facebook and all the misinformation

[mickyryan]

i try to steer many as i can to our forums to get the correct help they are seeking, facebook seems to have a ton of folks who love posting but have no clue what they are taking about a lot of mis info out there sadly.

not a fan of fake book but it sounds a lot like THT , except many of the people there on that forum google first then post the search results to big note themselves ,not a lot of hands on experience on that forum.

both facetube and youbook have the same amount of misinformation.

I try steering folks to old truck forums that I am on or hot rod forums or iBoats. however they would rather find a youtube video than get a manual.

I've gone to Youtube for help and found it. But you need to have some subject knowledge so you can sift out the junk.
Most recent was applying knock down drywall texture. "The Kilted Guy" was a little weird, but his process was solid.
Also home appliance repair vids aren't bad. Often there is a factory tech doing the demonstration. ....again basic skills/knowledge and tools are a must.

the issue is a lot of people have been taught wrong over the years and lets be honest boats are a weird animal several ways to skin a cat but usually one good one and that's what we try to enforce on these forums is what we found to have worked well .

I only use Farcebook for the marketplace, better deals than craigslist ive found. Never posted anything on there, but have been banned twice, dunno why and don't care.

The closest thing I get to any social media is I boats. I also have a groupme dedicated for my sons scout activities. I think social media is the death to morality in modern times

 

[Scott Danforth]

So @froggy1150 how do you tell people you had Mac n cheese for lunch if you don't use social media.......

LMAO

 

[kcassells]

Agree 100% with most all. I do some shopping on there and it's not bad especially if its local.
The referenced forums are defensive, non-responsive, very short shelf life for any formal discussion. Best of all....total bunch of idiots.
I think I covered it. @zool only a couple times hehehehe me too, me, imagine that.

The admiral was constantly taking pictures of here dinners and posting. I told her she is radiating her food.......havent noticed her doing it as much now...lol

 

[poconojoe]

I dunno, I guess it's like a drug for a lot of people. An addiction.
If most would just not use FB, tic-tock or Twitter, maybe each of them would become less relevant.
It will never happen though because most people are just sheep.

Micky, aren't you kicked off facetube every few days...... LOL

 

[mickyryan]

yeah but in my defense, i cant help that fact checkers don't realize history is important last thing i got suspended for was saying Hitler was part of Volkswagen's origins about 2 months ago lol

 

[88 Capri (2022 SOTY)]

The only thing I try to do is share the facts I learned here.

I guess Allysa Milano didn't read your post. Otherwise she wouldnt have sold her Tesla to get a VW to get away from hatred and racism Elon now apparently reflects

Well it's been turning that way for the last several years. The number of people I've unfriended or outright blocked has been on the rise. Sometimes there's just no point continuing to have them in your feed. Same goes for some of the groups.

Maybe I'm getting old but I'm starting to report more posts on Faceplant

Ohh and Micky...Volkswagen...People's Vehicle. WWII. Mass produced and cheap for common people to purchase. Started under De Furer... **History major
