Facebook Paradox

The paradox you find yourself in when you want to up-vote a social media item that has a sad or negative subject. . You merely want to bring the post to attention of your social network but you question whether someone will misunderstand why you are clicking "like/+1/thumb-up/up-vote/etc"

I struggle with the Facebook Paradox. do I click LIKE to share this news feed item, "'Clumsy the Clown' tragically falls from balcony to his death at children's birthday party." Why isn't there a DISLIKE button? Or a button for MEH?

Facebook Proxy

When somebody looking over your shoulder tells you to post something on somebody's Facebook page, when you have no desire to leave a message for that person.

Girlfriend: "Hey! Post Happy Birthday" on your nephews Facebook page !"

Me: "I don't even know him. He is my sister's son."

Girlfriend: "Just do it !"

Me: "Yes, m'am-you are a Facebook Proxy."

facebook single

People who are in a relationship, but have yet to announce it, are classed as facebook single. They can then enjoy the privileges of giving the appearance of being single (i.e. to flirt with people on a night out) whilst covertly being in a real-world relationship.

It's ok Geoff, I can buy her a drink as I'm Facebook Single.

Facebooking

(v). To use personal knowledge, info, trust, or other uncomfortable means to coerce an audience into reluctantly accepting a narrative.

Zucc: Strangers on the internet are bad. The future is Groups, the internet is the new living room.
Me: Mark, stop Facebooking me.

Zucc: Facebook is and always has been a privacy company.
Silicon Valley: Bro is he Facebooking us again? They've been selling our data to the highest bidder to years.

Zucc: TikTok is almost like the Explore Tab we have on Instagram.
Everyone on TikTok: He still Facebooking over there? *hits whoa*

Facebook Syphilis

A chronic cognitive impairment that is contracted chiefly by infection during unprotected use of Facebook. As the Facebook core demographic drifts older and to the right: the toxic memes and viral bullshit on your feed will fry your brain like a Sunday walk through Chernobyl.

Like regular Syphilis, those infected should expect to have their brains turn into swiss cheese.

There is no known cure.

My dad will not stop talking about how 5g can communicate with the COVID vaccine. I think he has Facebook Syphilis.
