Facebug

I know there's a lot going on in the outside world right now, and I'll get to that, but I have to update you on what's become of my Facebook account.

It turns out that the pop-up message informing me that Facebook has removed some of my content is not a notification that I have been locked out or that I have been suspended. It's a bug that Facebook doesn't know about and apparently doesn't care about.  There have been numerous complaints about this defect on other social media, and one person offered the following solution - go to the development tools by pressing F12 on the computer keyboard, delete the elements of the pop-up, then proceed to your Facebook account as usual.

Except for one thing: It's a temporary fix, and you'll get the pop-up again when you log back in and you have to do it all over again.  Some people who managed to delete the elements of the pop-up in the development tools went on to delete saved links from their Facebook accounts, and that solved the problem permanently.  I tried that but it didn't work for me. 

It was at that point that I went full speed ahead with the new Facebook account I'd just opened.  When I  looked at my old account while using my new one, I found hat, despite reports that the pop-up saying that  that Facebook has removed some of my content, many of the pictures I'd uploaded onto my old account were missing.

So, even though the pop-up message appears to be a bug, Facebook did remove content, after all.

Bastards!

I'm recovering as many photos from my old Facebook account as  can, and I have also been sending friend requests to friends on my old account to get them to join the new one.  But as I had nearly eight hundred friends, I am not trying to recover all of them; instead, I expect to get maybe a hundred or so of them.  It is obvious that I am going to have to look forward to a much smaller Facebook presence, with less content and fewer friends.  That's fine by me.  I don't need to post so much on Facebook anymore, and most of the "friends" on my old account are people I don't know from Adam and Eve.  I'm only posting what matters most, and I want to keep the friends that matter most.  It's about time that I started to appreciate quality over quantity.
