    Pretty "ban-able" on the face.

    Of course, here was the preceding post to which this was a reply (I'm paraphrasing, since I'm blocked on FB now):

    "So, do you shoot kids that are just in the double digits age or do you shoot single digit aged kids too?"

    This was a reply to a fairly long post that got a lot of hate mail which was a reply to an advertisement for some gloves that you can punch walls with and someone asked if you can wear them for airsoft. My post was basically:

    "I'm 48 and played airsoft with my nephews. I'm fat and have no cardio conditioning. It was pretty brutal. But I got hit in the hands a lot with the pellets and it doesn't hurt. Toughen up, buttercup. It barely leaves a mark. It's a lot of fun actually and where else can you shoot a bunch of kids for an hour and high five them when you're done."

    That's the gist of it.

    So:

    Advertise for gloves
    Reply to question about airsoft with personal experience
    Get challenged by some snarky guy about "me shooting kids"
    Reply by saying "I'll shoot all the kids"

    Banned from FB. Fifth time. 7-days.

    For the party of SNL/Comedy Central, they sure don't have a sense of humor. And they don't understand context. But I guess if I had a real gun and I was a member of the Taliban, it'd be okay. Maybe the "religious exemption?" (as long as you're not Christian, of course).

    My fourth 7-day ban was for hate speech, by the way. Apparently saying "I found out I had a rich black uncle recently that I didn't know about who left me millions of dollars in Nigeria, but I'm just too white and lazy to claim" was hate speech. Banned. 7 days.

    Damn! I want to be your friend of FB!

    Honestly, why do you still use facebook?
    I use it to follow the craziness, excuse me, idiocy of Austin, Dallas, and others.

    The article I commented on - which got the ban - was about a business owner in San Angelo getting dog piled for "anti-LGBTQ" comments and "assault" she committed. The attacks on her are being lead by folks who do not even fly over - let alone visit - Texas.

    Facebook like any other social media is pretty much whatever you make of it.Some people just use it to connect and stay in touch with family and friends. Some want to use it as a platform to tell the world about their political ideology.
    Sorry, but you are a bit off here.
    Allow me to explain .
    Years ago, I was on Fakebook.
    To keep in touch with family and friends.
    I realized one day that I had not heard from several of them in a very long time.
    I was half- convinced they had unfriended me. One of my FB-savvy girls said " No, you need to go into their profile and check the "see this content first box"
    Duh.
    So, without even ASKING me, Zuckerfluk had de-rated all my friends.
    Why? To try to better promote THEIR political ideology. With friends and family out of the way, I got plenty of woke BS.
    I ditched Fakebook about that same time and have missed it very little.

    Oddly, at least to me, I'm contemplating becoming much more active on it. It's only so I can use Facebook Marketplace but, based on my research, I should make enough to compensate me for the aggravation.

    Side note - My best friend in high school tried to friend me. I've left that request hanging for 3 years now. I like seeing the reminder of why I never again want to be in contact with that SOB.

    Whether to be on Facebook or not is decision every person needs to make for themselves. I'm still on Facebook, though I don't frequent it as much as I use to in the past.

    I have people that I didn't like years ago for various reasons, that will reach out and send a friend's request to me. I just dismiss them. If I didn't like you many years ago, and we haven't had contact in all these years, then it's unlikely my thoughts or opinions have changed just because you reached out to me on Facenook!

    I used Facebook Marketplace this week to buy a fridge to replace our older one that was not working properly. Got a pretty sweet deal too.

    Priced a comparable fridge at Lowes. Same brand, size, features and quality. A new one at Lowes was over $1400. we got the used one for $400.

    No, I get it. I don't envy businesses today, as they almost have to have a presence on FB. At the same time, this ex-user avoids most of those who do.
    "Register with Facebook?" NOPE.
    "Launch with Facebook?" NOPIE!

    If they don't have an option to log in using email, I am OUT. Some may have lost a customer due to this.
    Also, I doubt my spending habits will make any of them a huge success so there is that.

    Because I've talked to lots of people around my local area who have said the same thing which is, essentially, that craigslist buyers are too often unreliable people looking for rock-bottom prices. OTOH, FB Marketplace has enough Woodlands soccer moms on it to often make back a reasonable percentage of my original costs.

    Basically, I'm just doing a garage sale via online marketing. It's not like I'm starting a business or anything. Either one would probably work.

    ETA: I'm certainly open to other options so everyone is encouraged to PM me any suggestions.

    That's generally been my experience with FB marketplace, but it does make sense it would be different in different areas.

    Also craigslist allows more things than FB does; like livestock, produce, and knives.
