It doesn\u2019t matter if you are on it or not, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/facebook-addiction-signs\/\" rel=\"noopener\">active<\/a> or not, or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/fall-of-facebook\/\" rel=\"noopener\">hate it<\/a> or not; if you are on the Internet, you know what Facebook is. Safe to say that after nearly a decade, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/whats-next-for-facebook\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook is still going strong<\/a> and affecting the lives of millions every day. And if you have been on it for years, you would have known about some of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/types-of-facebook-updates\/\" rel=\"noopener\">things Facebook users do<\/a> that just makes no sense.<\/p>\n<p>But I guess this is just the new wave coming (or is it here already?). It\u2019s quite common to see Facebookers <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/view-facebook-photos-pinterest-style\/\" rel=\"noopener\">post photos<\/a> of their meals, self-portraits of them sleeping (don\u2019t ask me why) or secret tips about how to stay healthy without exercising (hm\u2026).

Facebook is free<\/h2>\n<p>\u2026 and it is going to stay that way. To be fair, you don\u2019t have to pay with money to stay on Facebook. You may however need to pay with other things, like your data, or being subjected to ads, products, and messages from advertisers.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Sick Babies and Charities<\/h2>\n<p>Do sick babies need your \u2018Likes\u2019 and \u2018Shares\u2019 to get Facebook to donate money to them? Nope. What they need is the treatment for their illness, and for people to respect their privacy and not take advantage of their photos. Your clicks do help make money, for the pages that are sharing these messages.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Likes\u2019 increase the fan base, \u2018Shares\u2019 give them exposure. Everything makes sense now, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<h2>3. \u2018Shares\u2019 do not make you money<\/h2>\n<p>If the family of sick babies is not getting any money, why do you think you are getting some just for sharing? Even if Bill Gates holds up a (Photoshopped) sign saying you get 5 grand for clicking \u2018Share\u2019. Seriously, people.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/facebook-facts\/bill-gates-donation.jpg\" alt=\"'Shares' do not make you money\" width=\"500\" height=\"465\"><\/figure>\n<p>You know about the think before you print move right? Maybe we should start a \u2018Think Before You Share\u2019 movement.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Game Invites Are Bad For Relationships<\/h2>\n<p>Game invites and requests are a major source of relationship breakdowns. If you play Facebook games, please try to not send help requests indiscriminately. It\u2019s for your own good.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Credibility on Facebook<\/h2>\n<p>Not everything you read on Facebook is true. If any particular food is inducing cancer in people, reports would have been filed and it would have been taken off shelves. It takes two minutes to copy and paste the gist of the message into Google and to check if it is a hoax or not. Two minutes. Otherwise, check the image.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Tell-tale Images<\/h2>\n<p>The fastest shortcut to checking out shocking things you find on Facebook is to check the image attached to the info if there is one. For instance, I came across a circulating hoax about Vitamin C, seafood, and arsenic poisoning. The idea is you shouldn\u2019t take ascorbic acid (that\u2019s Vitamin C) with prawn, shrimp, or any type of seafood because the combo is going to produce arsenic and kill you (or something like that\u2026 I don\u2019t know. I\u2019ll admit it; I didn\u2019t read the whole thing.)<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/facebook-facts\/vitamin-c-poisoning.jpg\" alt=\"vitamin c poison\" width=\"500\" height=\"355\"><\/figure>\n<p>Problem is, the photo that was attached to the warning was actually a photo of a brave protester who was shot and killed in a protest in Iran, 2009. Google Image will probably help in that area.<\/p>\n<p>And if you are still wondering if this arsenic poisoning story is true or not, you better stop using lemon on your sea bass.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Tagging and Access<\/h2>\n<p>Tagging a friend\u2019s name into one of your shared photos will give their friends access to your photo. Translation: every friend you tag into your photos has friends that you do not know. And whatever drunken, funny, ridiculous, or humiliating photo you tag your friends in, shows up on their friends\u2019 feed as well.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Being Too Vocal<\/h2>\n<p>Facebook has always been the cure for a narcissistic rant. If you want people to like you, don\u2019t voice your opinions on religious, political, or sensitive issues. If you can\u2019t help it, it\u2019s fine, just don\u2019t expect people to like your statuses as much as you do. And the world is at peace again.<\/p>\n<p>But while we\u2019re on the subject\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>9. Liking Your Own Post<\/h2>\n<p>Liking your own post\u2026 hm\u2026<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/facebook-facts\/high-five.jpg\" alt=\"highfive\" width=\"500\" height=\"347\"><\/figure>\n<p><small>(Image Source: 9gag)<\/small><\/p>\n<p>It is kind of like giving yourself a high five, at times it\u2019s like you are comforting yourself for coming in last in a marathon. It\u2019s part congratulatory, part consoling, and you know it is bad when your own Like is the only one registered there. You posted it, so don\u2019t you think that counts as a Like already?