I was merely observing that some of us don't have access to the full compliment of Facebook options while at work, which renders us unable to employ the "Groups" function. Ergo, our only recourse is PD.com.

Yes, and when I start back at school next week, I will be in the same boat, I believe.
I just don't want to be spread that thin. Concentration is tough enough as it is.
I'm not leaving PD.
I'm gonna poomp a bit more until facebook kicks me, but I'm not going to a Discordian facebook group. For one thing, it would be redundant.
I don't facefuck often enough for it to be an issue. Oh and the work thing.
But I don't mind the facefuck GROUP as it is another manifestation of the same thing. It's interesting to listen to everyone's comments, just like it's interesting here.

I'm not leaving this joint. The FB option is amusing, but too disorganized.
Wait, theres a purpose for Facebook other than snooping and being creepy? :eek:
So many years lost!
I didn't realize the FB group was intended as an alternative.
I haven't really used it much yet. But if I do, it'd be to get a hold of other discordians.

Yeah, me neither. I've been on FB for years and am a member of a few groups. I don't see why that one would replace the forum, as the format is completely different. As far as I can tell it's just a good way to mingle with some spags who don't PD.
If the FB group bugs you, leave it.
FB is mostly useful for trolling and finding out who's having parties.
I did.

Shit...just like PD. Well, I sorta got over that with PD (if you all haven't noticed by now), but with FB, it's still all old people and blue hairs I know out in IRL. And colleagues. Oh, that's a mistake--putting your COLLEAGUES on there.
Did I hide them when I joined Cram's and Rog's groups? Hell naw. I sold them the "embrace the chaos before it consumes you" first. They get dibs. :lulz: Lucky fuckers.

Oh it's fucking charming. Not only can people add you to groups without your consent, but you automatically get emails every time anyone posts to the group, and it looks like most people can't turn those emails off.
:lulz:
This makes for a brilliant tool for pissing everyone on Facebook off: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_180443158654014
Add everyone you know to it! I've already alienated a fair number of friends.
Since my only friends on there are PD spags, I decided against just adding people. I kinda like some of you. :lulz:
ETA: Also, most of them are already in the group.
I love it I love it I love it OH GOD MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO KILL ME :lulz:
Isn't it GREAT? I am highly amused and surprised by which of my friends are delighted by it and which hate it and unfriended me. :lulz:
I'm really hoping some people unfriend me. Many of them are ridiculous fans of my mom whom she suggested to me and I accepted en masse long ago.
Oh, totally! I've been friending bead ladies left and right because I was afraid to alienate them, but I kinda don't care so much right now. Either they recognize the genius or they GTFO.
Any techspags know how to add all your friends at once, or are the mass-adds being done manually? I can add everyone to a group/page, but it's a different menu for these groups.
I did it "by hand". ROUGHIN' IT!
Yeah, you can only do it by hand.

Great way to filter out your uncool friends without having to manually consider them and unfriend them :D :D
(although I dunno, even if someone signed me up for a group I'd agree with or enjoy, I still would be pissed off if it suddenly turned out to have swamped my email inbox) (actually, no I wouldn't because I'd probably already filtered all facebook emails into a separate folder, mark them read and skip my inbox altogether)
Since a few people have suspected me of trying to split PD or kill IRC or something, I just want to be clear about my motivation in starting the DS2011 FB group -- it has nothing to do with PD. In fact, most of the people in it are not PD members. Of the first 80 people I added, It was about 40% PD, 40% random Discordians I know from the net (writers, bloggers, pranksters, etc), 20% people I know in meatspace. I wanted to see what happened if I plugged them all into the same communication node.
My hopes aren't too lofty - from what I can tell, these FB groups are basically noise generators. The medium encourages short, pithy communications, not in depth discussions. If something emerges from the disorder, that'll be cool, but I'm not holding my breath.
One thing I thought was pretty cool: There's a dude who wanted to print a version of the PD on lulu press. He realized that to do a hardcover, he needs another 20 pages of material... so rather than inserting Kerry or RAW's intro piece, he's taking submission for new stuff to put in there. That's bad ass!
But no, I don't think the discordian society 2011 facebook group is a replacement for this community -- nor do I think we should hold back from generating new types of Discordian Societies in order to protect this one.
I already can't tell the difference between the Facebook discordians and the Myspace Discordians.
LOL CALENDAR! I ARE TEH STONER!

You misspelled "noise generators and sources of endless bitching, mindless bawww-ing, and voluminous references to how people are too cool for FB and anyway the group is just useless bullshit that any real discordian would never use and fuck you Cramulus"
I expect a full retraction.

