Someone sent me a link to a Facebook post. I said no, thank you, I do not have an account there. They then said, neither do I. I asked how they were able to see the FB post and they said I don't know, but here's the link for it from my Instagram account.

*not enough face palm*

This is the typical understanding, or lack there of, regarding META.

@noondlyt I just watched a baseball replay on my phone via the web from the Facebook domain. I don’t have FB or Instagram on my phone. I get what you are saying about Meta and such but in the last 15 minutes I had a similar experience.

@patmikemid

I don't want to go near those domains

@noondlyt Completely understand. If my only current source of income didn’t rely on Meta, I wouldn’t either. Nothing on my phone anymore, though.

@noondlyt @patmikemid I was kind of horrified when I realized that the obituary pages at the funeral home that took care of my mom and my brother were connected to Facebook. I think the funeral home notified Facebook of my brother‘s death because I know I didn’t do it as the personal representative, but someone did.

The part that freaked me out was that I wasn’t able to respond to comments on his obituary page after the first day or two because he had me blocked on Facebook when I deleted my facebook account a year or two before he died. The funeral home was able to go unblock me so I could communicate with the people trying to communicate with me there, but it was weird as hell.

And the weird part for me was that I had a different phone, but I guess the same Internet service, from when I deleted Facebook to when I was typing on the obituary page. To make an entry there it asks for your name and email address but I wasn’t using the same one I used on Facebook. So I don’t even know how it knew it was me trying to reply to people on the obituary page.

But why TF is a funeral home website so connected to Facebook that it would block people blocked on facebook??

So many small businesses have FB presence because it was the first viable option that was free and fairly well layed out.