<\/p>\n<h2>10. Two Blocks Make No Friends<\/h2>\n<p>If Timmy and Tommy block each other, Facebook automatically breaks them up. With a two-way block, you both get pushed back to the \u2018Send friend request\u2019 stage. This is a super awkward conversation piece in parties and get-togethers. See #11 for a solution.<\/p>\n<h2>11. Stay Friendly<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that you can keep someone out of your feed but still keep them as friends? If some of your friends tire you out with never-ending repeats of things you do not want to see, just opt out of seeing them in your news feed. Check this post on how you can <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/facebook-wall-feeds\/\" rel=\"noopener\">better manage your Facebook Wall Feeds.<\/a> Note however that they can still see your feed.<\/p>\n<h2>12. Pending Friend Requests<\/h2>\n<p>Some people just don\u2019t like adding \u2018friends\u2019. It doesn\u2019t mean that he or she doesn\u2019t want to be a friend, it just means that they don\u2019t want you gaining access to their inner circles and thoughts. This is understandable when you are the boss\u2019s daughter and company employees are delaying their approval of your friend request. *hint hint*<\/p>\n<h2>13. Private or Public<\/h2>\n<p>There is the option to set whatever you share to turn up only in your Friends\u2019 feed or publicly. If you open your Facebook to subscription and hence have followers, this is your way to keep your personal feeds to just your friend\u2019s views and other stuff for public scrutiny.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/facebook-facts\/drunken-mode.jpg\" alt=\"drunken mode\" width=\"500\" height=\"253\"><\/figure>\n<h2>14. Practise Self-Restraint<\/h2>\n<p>I love Ellen, and the crazy things she does on her show, particularly one that <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SCaKuAdKumA\">outs people for the humiliating things they do on Facebook<\/a> on nationwide TV. Yeah, if it\u2019s Not Safe For Mom, don\u2019t put it up on your Facebook because once it is out there, it\u2019s out there. Ellen will make sure of it (and give you an iPad so you won\u2019t sue her).<\/p>\n<h2>15. Privacy and Facebook<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, Facebook has lousy <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/facebook-privacy-settings-you-should-know\/\" rel=\"noopener\">privacy settings<\/a> but unless you are in the witness protection program or put someone in there, privacy should be the least of your worries. If it still is, that would mean that you are posting something up there that you don\u2019t want some people to know.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Choose to share it <\/strong>and expect it to end up somewhere you may not like or <strong>don\u2019t post it,<\/strong> and take the secret to your grave. See, you do have a choice.<\/p>\n<h2>16. Log Out on Shared Computers<\/h2>\n<p>Sharing is caring unless it has to do with your Facebook. When viewing your Facebook account on someone else\u2019s device, remember that the Log Out button is your friend. Avoid being the victim of a friendly \u2018hack\u2019 or worse, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/keeping-online-data-safe\/\" rel=\"noopener\">losing your account<\/a> and everything attached to it to an actual hacker.<\/p>\n<h2>17. Attitude Counts<\/h2>\n<p>If you run a page, don\u2019t treat it like a personal profile. Having a bad attitude or lousy PR skills negates your role as a social profile manager. Don\u2019t bash your customers even if they are trolls, <em>even<\/em> if they are \u2018asking for it\u2019. It\u2019s never worth it.<\/p>\n<h2>18. Giving Exposure<\/h2>\n<p>Facebook is one of the most powerful (if not the most) news-spreading tools on the Internet right now. Whatever it is that you share, you direct traffic to. If you come across a video that is showing cruelty to animals which makes you angry, the last thing you want to do is sharing the video and saying your thoughts about it.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because you are helping the video gain exposure; you are helping to spread the video. There is no such thing as bad publicity on the Internet or on Facebook. Wherever you drive traffic to, the receiver will thank you for it.<\/p>\n<h2>19. Speak the world\u2019s language<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to find friends from other countries, cultures, or backgrounds if you keep insisting that they speak your language. If you want to mingle, let your friends use whichever language they want, while you use Google Translate or the \u2018See translation\u2019 link you see below statuses made in foreign languages.<\/p>\n<h2>20. \u2018Complaining to\u2019 Versus \u2018Complaining About\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Suffered an injustice in the hands of a bad waiter, a roach in your salad, a faulty product, or a rude sales rep? Don\u2019t take it to your own Facebook wall to complain about them; take it up with their social media page.<\/p>\n<p>You can send them a private message or post it on their Wall but try to be civil about it (hard as it may seem). If you want to release frustration, remember that the person in charge of the wall will probably be a different person than the one who made you angry. Sought for a solution rather than retribution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drop in your two cents. I know you have plenty.
