Yeah, but if I'm really concerned about it I can always message them to make sure.

Troof. And after awhile you can weed out the "LOOK AT ALL THE COOL PLACES I HANG!"* people anyway.

It's like a concentrated and minimized version of real-life social interactions, translated into Internetese, without any of the fun of being with people.

So are phone calls.

Authenticity is so 90s.  8)

'Course. I have no illusions that socializing was/is any more authentic without Facebook*. Just whining about things I've noticed about it.

*It's just the next step of telecommunication. So...I guess it were the damn smoke signals that started it all! :argh!:

Authenticity is bullshit anyway.  It is the enemy of Slack™, and the first step to hipsterist damnation.

I was into being authentic before it was big and popular.  Now I'm all about ironic insincerity.

I just go there for Farmville. 

I let Enabler use my account to cheat at farmville.

This has the added advantage of me getting dozens of angry/disbelieving messages, when she sends out invites.
