Seriously. You and everybody else should keep on "liking" everything you want to. It's Facebook that annoys me because this is a known issue that they've chosen to ignore. I've searched the web for a way to change my settings so that I don't see all the likes (I'm sure I don't really see ALL of them), and the discussions about it always end up the same way: it can't be done through Facebook settings. I have learned that there are one or two third-party, add-on apps that have a fix for it. I normally check FB on my desktop computer. If you're usually on your iPad or smartphone, maybe there's some kind of filter on there that weeds them out. <br /><br />Also, I've come to believe that if I'm seeing an unknown person's wedding or vacation photo (because a friend "liked" it), that unknown person's privacy settings must not limit their posts to friends only.<br /><br />This is definitely a first-world problem, not at all important in the grand scheme of things. Guess I was just feeling cranky.

I must have something checked in settings that keeps that from happening to me, but don't ask me what. I "like" posts sometimes just to be supportive of the person who posted it and though it was just between us two. Sorry if I have annoyed you; it's unintentional.

I've often wondered how people with lots of FB friends keep from going crazy. As it is, sometimes I stay away for days at a time.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-671938343760562522014-05-06T18:43:57.636-05:002014-05-06T18:43:57.636-05:00Lucylocket, it's a great way to touch base wit...Lucylocket, it's a great way to touch base with friends and family, but that isn't as easy as it's purported to be. All the unsolicited posts--not to mention all the ads--make me feel as if I'm standing in the middle of a big cocktail party where snatches of other people's conversations are coming at me from all sides and I can't concentrate on what any one individual is trying to tell me. If I were at such a party, I would leave early, as I often do on Facebook.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-67614513803838411192014-05-06T18:33:33.959-05:002014-05-06T18:33:33.959-05:00Bob, Facebook is slowly killing me, too.

The other pet peeve I have is the "similar to" sites that follow anything I mark with a "like." One of my daughter has left FB because of the mound of stuff she is bombarded with. I'm thinking about it; however, I have very few friends so it isn't as much of an inconvenience for me.<br />Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03103997892412167320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-33104705927809361342014-05-06T13:30:03.377-05:002014-05-06T13:30:03.377-05:00I have never "understood" Facebook.
