I have never been on Facebook, I hope I'm not missing out on something.

You’re not.

Thank you, HesCalledDyer.

I disagree. Depending on what your interests are and how you use it, it's very handy/useful and can be a very positive resource. It can also be the exact opposite. It's just up to the person using it.

Agreed, I like Facebook. It all depends how you use it.  One of the greatest things about Facebook is in my opinion it has made the traditional high school reunion obselote.  Many of my “friends” on Facebook are people I haven’t seen since graduation night way back in 96. Now I know what they do, whether they have kids, where they live, etc. 

Creeper!

I was scrolling through the posts in the group wondering who is who on here.

which facebook group?  The "official" pearl jam one run by Dimitris and Boston Lou? yes. I know there are a few others also.

I went through a 'friend the people from high school who I didn't care about enough to stay friends with' phase too, when I first got on there. But later I unfriended them all because I realized I didn't give a shit what they were up to, and I didn't really want them to see what I was up to either, lol. What I do love facebook for is to be more involved/knowledgeable about my specific interests and hobbies. Obviously it's great for music fans, to follow venues, get ticket announcement info earliest, band news, etc etc, and you can join groups specific to bands and locations (i.e. there is a Vancouver PJ fan group. Great for getting local info and tix info, etc etc. I'm also in a couple groups for horror movie fans (just one example). That helps me know about new and old films I've not seen before, see actual fan reviews, I can talk about the movies with other really interested people, about the genre in general, and there are a ton of viewing parties hosted on these kinds of groups, which is awesome.

Then there are the vinyl junky groups, which are super duper handy, and so on and so on. And then of course all the news sources on there are great too.

So yeah, Facebook can really enrich a person's interests a lot! Literally ANY interest a person might have.

And there are privacy settings - we're only vulnerable on FB if we allow ourselves to be (for the most part... of course they still use us for marketing purposes on there... but I really don't care enough about that to let it stop me from using it).

What, the "official" one? I'm on there... I rarely if ever post on it, but I'm still a member. That group is bat shit crazy for the most part, lol, and not in a good way. There is much too much blind obsession on display there, and it's just awkward. I'm on the other big one too, which is maybe what this thread is asking about? I literally never post to that one, I think because it used to be open, and I would never post to an open group. So I learned to ignore it (might have changed to closed now).

This one...

I'm in the "Official Pearl Jam Tenclub members" group and the "Scandinavian Pearl Jam fans" group.

Through FB I found this on there!!!

ConorKavanagh

I'm not a member of the one you mentioned. I am in another one, and literally within a week of joining I had to mute the notifications from the thing!!!

Facebook is good, I am in a bunch of groups as well as the “official.” The official can be crazy, but the more specific groups are so much better than the boards. 

Facbook is especially better for the variety. Here we get the same 25 people daily. Which is fine and I enjoy it still, but it gets boring. Even santos likes facebook better lol

Oh. Yeah, I'm a member of that, but I'm not a fan of it and never even look at the posts or anything. Like someone else said, the other one is much more popular, which just means more activity in general.

Facebook is fine.  Users could be a problem.  Typically the most frequent posters are the worst.  I use them as entertainment really.  Some people are a psychological wonder.

The 10c fan pages are fine.  I dont really post much (anywhere).... but usually in closed groups.  My wife posts pictures of the kids for the family.

Just make sure your wife is using solid privacy settings. I've read terrible things about what some creeps do with kid photos from facebook.

I use to warn family, especially family posting their kids pics...they just look at me like I'm an alien.  So, I no longer bother, stay stupid is how I look at with them...

Not a fan of people showing off their kids on facebook. 
What for? Ego boost?

If you call wanting to share your pride and joy with your friends and family an ego boost, then yeah. But of course most people actually do have at least a few friends who also really care about their kids and they want to see photos of them. Like grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, etc. It's way easier to just throw it all up in once place than email them around. But anyway, even if I had kids, I wouldn't allow a single photo of my kids on social media.

I'd just share it in private on messenger or upload them all on a Google drive and send the link to the folder in private.
My sisters refuse to share their kids online so I don't share my nieces and nephew.
My friend and his partner have decided to never post their kids photos once they arrive.
Too risky with the sickos online.

I think the point is that everyone is already on FB, so it's simply far less work to put everything up there.

It's amazing how oblivious most people are about what they put online and the risks they open themselves up to.

Yeah, although that isn't overly helpful with photos. Even with a private account, once your FB friends are tagged or anything like that, the photo could have escaped your own privacy settings.
