What do people here think about them? I tried yesterday to get someone to calm down as she was over reacting about something. I got such a barrage of abuse from the people in the group that I just gave up and left.
I only just reactivated that account, and I am seriously thinking about scheduling deletion again as you cannot turn off the public comments
It worries me that perhaps I don’t post the right things here, and I am upsetting people.
That is more of a concern for me, as this is peer to peer support. Perhaps I need to cut out the internet comments/forums totally.
I am not on the FB boards. Didn’t know they existed. But I hope you don’t turn away from this forum. I enjoy your posts. I am sure others do too. I have never seen where you posted inappropriately.
That’s reassuring. Thank you for your view. The impact of upsetting people here may have a higher risk in terms of consequences…The last thing I would intend.
I think I am not welcome on Facebook anymore. There is so much hate, abuse and people taking offence on there, I don’t think it’s healthy to get involved in it at all.
@Joker Are you talking about a Facebook group on a certain subject like mental illness, for example, or about a comment to a facebook friend that others didn’t agree with? I’ve been lucky on groups in that I’ve only had one thread on which I was badmouthed.
I pm’d the people that I want to stay in touch with and got their phone numbers so I can text them and can cancel my facebook account. I felt like it was a popularity contest, and I hate those. Although, sometimes it’s the same here- a popularity contest, I mean.
Aww, I can only imagine what horrible things those ignorant, anti-science people said! I can’t stand people who would jeopardize the health of their kids and the general public because they think they’re smarter than a doctor and don’t believe in or understand peer-reviewed, large-scaled studies about how vaccines are effective and safe.
You were right to stand up to them! Shame that the science board didn’t moderate (do they moderate? I’m on facebook, but the groups I join are pretty modded).
I have already done it now. I think it was the right decision. It used to be interesting but now everything is just click bait and a lot of the news is the same crap being recycled over and over.
The comments boards were just the final thing really, you cannot turn them off, so I turned off Facebook!
