Deleted my Facebook in my freshman year of college in 2006 because a terrible person from my hs died from a drug overdose. I posted something like "death is sad but he was not a good person and i won't miss him" and got jumped on by a bunch of people i already thought were annoying, so i said "fuck this whole website". It was still when you needed to be in a school to join.

It's been a crazy ride all these years watching all the terrible things that Facebook does, and people just keep using it. Helped elect trump. Steals and launders art. Takes advantage of all your data. Fosters terrorism and crimes. Just a huge shit hole. "but it has its own built in craigslist!" 🙄😒

Im not one to say you can never speak ill of the dead, but man to bash someone right after they die among a group of people that likely includes his friends requires a special type of social cluelessness, or straight up being a bad person.

He died in hs. I was in college. It was years later. Thanks for saying I'm basically retarded or a straight up terrible human because of a short post on the internet about Facebook.

You are the reason i left Facebook. I'll just block you here on lemmy.

I love posters who announce they are blocking you. Such a good person that they've gotta get that last dig in. Lol
