It doesn't fully take care of the problem, but I guess it kinda helps for pages that you like. I'm still irritated with FB!<br /> <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5980029/how-to-hide-embarrassing-facebook-likes-from-your-profile" rel="nofollow">http://lifehacker.com/5980029/how-to-hide-embarrassing-facebook-likes-from-your-profile</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-537775 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:23:44 +0000 Beebug 537775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Yah, it's awkward because I can't block her from fb or my albums because she's my MIL, but I'm also not down with going there and making it awkward saying "hey, mind not sharing my albums?" when we're already not on good terms.....so I just evade completely and no one gets to see pictures :S </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536933 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:02:42 +0000 Adira 536933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: I didn't realize about this sharing ability... :( Now I'm mad at Facebook again. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536808 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:17:10 +0000 Beebug 536808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is exactly why I have quit facebook. I have deleted everything off (because I hate how anyone can share my things (namely my MIL) that *I* make viewable to friends only, but then it's blown out of the water when someone "shares" my stuff.</p> <p>I hate how I can no longer comment or like anything without having to worry about who sees it, how I can maybe control who see's it or doesn't see it, instead of trying to figure out how to "protect" myself I just can't be bothered any longer. I used to love facebook, and loved sharing my pictures and whatever else I felt like! </p> <p>I don't get how facebook thinks it's a positive to make it so complicated for someone to have privacy on facebook, going to end up frustrating more people than anything I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536630 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:11:40 +0000 Adira 536630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: I'm not positive, but I think things that are hidden from your timeline don't show up in the newsfeed. I know that I've been posting bump photos and as soon as I post them, I hide them from my timeline, and people have told me they don't see them in their newsfeed at all. I believe that if you've hidden things from your timeline (or made it so only you can see it), then it won't appear in your friends' newsfeeds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536616 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:07:11 +0000 pelikila 536616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: According to that link, it will only hide the likes on your timeline, not from newsfeeds other people see so if you comment on a page, it may still show up in your friend's newsfeed. Maybe I understood it wrong but that is what I am reading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536612 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:05:34 +0000 Dandelion 536612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate the sponsored messages. Even if it's something that I didn't "like" it'll tell me so and so likes this page and shows me their ad. Right now the Doritos thing is driving me crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536604 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:04:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 536604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That same feature bothers me! I actually know that hellobee showed up in my feed because my mom mentioned it. But there are other pages too that show up... I hate seeing other people's pages so I can imagine its mutual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536594 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:01:10 +0000 fussygal 536594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The "like" feature really bothers and confuses me. I can't stand that when I like some random picture it shows up in everyone's newsfeed. Having been on FB since the very beginning, I'm really frustrated with how difficult they've made the privacy settings and I hardly post anything on FB anymore.</p> <p>I never thought I would, but I'm considering deleting my FB account because it's just a bunch of crappy political posts, game updates, and whiners.<br /> Ok, done venting now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536592 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:59:59 +0000 LuLu Mom 536592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hid everything on FB for it to show to "only me." Every app is set to this, if this is not an option I do not add. I hate that everyone can see what I'm doing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536447 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:26:55 +0000 sorrycharlie 536447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: @Leialou: I actually messaged someone and told them that once. I knew they were pregnant but she hadn't publicly announced, and they were posting all over a mom swap group and it was all over the newsfeed. I felt horrible for them! I figured a few minutes of awkward was worth it - she thanked me profusely and deleted it all in minutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536420 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:19:02 +0000 Adira 536420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can hide pages that you like from people - I think this might solve the problem? You can't select WHICH pages to hide, but hiding all of them will at least protect your privacy.</p> <p>Here's the link on how to do it: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/353629551372940/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/help/353629551372940/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536395 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:10:25 +0000 lawbee11 536395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I know! And she probably has no idea that everyone can see it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536379 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:01:42 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 536379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I feel bad for your friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536359 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:51:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 536359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: oh poor thing!! i made sure to only join a 'secret' bf group so no one can see your post without joining!</p> <p>@tororojo: exactly. fb tries to make it difficult i think!</p> <p>hate when i see what others "like"....as in, my cousin who liked a bunch of porn pages and they popped up all over my news feed. thanks dude! love that with my breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536254 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:10:59 +0000 prettylizy 536254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This drives me crazy. I also laugh when I see people 'level up' in bejeweled blitz in the middle of their work day.... not smart folks! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536179 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:50:51 +0000 tororojo 536179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like there's no way to be truly private on facebook these days, and if you want to hide stuff you have to click around and do it in various places. I think it's intentionally confusing! So I don't post much or like many things for that reason. I can't see myself liking HB on facebook, for the same reasons as @lawbee11. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536164 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:45:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 536164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I agree. Plus sometimes something you liked keeps getting promoted-- like I doubt one friend keeps liking this one store, yet probably once a week I see something about how she likes it. I need to look at my profile from DH's page more to check what's showing up about me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536154 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:43:01 +0000 pui 536154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I kinda dislike that too. There should be a way to say like "Don't share this" or something lol. Everything you like is shown to everyone. Sometimes there are things my husband can see of mine that I didn't even know would show up on the news feed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536153 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:42:52 +0000 Mrsbells 536153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve I tried that but then in the end it still says mark, sarah and charlie "like" this, and suggests that you like things too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536148 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:41:43 +0000 lawbee11 536148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The reason I started this thread is because one of my Facebook "friends" is having trouble breastfeeding and she wrote about it on this support group's page (asking for help) and it showed up in my news feed--so now all 1,000 of her friends know about her sore and cracked nipples and breastfeeding issues. Grrrrr!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536143 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:39:05 +0000 .twist. 536143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have it dead on. I hate the like feature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536142 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:38:37 +0000 Modern Daisy 536142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh yeah, I hate when you 'like' a page to get a discount then it installs an app that shows your FB friends all of your activity on the website in their newsfeed! It was so embarrasing, I did this with Tobi to buy a dress for my friends bachelorette party and all the clothes have 'sexy' names, so before I realized it all 200+ of my friends saw that I was looking at a "back me up" dress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536140 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:37:24 +0000 jedeve 536140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can select who will see the post. Set it to "only me" and it won't show up in timeline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536117 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:27:58 +0000 MaisyMay 536117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you can like things and then hide them. I did that with fertility friend so that people wouldn't know we were using it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536116 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:27:11 +0000 Mrsbells 536116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I'm with you I dont "like" pages on facebook for the same reason you mentioned its annoying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-vent#post-536112 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:24:57 +0000 lawbee11 536112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Facebook for keeping up with friends/family, but there are certain features that I can't stand. I hate that whenever I "like" or comment on something, it shows up in the news feed for everyone to see. I have seen a lot of baby contests recently that I would like to enter, but a lot of them require you to "like" their page and I don't want to do that because we haven't announced my pregnancy to everyone yet. </p> <p>This is also the same reason I haven't "liked" Hellobee on Facebook--I don't want my friends and family finding Hellobee and then finding me on here (I haven't written anything bad about them on here, I just like that it's "my" space). </p> <p>Are there any aspects of Facebook that bother you?? </p>
