this is the last fucking straw:

""If you don't link to any Pages, the following sections on your profile will be empty: *Work and Education *Current City *Hometown *Likes and Interests""

please suggest a suitable replacement

where did you see this?

5/24/2010 5:15:33 PM

prompted on facebook to select which pages (read ads) I wanted to link to

I deselected all of them, then got the warning

5/24/2010 5:18:05 PM

RAWR RAWR RAWR

hide the crap from your feed if it's a big deal. i didn't notice much more volume after did the linking thing.

The new linking "option" greatly reduces your privacy as well

I was forced to link over a month ago

5/24/2010 5:34:07 PM

^ how?

5/24/2010 5:56:11 PM

now all of the groups or things that you "like", which become part of the info section, can view your profile

you can change the settings of course, but default is they have full access

5/24/2010 5:59:36 PM

any any status updates that facebook deems to be related to one of your 'groups' gets blasted on that group's front page as well

facebook prompted me, and i said to hell with that and pretty much got rid of every single thing in my profile, i don't give a damn

5/24/2010 6:09:42 PM

You're so tuff. You really showed him.

5/24/2010 6:17:23 PM

I didn't even get a warning before it deleted my stuff!

5/24/2010 6:49:47 PM

the bio section is still plaintext. i used that instead of linking

5/24/2010 7:01:23 PM

what were the first straws?

5/24/2010 7:20:18 PM

^good idea.

5/24/2010 7:20:20 PM

None of your shit was ever really private. Even if you deactivate your account, all your shit is still cached so you're all fucked.

5/24/2010 7:33:48 PM

good thing all those fields are blank on my profile anyway

5/24/2010 7:40:50 PM

what's the deal with diaspora? isn't it supposed to be like the anti-facebook or something?

5/24/2010 7:52:49 PM

Yeah, I didn't get a warning either. One day facebook said "hi we're redoing everything, and your profile is now completely erased. have fun!"

5/24/2010 8:08:50 PM

ha i didnt realize all my likes and interests were gone

oh well
