The 76 year old woman I know who seems to be addicted to facebook and gets harrased by people reporting her posts and whatnot just wants to talk to people and share photos. The people and the photos and the emotions and the words people bring themselves -- Facebook just adds grief to that.
At best it's invisible, at worst it just kicks people out with no recourse, because some troll reported them, and because they're not a FB employee or a celebrity. These people are people, too. You barge into the public and drag it onto your platform, and then you don't just dehumanize people on it, you completely remove them. The rest either is friend or not friend, blocked or not blocked, posts are liked or not liked. Yes, it's a very poor model -- don't assume everybody else is using it, too.
> It makes me really happy to see my friends thriving.
That's the equivalent of "it's fun with friends" for game reviews. Every multiplayer game has that. Every site that allows sharing of photos and text has that. Because people have that.
> With people, by compartmentalizing some unsavory perspective someone has, you have the ability to change it later on through discussion.
When later? When was Facebook ever up for candid discussion? How come you blame it on those who, in absence of any say, ever, now think badly of Facebook?
