Like when you see they've changed to a joint account, and you think "ooh, which one of you cheated on the other?"

"We're working on our relationship". Well yes.
Get off of it
Since when do random low quality social media posts qualify as "meme"?-_-
A meme is a "self-propagating" unit of culture.
OP saw this and was compelled to share it. It's culturally relevant, as it speaks (perhaps satirically, perhaps seriously) about an aspect of human (more specifically: western online) culture.
It's a meme. I don't like it any more than you do but it IS definitionally a meme.
That's why I tell people to loosen up when they complain that the format is being misused. If it works, it works. It is evolution. I don't like the look of snails any less than the rest of the general population do, but snails evolved the way they did because it works.
90% of "memes" nowadays aren't memes.
Honestly, following gossip about people you're actually connected with is still better than random accounts, pages, and posts you don't follow being forced on your feed.
It unexpectedly happened to me recently, and I didn't mean to follow the gossip so much as I was surprised, and I discovered the husband had put up a video of the wife cheating on him that he had hired a private investigator to follow. That is very much not nice, but also cheating is crappy. Last person I expected it from would be her.
So…did you goon?
I am too old to understand this reference..
Did you watch it?
Saying you have to stay on Facebook to keep up with people says you aren't able or willing to put in the energy required to keep up with people yourself.
There are hundreds of communication platforms, and a most of them aren't run by assholes trying to ruin society for their own personal gain.
That's a 2 way street. I will say from experience that not using social media like Facebook dramatically dwindled who will reciprocate by text or email.
Fine by me for my life, but I saw the difference as they all used it more and more and I did not.
Same, but I also recognized that the people who wouldn't message me back were not people that I wanted to spend extra effort on communication with when they couldn't bother to respond to a text.
The people that matter make the effort, but many of us are concerned with the quantity of friends instead of the quality of the friendships. I have fewer people to talk today than I did on Facebook, but at least I actually want to talk to them instead of just going through the motions.

Never cared for this type of stuff while I was on Facebook. It's been ages though. I don't miss it one bit.
just stay on livejournal
Are you serious? It's a propaganda tool basically owned by the Russian government now.

There is no reason good enough to still be on the Meta hamster wheel in 2025. Facebook, insta, whatever. Get out as fast as you can.
You know it’s a dumpster fire yet you remain. There was no way I was going to try and convince you.
Technically I still have an account. It’s from the before times when you could have a fake name and not need to verify anything. I’ve used it twice in 9 years, both times for selling things. Pissed it’s still the best place for that.
Facebook has had my middle name as a last name since day 1. I was never into giving them personal information.
