Agree with those who says it will not effect Fb much and it's incomparable with other past apps/social media platforms. The reason is that unlike others Facebook exploited us, humans in such a way with help of technology and psychology that there is almost no friction to get into Facebook world. On top of that the content people see on their feeds make them glued all the time. I have not been using Facebook for weeks and since then the news broke of privacy and stalking I shared multiple times with friends and family but no one gives a damn about privacy(unless one suffers him/herself) so they are happy to have some happy moments reading religious, political posts or joke. So, #deletefacebook campaign might work among some tech elites but not among commons, specially among villagers in long distant areas of Pakistan who use Facebook to interact with family members in cities.
- pknerd 9y agoNot sure why was I down voted? A little explanation could help.
- erikpukinskis 9y agoI don’t know either, but it’s against the HN posting guidelines to inquire. It’s hard to know where sentiment comes from, I’d recommend not dwelling on it too long. Just keep writing comments you believe in.
- oehpr 9y agoThe problem is with no feedback, it can be hard to adjust in the right direction. And I'm not 100% sure of this, but I think downvotes on this platform have consequences beyond just hiding one comment. I've noticed ordering anomalies here where people who posted newer comments and had > 0 points were ranked below people who posted older comments and had <= 0 points. There was some intrinsic ranking going on.
- pknerd 9y agoThanks! I was not aware of it. It was just curiosity to find reason to correct myself rather than running for scores.