I agree with this comment, especially the quoted bit.
FB groups are noise generators and sources of endless bitching, mindless bawww-ing, and voluminous references to how people are too cool for FB and anyway the group is just useless bullshit that any real discordian would never use and fuck you Cramulus. I think most of them are like that. Rog and Lys and I were trolling in another group called Transhuman Separatists, and it seemed much the same as the DS2011. (edit: actually they were bigger douchebags because their group comes with more serious ideological baggage)
you are also seeing trolls trolling trolls - to varying degrees of success.
as for the myspace discordians -- well, they were led by Yatto. :p
During the Party at Limbo Peak, Yatto submitted literally 44 pages of text, a straight copy and paste from his myspace group. Of that, this (http://principiadiscordia.com/cramulus/index.php?title=Myspace_Monkeys) was the only material that was relatively coherent. I think our signal to noise ratio is a little bit higher than that, but that's not really the point anyway.
What is the point?
Another part of it goes back to my first reading of the Principia at age 16. I desperately wanted to know if there really was a Discordian Society, or it was just this shit they wrote about as a joke in the 1960s. And I pledged that if none existed, I'd just act like there was a real Discordian Society until it became true.
So here we are! I hope nobody was expecting that everybody would be, like, characters from Illuminatus or something. :lol:
Yeah. I think it's a good thing, or at least a fun thing. And has led to some actual good things, like the hardcover PD that guy is doing.
Just (already!) tired of the relentless negativity, even after the whopping 2 days I've been in it.

Hey Cram. That's not what I was doing. I simply wanted to know if it had a purpose and if it did what it was. The noise from it was like a bell ringing non-stop in my ear. After I did not receive an answer I simply left the group.
I only have one functioning nerve left and some ass spag from another place was already standing on it.
This was not personal.

you make a good point. There seem to be a few different ways to use the group:
1. trolling other discordians
2. posting stuff other discordians might want to read or see
3. gnashing (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=28018.msg993842#msg993842) about how the group is not what you want it to be or how the people in it are the wrong type of Discordians
right now there's a lot of people doing #1 and #3!
though honestly, not that different from the drama cycle present at this board. Meh!

Likewise.
In the interests of fairness, I owe (1) Horror tm to both Cram and Roger for their new groups, and the resulting email cheesy buildup in my email inbox. In the few mintues I give Facebook daily, these are good for a chuckle, but I see them more as augmenting and drawing a different sort of crowd into the fold.
Those who by nature or mood want bite sized 4chan style blurbs, comment flame wars, and lack the attention span or coherence for longer posts will be happy there. Prime meme - bomb breeding ground. Free fire Pun zone.
Longer back and forth disucssions, writing, Intermittens assembly, etc, you can't replace this joint. If anything I see it giving an outlet the silly one-off comments that are off and on bitched about.
The group moves too fast, it's driving me crazy and I can't keep up with it. I basically turned off all the notifications from it and check in to take a peek now and again.

That's pretty much how I treat Facebook in general.
The biggest problem I see with it is that none of the people who aren't already on PD.com seem to be worth a good goddamn. And no, I'm not interested in taking them by the hand and showing them the way. I expect my noobs to be already charged with a full compliment of piss, vinegar, and lulz, and this group has so far done nothing but disappoint.
As I was saying to Cram earlier, it often really does appear that PD.com is the Outlier among Outliers.

If you're disappointed, I wonder what you were expecting?
Even cool people, when dumped into a medium where everybody is gnashing and is only posting short pithy messages, sound like turds. This is not because those people are turds, it's because they're communicating over a stupid medium. I mean, it's not like the PD.com people in the facebook group are acting awesome either (with a few exceptions).
I'm trying to view it pragmatically:
I'm
not let down that the group isn't instantly posting absurdist shakespeare. I'm actually pretty excited that 50+ self-identified Discordians who are NOT PD forumites are now exposed to stuff like the Et Cetera, the Apple Talk Dialogues, Intermittens, & Postergasm. It's a fresh audience.
It's Facebook.
I don't see what the issue is.
I, for one, view them as camouflage. They're all noise and no signal, and they make Discordianism look fucking ridiculous, like a pack of autistic kids playing house.
This is a GOOD thing for those of us who are up to no good, as it makes us look harmless. It also produces a very large pool of scapegoats.
I will be leaving the group tonight, though, for two reasons.
1. I can't get rid of the chat window, and
2. Even with my settings changed, I'm getting a couple of hundred emails a day, linking me to silly shit.
I'll just stay here and write "absurdist Shakespeare".
But for the love of "Bob", PLEASE don't invite them here. I invited one guy, before I realized what an idiot he is. Just leave them out on Facebook, where they accomplish their purpose.

