This year I’m back on Instagram. And as expected, it hasn’t taken long for someone dodgy to come along and try to involve me in a romance scam..
And when that didn’t work, they showed me their ass.
Welcome back to the Gram there pal, it’s been a while..
Mid last year (that’s 2022 for those time travelling readers of mine) I went on a bit of a Facebook unfollowing spree which was a) very cathartic and b) something I don’t regret. At. All.
However in the absence of all the irrelevant or miserable status updates putting my feed in a UFC choke hold, Facebook now feels the need to fill the gaps – with many a stupid suggestion under the Suggested For You banner..
What I’m trying to do: Sell an old bike.
What’s happening instead: Another reminder on how Facebook Classifieds is 1 part selling success but 19 parts equal hilarity and frustration..
Zuck, you look a little tired and after your plan to metavise the planet went south, a little stressed too. I feel you need a vacation and to leave things in capable hands – namely someone like me! I’ve been around since ninjas fought pirates and you could poke people randomly so if anyone could look after the Facebook shop, I feel I could. So off you go, I’ve got this.
Oh and don’t be suprised by my new rules for Facebook when you get back..
