RE: Facebook Banned Me for 30 Days for Sharing This Link
I think you put too much stock in maintaining friends. WTF is a facebook friend anyway? I closed my account 4 years ago and haven't spoken to...well, any of them. Oh, well. I have a grumpy, nihilistic Finnish guy to make stupid comments to. What else does one need? Also, don't you have a girlfriend? You shouldn't be wasting time with facebook anyway.
That’s a silly attitude. I value friends. I’m selective, but the ones that I have I value. I interact a lot with the chosen few I have as friends on Facebook. I don’t add or keep random meaningless people like a lot of people seem to. And what does me being in a relationship have to do with anything?
I'm incorrectly extrapolating my experience with facebook and grafting it onto you. In my experience, it was just a flow of worthless information and people I was probably never going to see again in real life. If I was going to see them again, I could just catch up with them then. I should have put friends in quotes, but I didn't. I have friends, but I go see them. I may not interact with them for years at a time, but I find that preferable to having to deal with a constant flow of crafted snapshots that don't represent reality. It was just noise. I assume your relationship is a real relationship worth putting care and effort into, a worthy pursuit. I rarely found 'the feed' to be anything like that. At least on steemit I get to interact with new people and hear opinions from all over the world.
You may think I'm trolling you. When I read back what I wrote, that's probably how I would read it, but I think I'm trying to get to the core of what you're about. I find your input interesting. Don't take my comments to be too adversarial. I apologize if I offend you. I'm just a stupid monkey trying to learn about and navigate the world I was born into.
