I'm getting these constantly on IG RN. I put up a story and I get these sort of people viewing it, friend requests and DMs.

I've been curious as to whether people are engaging less on social media or it's always been the way.

I've been paying attention to my engagement on posts and while I'm not concerned about how many likes I get it makes me wonder how many people lurk on facebook and never engage. It does annoy me however when someone brings something up in RL weeks later about what I posted on FB and they tell me it was interesting but couldn't hit the like button. Or they make fun of me at work behind my back about what I posted.

The most likes I'll ever get is for a very significant post @25% engagement, 10% for something interesting, about 2% for random shit.

For stories I'll get as much as 33% viewing my stories, but when I posted an interesting poll, only 2% of my viewers did the poll. So what do you think? Why aren't people engaging?

It could be the time of day of posting. But there'll always be a percentage of people who lurk no matter how high you manage to get your reach up.
 
I've unfollowed a few friends who bleated about their right not to be vaccinated. Ok, but I don't need to read about your selfish stupidity thanks.

Ive unfollowed alot of "friends" and its got nothing to do with vaccinations.

I also did a massive clean out of my fb yesterday. Delete or hid a whole lot of cringey posts and deleted a few albums. Felt good tbh.

My word, having public FB discussions with the missus back in 2007 before we realised how cringey it is, oh dear.

The legit best public convo ive ever witnessed was a bride going nuts at her bridesmaid (who i had as a friend) saying she wasnt good enough etc. Was a full on public scrag fight. Was quite amusing

Yeah stuff like this is awesome, best bit about Facebook. Unfortunately it doesn't happen as much between friends, you need community pages for this sort of thing now.

She's got a point re. RSVPing.
Altho on the other hand, inviting 150 ppl overseas is kind of crazy, unless she and all her friends are rich.

Did piss myself at "only the cheap stuff is gone" :tearsofjoy:

I've got FB- but I've like "unfollowed" almost everyone on it. Just about 20 or so close mates + family, that I actually would want to see updates from.

Is good.
