He basically says he doesn't like it. You have to be pretty trigger-happy to be offended.

- lucideer 9y agoHe does say that, that I agree with, I don't like it. He goes on to further imply those using it have low self esteem, are jackasses, or rich people with complexes. That's an addition to the comment that doesn't contribute to the discussion.
- seizethecheese 9y agoSure it does. Each type of social media appeals to a different type of person and determines the content you see. Yeah, the descriptions are a bit brash, but there's no need to squash discussion with accusations of offensiveness.
- jhayward 9y agoIt is impossible to discuss the utility or value of Facebook without discussing the quality of the content it provides. As witness, the role of bots and misinformation, rabble-rousing, and white supremacist network coordination and recruiting in the 2016/2017 US election and aftermath. His comment is both useful and germane.
- slackingoff2017 9y agoI appreciate other opinions which is why HN is so much better place than Facebook. Yeah I trashed it, it was bad for me. And I have a feeling it is for many others the same. And you might be right that I'm just a cynical jaded ass, I won't rule that out either. However I think opinions can be dissenting, and even incendiary like mine often are and still contribute to or spark meaningful discussion. And this is a difference in opinion I'm fine with. If I wanted everyone to agree with me I would adopt a vastly different writing style.
- em3rgent0rdr 9y agoReading slacking's comments, I feel that slacking is the type of person that slacking complains about. By putting down all those lesser people who use facebook, slacking appears to me to be just another "person with low self esteem" with a "complex to show the world how great their lives are".
