I’ve never had a Facebook account but been questioned by UK police who demanded my non existent Facebook account maybe a dozen times.
Unfortunately I’m now on benifit having lost my job and they keep bring up damn Facebook and trying to make me make an account.
There’s something badly wrong here, don’t use Facebook imo I honestly think it’s some kind of trap at this point.

I tried for a while fighting in my local facebook groups, but it just served to make me mad and didn’t put a dent in the constant barrage of nonsense. I started blocking them all and finally just stopped using facebook entirely.
It’s sad since those are really the only online groups for my town. I just have no interest in engaging in the local community now.

Local groups are the absolute worst. I realized exactly what you did, that it’s the absolute worst most horrid people in my area all together. Nextdoor was even worse. I remember (no shit) a picture of a black man walking down a sidewalk with a caption “Anyone know why he’s here?”. I was horrified that my neighbors were like that, just the absolute horrible racism in doing that.

My local nextdoor has an issue with non white people in vans. Like normal builders eating their lunch and Sharon down the road is posting “Anyone know why this man is here? Stayed there for 45 minutes, very suspicious, might be stealing dogs”.

I legit chuckled at the ending. Because that is exactly how they write comments. Some stupid fucking thing in their brain, “Black people steal dogs”. They heard somewhere that a dog went missing and their critical thinking skills go “The boogeyman black person obviously did it”

People with too much time. My wife had a busy kid drop off/pickup / work schedule. If she was done work early she would park a block away from school and sleep in the car till dismissal time…some Karen came out complaining she can’t sleep in her car and needed to leave. lol