Two things.
1. If you just sign out of the chat altogether, it goes away.
2. I have no idea did you uncheck the box next to your email address in the group settings?
Not that I care if you stay with those fuckers or not, I have deemed them not even worth trolling.

The biggest problem I see with it is that none of the people who aren't already on PD.com seem to be worth a good goddamn. And no, I'm not interested in taking them by the hand and showing them the way. I expect my noobs to be already charged with a full compliment of piss, vinegar, and lulz, and this group has so far done nothing but disappoint.

Quote from: Cramulus on January 14, 2011, 02:50:50 PM
Since a few people have suspected me of trying to split PD or kill IRC or something, I just want to be clear about my motivation in starting the DS2011 FB group -- it has nothing to do with PD. In fact, most of the people in it are not PD members. Of the first 80 people I added, It was about 40% PD, 40% random Discordians I know from the net (writers, bloggers, pranksters, etc), 20% people I know in meatspace. I wanted to see what happened if I plugged them all into the same communication node.
My hopes aren't too lofty - from what I can tell, these FB groups are basically noise generators. The medium encourages short, pithy communications, not in depth discussions. If something emerges from the disorder, that'll be cool, but I'm not holding my breath.
One thing I thought was pretty cool: There's a dude who wanted to print a version of the PD on lulu press. He realized that to do a hardcover, he needs another 20 pages of material... so rather than inserting Kerry or RAW's intro piece, he's taking submission for new stuff to put in there. That's bad ass!
But no, I don't think the discordian society 2011 facebook group is a replacement for this community -- nor do I think we should hold back from generating new types of Discordian Societies in order to protect this one.
Yeah, that was mad cool. I sent him four things he could use or not. It's cool for me cos i try to circulate my shit a lot and feel a lot better about spamming up FB than you guys.

Got an angry wall post from a close friend for adding her :lulz:

THIS IDEA IS DOKTOR APPROVED!
All "who the hell is this?" requests are being met with very serious "I trust you enough to admin this group" replies.
Most of them seem honoured and no longer need to make sure that they know who I am.
:lulz: :mittens:
Apparently I'm so skilled an infiltrator to the group I decided to mass-add, that now I don't have to do anything because they're adding me instead. 30+ mutual friends = no questions asked.
Also, I'm surprised that the combination of enraged "LET ME OUT OF THIS GROUP" members and admin powers for all hasn't resulted in Facebook terrorists mass-banning our members. It'll happen, though.

Sure, it'll happen eventually. But Facebook users aren't all as internet-savvy as we are, so most of them might not even realize what powers they have.
Awesome to see that people angry to be in the group suddenly are okay with it when they get the ego boost of being promoted to admin! :lulz:

This is what I was talking about, obviously. Just clarifying.
In a completely fucking unexpected twist, Greg claims to have no idea what happened or why he's the only admin, but he's adding people like crazy and his friends are adding people. WUT
I have no idea what's going on, but it's fucking weird as hell and that makes me happy. :)
As far as I can tell, too, there is no way for anyone except for Facebook's people to have un-adminned Lies, so either they fucked up or this is some kind of subterfuge. EITHER WAY I DON'T REALLY CARE MAYHEM RARRRRRR!!!!!!
Oh, this is too good. Ha! I have no idea what is going on! :lulz:
ORRRRRR He's just a FB shill trying to keep our energies focused on a group that's already under control because we can't make everyone admin...
Which is why there is another group. ALSO. I think we broke FB. :lulz:
GREG DANIELS IS...
Co-Founder of http://www.OneWebsitePlease.com/ a start-up website that is in the business of designing websites for free.
Greg Daniels likes long walks on the beach, championship bear wrestling and the cheese left over on the wax paper at burger joints.
Greg Daniels likes most vegetables with the exception of squash and mushrooms.
Greg Daniels is also a producer for the US version of The Office and King of the Hill and a new show called Parks and Recreations.
After reviewing the cornucopia of emails regarding this group, Greg Daniels decided to spend about 2 hours this morning removing over 2500 admins from this group that Greg Daniels was forced to join over the weekend.
Greg Daniels is keeping the group.
Greg Daniels is from Pennsylvania, California, Florida, the U.K., Missouri, Mississippi, and Lousiana and has 8 professions.
Greg Daniels acknowledges that Frank 'Felix' Salomon was the original owner creator of this group and responsible for all of the emails from this group.
There still exists an email address which will forward all emails to every single member of the 3200+ member group.

