Facebook question...

Alright...so I am 1 or 17 people worldwide not on FB. Here's my dilemma. My father is on FB and remarkable outspoken politically. To the point where it's embarassing. He's the classic "I'm retired I don't what anyone thinks" guy.

So how can I join FB and be friends with him, but hide my friendship on FB? Is this even possible?

Thanks for the feedback.

 

Your saying you don't want his posts showing up on your Timeline

 

That for sure...

I'm on the fence about even friending him!

 

If you friend him there will be an arrow if he posts something in the right hand corner of the post. Click on that and highlight unfollow. You will still be friends but not see his posts

 

don't join facebook it is that simple

the world doesn't actually revolve around facebook

 

yeah but he will show up as linked to him therefore associated with him, if he is trying to hide that, it won't work


but yes, just do not follow, and you can ignore it

anyhow, facebook drama LOL. it is all inside your head, made up misery IMHO

 

To each their own brother, I'm on there as I am an admin for my son's 4th class as him room parent. I also head up my son's Scout Pack. So there are other uses to Facebook that some people like to use it for

 

true true

no blanket statements apply to everyone

but the drama part ? man, such human waste of time facebook brings to too many people for too many reasons.

 

Oh I agree with that and it's Political Season so I have most of my people on Unfollow because of all the stupid garbage posted

 

Don't get on Facebook!!

 

Extreme political spewing drives me bonkers.

 

Set the privacy on your friends list so that only you can see who you are friends with.

 

The better question is how can you access his FB account and friend all of the political sites that he doesn't agree with.

 

First off, fuck facebook. Second, dont be his friend. If he asks why, tell him why. He told you how life works as you were growing up, now its your turn to tell him.

 

Lol "first off fuck facebook" good chuckle while in waiting room here...

 

If you join facebook, facebook will get your DNA and automatically link you to your dad. And you will be deemed guilty by association.

and did you know that .....

 

I wholeheartedly agree.

If you want to know everyone's opinion about every stupid thing than Facebook is the place to be.

 

Facebook proving ignorance for 10 plus years!!

 

Obv I have not felt compelled to join the shit show that is Facebook to this point. However, we just moved to a new community where all our boys classmates parents organize through FB. Sometimes we get a courtesy text cuz people can't find us on FB.

It's oddly enough for our kids more than anything.
