And this is why I avoided Facebook for so long

[fimbrethil]

Well, I got into a way too long discussion/argument over slut-shaming Melania Trump yesterday. At the end of the whole thing I wasted an hour I couldn't get back and felt like I'd been trying to get a pig to sing. Bleh

"You cannot reason with unreasonable people". Dunno who originally said it, but I try to bear it in mind.

(Of course, the only way to discover if they are unreasonable people, is to try reasoning with them! =:o\ )

In other news... Do you have any thoughts on the recent news that LJ have moved now their data centres to Russia, or on the ensuing kerfuffle?

[fimbrethil]

I really don't care about the LJ move since I use it infrequently ar best. The servers do seem to have msoved and there are serious concerns about security that are riling people up.

I've found FB to be designed for "mile wide, inch deep" interactions. It's not good for any kind of serious discussion.

[fimbrethil]

Agreed. I am spoiled by the mostly polite and civil discussions I was able to have here in LJ.

Speaking of facebook, I'm the friend of Mary's who commented over there. I just don't like putting my LJ name out there on public posts which Facebook might decide to share with God only knows who.
