I am trying so hard to like it because so many of my FS and Glitch friends are there but all the FB garbage really puts me off. I can't do anything without the darn Pop-up asking to post it on FB and/or a second pop-up asking how much real money I want to spend on some virtual game enhancement. I am just too upset to get very far into ti :(

    My new motto: "You can take the girl out of Glitch, but you can't take the Glitch out of the girl." (And anything that's strictly on FB I won't play, because I don't do FB.)

    I don't do FB games but if you poke around in the settings (the app settings or your account section re: apps) you may be able to pre-emptively refuse it all permissions to post to your wall. I can't promise it's possible with this one, but I have helped other friends do that with other games.

    I abhor FB. Haven't been on it for months. It's an identity-sucking whore.

    Don’t post private stuff you don’t wish to share with ALL of the world, avoid games and applications, just communicate in the groups – and the Fb experience can be somewhat bearable. ;)

Thanks for the advice! I have been at FB for many years and find it more unbearable now that ever (sigh). There are a lot of "updates" and "likes" on my site that I have nothing to do with and can find no way to stop. I am especially angry about the "Likes" for ads that I have not even seen much less "Liked". I have stopped liking anything but comments by Friends as a result. I don't even "Like" photos that come from some commercial site even if I do like them and they are posted by friends.

    You might want to try to go through your privacy settings. I’m hesitant to say that the stuff you describe shouldn’t happen, as we ARE talking about Disgracebook and I’ve configured my profile to be paranoid and restrictive about what can be done without me explicitly giving permission for it. But it can be done with a little work. Drop me a line if you need more detailed advice on setting it up. :)

    I am mainly on Google+ although I am under no pretence that I have more privacy there, but I just don't get all the ads, people's likes/friends with etc crap. AI am only on facebook for my family really who wont change. I found facebook more bearable by getting rid of the timeline when I view facebook (as far as others are concerned they see me with a timeline). I call it FarceBook, I have called it much worse.
