Lakumi Posted September 21, 2013 Report Posted September 21, 2013 How do you have fun on facebook?Often times I find it extremely boring, but I try to have a few things... I like to keep things random, and interesting (to me). I don't share meaningless thoughts like;"my day was so long, sigh" (or anything with those # things)no I keep it more like"I swear the moon is talking to me! It sounds like Tim Curry!!"I don't like to get into debates with people, I find if its not in person people just break down into personal attacks really quickly. As such I never post scripture to my wall, knowing many atheists that's just not a good idea... I have people I have stimulating talks about religion to. No, I like to post fake scripture (stuff I made up- made up completely, most people have no idea, as long as it sounds roughly old English and has the little number thing and a name there, people more often then not think it's from something) It came about when I was trying to think of creative ways to market one of my novels.I like to test people...Someone said that was trolling. I did catch an atheist saying something I took from the Book of Mormon sounded good -Nephi 9:30)I ought to get a picture of that onesecond my facebook is for a doll (seen here attacking a toy- her name is Clover, would have thought it would be Lakumi, considering she is the doll I am named after here but... nope)so that cuts down on a lot of unwanted friend request (family, fellow employees, etc)I have more stories but I ought to let someone else have a turn...

Guest Posted September 21, 2013 Report Posted September 21, 2013 I don't like to mess around with people for fun (or "troll" as you said). Life has enough drama without inviting more. When I do get into heated discussions, I always regret it, so mostly I avoid them. I play some of the games and keep in touch with people. I do use it to bear testimony of meaningful things in my life when I feel like it's a good idea. If I have something funny to share I like doing that, too. Quote
Lakumi Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Posted September 21, 2013 they mess with me sometimes, its an...unsaid activity we have, though I think when you get a bunch of immature early 20somethings together- stuff like that is bound to happen Quote
Guest Posted September 21, 2013 Report Posted September 21, 2013 We're using it as a "free" communication method between the US and the Philippines and Australia and the UK and UAE and all the smattering of little places my relatives are all scattered into. But for fun, there's Farmville. Quote
McLainDow Posted September 22, 2013 Report Posted September 22, 2013 I used to use facebook to network for the band I was in. No I don't use it at all. Quote
Lakumi Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Posted September 22, 2013 I also like to talk to some of my pony collecting friends-but that's a more normal use for it Quote
Swiper Posted September 22, 2013 Report Posted September 22, 2013 I have tons of fun on Facebook. It's the main method of communication between me and my extended family. I'm also member of a bunch of groups and pages that indulges themselves in lightmindedness and loud laughter. I got a few supports group on there too. Quote

Guest scottzux Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 I have thought about divorcing facebook many times, but just can't bring myself to do so. Our relationship is strained at best. Quote

Guest scottzux Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 Self deprecation. I like it. I used to belong to forums and was an admin on a couple, but I eventually got bored. For a long while; it was lots of fun. I am hoping that here, with the extra added depth of spiritual discussion, I won't get bored. Quote
TalkativeIntrovert Posted September 29, 2013 Report Posted September 29, 2013 I tried the facebook games, got hooked, wasted a heap of time, realised my error and ditched the games. Now I use it for more sensible purposes - correcting people with opposing views, presenting radical political viewpoints, denying climate change and vaccinations, reading funny meme's, bragging about going to the gym etc. Ok, not really, but it seems that is all my friends do! I now use it for family contact (we are currently organising Aunt's funeral), arranging holidays (just back from a huge group holiday that was effortless due to easy communication), just arranged a birthday party for a lady at church and mostly managed to co-ordinate the food bought, sharing family photos is great too. I love facebook as I am terrible at talking on the phone and live too far away for face to face contact. Quote
NeuroTypical Posted September 29, 2013 Report Posted September 29, 2013 I became a FB black belt a few years ago. I made a post which was liked by my libertarian Catholic neighbor, left-wing pagan buddy from middle school, and anarchist athiest college buddy. You could almost feel the walls of divisiveness and conflict breaking, letting the love shine through. Almost. Quote

Guest scottzux Posted September 29, 2013 Report Posted September 29, 2013 My wife would be a millionaire lol Quote
talisyn Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 I use Facebook to keep track of relatives and share snark with sibling. I've stayed away from all games except candy crush. Thanks a lot, Psy. Quote
abeChristianson Posted October 4, 2013 Report Posted October 4, 2013 I use it to stay in touch with family and friends. Otherwise I would have noone to talk to.... LOL Quote
