She'll repost my photos and then surpise, surprise no one will comment on them since they can't see them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415670 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 12:18:52 +0000 youboots 2415670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use fb to share photos. I just am part of my March Moms group and follow local businesses. I share tons of photos on my private IG account </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415657 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 12:03:44 +0000 brownepiano 2415657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I have a square space website for my business. So I created a blog page that isn't linked to the site (but accessible if you know the right web address). It's password protected so once people find it they still need to know the password to see anything. I'm neurotic and change the password regularly and email everyone the new password. That way I make sure I control who can access it. I'm not sure if people can save images, I'd have to check.</p> <p>Edit to add: the images are downloadable. I suspect I could change that but I'm not sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415607 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 10:25:22 +0000 littlebug 2415607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a facebook account on which I have, like, 12 friends, none of whom would ever share any of my pictures because their friends don't care about my kid. I have a private IG account and choose my friends - I have blocked all of Hubs' family, because they like to screenshot and share my photos. My MIL does post photos of D on her own facebook, but it's rare. I wish she wouldn't, but their family already thinks I'm ridiculous with some of my rules and parenting stuff...I can't even imagine what they'd all say about me if I told her stop posting photos. If it gets out of control with the birth of #2 in a few weeks, then I'll say something, but for now it's not worth the family drama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415596 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 10:12:17 +0000 MoonMoon 2415596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the beginning 100% lockdown, no pictures of LO, in fact I got off Facebook so I wouldn't be tempted! Same with DH. And our extended families know better!</p> <p>Buuut... I did get on instagram after LO turned 2, and post pictures of him to my private account with 16 friends/family as followers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415555 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 09:26:30 +0000 regberadaisy 2415555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: @catomd00: when you tag someone in a picture, FB automatically changes your photo privacy settings from friends to friends of friends. But you *can* manually change that. </p> <p>And a general note, all cover &amp; profile photos are public. Even when it's no longer set as such it still remains public. But when it's not set as your profile or cover, you can go in and delete it OR change the privacy setting back to private. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415541 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 09:12:36 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2415541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownepiano: your blog sounds like a great idea. Which blog service do you use? Are people able to right click and save the pics from your blog? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415479 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 07:35:21 +0000 catomd00 2415479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: yes if they're tagged their friends can see. I felt bad when they'd share pics and o my our mutual friends could see! They have mostly family members I'm not friends with so I am comfortable with that on occasion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415477 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 07:29:59 +0000 Applesandbananas 2415477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: if they are tagged, do all of their friends see it or only ones who would see a shared picture? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415472 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 07:24:08 +0000 catomd00 2415472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We share pics with a select group of family and friends. If they share only our mutual friends can see. The only people who post occasional pics are our parents and they have tiny friend lists anyways and their settings are limited to just friends. We are comfortable with it. I typically just tag our parents in pics we think they'd share anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415465 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 06:59:10 +0000 brownepiano 2415465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to post some pictures and I have privacy settings but probably too many "friends" who I barely know anymore. I got worried about facial recognition and people stealing kids identities so I deleted all the pictures and stopped. Half our family never posts anyway, the other half has noticed and follows suit. We only have one friend who posts the occasional picture. I'm OK with occasional family pictures but that's it.<br /> I do have a password protected family blog and that's where I share pictures and stories instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415393 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 23:27:04 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2415393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I share photos occasionally but have private settings. My dad has posted a few pics or shared mine but does it minimally. However my step mom is FB obsessed and has posted tons of pics the 2 times she has seen DS (live out of state). It really bothers DH and I because she has no discretion but so far nothing has been offensive enough to confront her about but I am ready to have a talk when needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415391 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 23:24:49 +0000 daniellemybelle 2415391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I have a SIL that does this too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415365 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 22:49:54 +0000 pinkcupcake 2415365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty lax. My FB is set to private. I never share pictures that would embarrass or demean her. </p> <p>She models sometimes so I feel like her face is already "out" there ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415346 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 22:32:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2415346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty lax. Most of my FB is private, but my family will share pics and I don't care.<br /> My IG is private.<br /> I don't post any naked pics of DS (like no bathtub pics) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415343 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 22:31:32 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2415343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have private accounts and post pics of my son. </p> <p>Never any naked pics obviously. My family is allowed to post pics, they have private accounts too and know about the naked rule. If they posted something offensive I wouldn't have an issue telling them to take it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415333 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 22:21:06 +0000 hony bologna 2415333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't post anything and asked family not to post either. They've been very respectful of our wishes. We didn't bother explicitly telling our friends about our stance, but I'm sure they've figured it out by now! If a friend does post a pic with our LO in it, we just untag ourselves if one of us has been tagged as her. The one thing I allow myself to do is sometimes have a pic of/with her as my tiny Instagram profile pic. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415327 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 22:15:49 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2415327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no issues about posting pictures of DD on social media. All of my accounts are private so I don't see it as a big deal at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415296 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:52:55 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2415296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will request that no one post pics of my LO on social media and will lead by example. </p> <p>If my ILs or bro (the only people that may do this) post updates or pics I will have no clue since I didn't friend anyone when I joined FB again for BST and local mom groups. Living life stress free (IRL not HB sometimes lol) means I won't go snooping for problems either.</p> <p>I will make my wishes known when it comes to friends that may see my LO in person and take a pic. The way my BFFs protect their own nieces and nephews on social media I doubt I'll have any slip ups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415284 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:44:08 +0000 jhd 2415284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: yes MIl doesn't know this and I hope no one tells her! She shares my pics and that just means SIL &amp; niece get to see it again because we have very few friends in common! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415274 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:30:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2415274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: 😂 LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415267 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:28:08 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2415267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea, if someone reshares your photo and your account is set to private, none of that oerson's friends will be able to see it unless they are friends with you.</p> <p>I post pictures of all my kids on Facebook and Instagram. Both of them are private. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415265 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:25:56 +0000 Smurfette 2415265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: my SIL doesn't realize this.

You could even set different list and only let that list see pictures you post, etc. ie a family list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415260 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:21:52 +0000 Applesandbananas 2415260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: that's interesting!

My parents will sometimes post their own but know I don't care for oversharing. They are very respectful of my wishes and I have a small friends list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415251 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:13:48 +0000 regberadaisy 2415251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your account is private it should be pointless for people to share your post. If their friends aren't friends with you then they can't see your pictures anyway. </p> <p>If you're worried about people screenshoting your picture then you're Better off never posting pictures. :)</p> <p>Generally, i have no problems posting pictures of my kids on social media. My account is private and I only have friends that I know and trust. I regularly go through and unfriend people because of this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-social-media-stance#post-2415243 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 21:09:02 +0000 Applesandbananas 2415243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Regarding pictures of your LO? </p> <p>Does anyone do an in between kind of thing, where you post occasional pictures, but ask everyone else not to post pictures and not to share what you post?</p> <p>I keep my settings private and don't post any photos of LO and everyone has been very respectful of that. My friends list is really small, mostly close friends and family. </p> <p>I'm starting to reconsider my stance, in an ideal world, I'd like to be able to post an occasional picture without anyone sharing or reposting (privacy concerns, some of my friends have MASSIVE friends lists, like 1,000+) and without others posting their own photos of LO. </p> <p>Curious what everyone else does and how it has worked out! </p>
