Dumb Facebook newb questions

Post by Dadio »

I just joined the RC10Talk Facebook group , never really used the book of many faces before other than to look at some photo's that are not posted elsewhere by a member of a WW2 Airsoft forum , I'm so ignorant of how it works my wife had to point out to me that people had wished me happy birthday as I never even considered looking .
So I guess I've got to ask , what do I use it for ? should I post builds up and is there a proper section to post them ? Is there a classified section ?
Help I'm so far behind with this that its almost embarrassing to ask :oops:

I envy those that aren’t forced to be on Facebook all day. If it weren’t a source of customers I’d have quit it a long time ago.

How you use it is more dependent on you. If you want your family and friends to be able to see your builds, that’s a good place for them. I tend to keep my Facebook page for less RC and more personal stuff like our cutting down of some trees last week or complaining about politics 😂 You can post your builds and such over on the 10talk group in Facebook and that way your friends and family don’t think you play with toy cars 😜. It’s an extension of the website, it would never replace what we have here but there is much more foot traffic there for sure.

No facebook. I know I am missing some opportunities maybe on some vintage RC porn etc. But I am stubborn on some points and am never joining facebook. Never. Big Brother already knows too much about me for my liking and it's just one of those things. Not for me. I guess there is some cool stuff going on but imo, it's just a facade that people bullsh*t other people from and often times, themselves. I guess I am just thankful that I haven't HAD to do it yet. Alot of stuff is just only on facebook.

You don't do facebook?

Do you live under a rock?

Yes, I enthusiastically live under a rock.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

I have a friend who works counter terrorism , he's not a door kicker on the front line but from what little he will talk about it he goes through captured computers to find out what they are up to , nobody in his family are on Facebook :!: He says it's the best and quickest way to get your identity stolen . I guess that's put me off more than a little as well .

Facebook sucks so you're not missing much. If you have something that doesn't align with the F-book agenda you get suspended but thats the fun part. Personally, I've dropped way off and only use it for the marketplace/auction sites. Got more groups than you can imagine to keep up with so its best to just find what you are interested in and just keep it simple.

Got a few slot cars and rc tires heading my way from the weekend but otherwise its just a big old classified ad for what you want.

Good luck.

Just a heads up about the posting projects. Not much there for being able to go back to find if you are wanting to revisit anything but its a sure way to see some stuff even if its just once and gone.
