(35,788 posts)I know very little about Facebook and can say I have clicked on a FB link no more than 25 times in my 20-year + association with the internet. I basically disagree with the concept of Facebook because to me it seems like a concept that's "all about me." Well, I just happen to think that nobody really cares about the minutiae of my life so I am not about to publish anything about myself on FB.
Today, however, I happened to get an email telling me that an old childhood friend posted a pic. Knowing it was her b'day, I thought I'd take a look. I have not seen this person in decades, but we were best buddies throughout childhood and high school.
Instead it was a post imploring everyone to get a vaccine. This person is a rightwinger and is in a red state. Turns out she has 2 friends in the hospital now and each has been there a month.
So instead of celebrating her birthday with her friends, she's on Facebook requesting people get vaccinated.
