20240305 Community Guidelines

Community Guidelines

I kinda hate that word which I encounter earlier in Facebook. Most of my Friends would have been warned on their postings due to this 'Guideline'. Many lamented that their posts were either gone or, they were in FB Jail. So, we are not allowed to say or post things that will upset the Community. And frankly, I am still upset, in fact, seething. So do forgive me if my train of thought derailed and went diving on another tangent.

The Socmed Police

Once the platform is monitored (or Policed or, OK, censored) it is no longer a

We knew what you did... years ago

Granted that this platform is not ours but we can use it for 'free' as long as we accept their T&C whether we like it or, well, not. What really irks me is that despite trying to keep it clean, a sudden change or fart in the Community, what ever I did years ago now paints me as tethering on the edge to being the Bad Guy. Let's just say, years ago, you loved melons and all of a sudden, it is now associated with part of a female's anatomy. Then you get warnings after warnings about your postings, images and stuff about melons.

And this is not just Facebook now. It affects Pinterest and also, Blogger as well. Granted its their platform and they can do whatever they want. Its just irritating that after so many years, a post about something gets you into trouble. And that goal post is constantly moving about.

Whatever is on the Internet, stays on the Internet

Yeah, the Net is like one big Hard Disk, forever recording any so-called incriminating shenanigans and stuff I so willingly uploaded. So, it's going to be a hassle deleting every item I uploaded and not only that, duplicated by others.

How now, Brown cow?

Remember those Jokes about your potential employer looking into your Socmed accounts and all that? Yeah, I know it's pointless but man, at the back of my neurotic mind, I know it might affect me at that point in time and if not, at some point in the future.

To be honest, I am not bothered by all these right now, just the irritation that gets under my skin. It's like the Headmaster coming after me for throwing rubbish on the floor when I first entered school decades ago.

You know what, personally, I should not be bothered by all this and I should be diverting all my energy to working on my Website.


It's not me who blurred the image but Pinterest. Plus, I don't remember this image at all.
Maybe its the dress that I was interested during some weird character deisgn.


 
So, yeah, go ahead, man. Bring it on.