At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of the Farmville Mod Development Team.-every member of them.
That is the will of Eris and The People. The Trolls and the Trolled, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of internets and many old and famous groups have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Greg Daniels and all the odious apparatus of OneWebsitePlease.com rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight on Facebook, we shall fight on the forums and chatrooms, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in your inbox, we shall defend our annoying group, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on your wall, we shall fight on the comments in your photo albums, we shall fight in the "people in this photograph" and in our tweets, we shall fight in the apps; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this group or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the Facebook, armed and guarded by obscurity and terrible smells, would carry on the struggle, until, in Goddess' good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

This shall be part of a twofold assault. One, to add this email address to every mailing list on the planet in order to encourage people to abandon that group. Two, two drop ourselves from that group and diminish its numbers. Three, to spread the Holy Word of the new group and continue adminning every member.
Greg Daniels was a FB shill, and we must be alert for other FB shills for the purposes of mockery and general denigration, but we cannot allow that to hold us back from adminning EACH AND EVERY NEW MEMBER OF THE GROUP. For in equal administration lies equal power; the power to make everyone else an admin.
Whatever...........
Apply to join when the group opens, it spends about thirty seconds of every minute open.
Thanks. :)
This is the first time I've liked FB in a long time.

Works for me. Good new title.
It has had many good titles.
I am finding it startlingly easy to make friends with large numbers of total strangers on Facebook. I mean, starting from total cold scratch and choosing people from the "You might know" selection. Wow.
Just a heads up, I think we should be careful with using any words in the title that might trigger the group to legitimately get deleted for offensive content, such as "rape" or any of the FCC's banned words.

Just a heads up, I think we should be careful with using any words in the title that might trigger the group to legitimately get deleted for offensive content, such as "rape" or any of the FCC's banned words.
So I guess, "Society for the Appreciation of Janet Jackson's Breasts" is out of the question?

I wasn't. Arlo Guthrie coined the phrase father raper, and I only quote it in a Holy way.

Dude, you can turn it off. This whole thing is a protest against the involuntary add and stupid default settings, but you can at least turn off the notifications.

You have to go into Edit Settings and click the link to take you to your settings, and you can change it there so you don't receive notice when someone changes the name.
so many of my friends have blasted me with noise because of this shit
I didn't even add them! My buddy Stern added them, but somehow I'm being held accountable for getting him into trolling. :argh!:

The funny thing is that it isn't even trolling, if you start a group for one of your interests and want to add your friends. Since you can't invite them, you have to add them. It's just the way it's set up. It's a really bad move on Facebook's part. I think they think people will just get used to it, but unless they change the default email settings to not flood your inbox, people are going to keep getting pissed.
oh it's definitely trolling - it's not like you cats are accidentally blasting everybody you know with hundreds of e-mails or accidentally making people members of the FACEBOOK RAPE CLUB or whatever its called right now :p
Special request- Do not add me to a group unless I am on Facebook at the same time so I can change teh settings immediately. I still haven't cleaned out my email. It's going to be even worse now.

Yes, I know Charley. I'll rescind this request when I pare down the shit in my inbox :lulz:
3354 emails...
I know that's not all you guys but... :cracks knuckles:
Be back in an hour.
If your inbox was clean to start with, it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.
This is getting really old.
I was gone all weekend and came back to more groups and literally thousands of emails because I can't magically change my settings using astral projection.
Now I've had to stop accepting friend requests. I am only friends with people I know IRL and PD spags that I might as well know IRL. Now people are trying to friend me that have 10 of you as mutual friends but they don't even know what PD is. I don't want to be friends with them. And I have no way of knowing who's a legit spag and who's just some asstard that friends everyone they come across.
I mean, great job and all directing the world's attention to such a serious and pressing problem though.

Best reason I've had all year for ditching FB once Diaspora is up and running.
I managed to cull the Name Change Notifications (but they certainly buried that option).
1. Log in to FB
2. Click on Account > Account Settings
3. Click on the Notifications tab
4. Scroll down to Groups and Uncheck whatever you don't want
5. You're Welcome

You can stop emails and most notifications but you still get one when someone changes the name of the group, I can't find a way to turn it off. Facebook it stupid.
Um, so if the privacy settings in FB are failing, why don't you just filter all the stuff on your email's side? Most of my incoming emails are automatically sorted into folders and the social network stuff is even marked "read". Every email client and every webmail site can do this. If you got GMail it's a matter of clicking "filter messages like these" and selecting what it should do with emails whose sender addresses match "facebook.com". You can even tell it to trash them, if you don't want any Facebook emails ever at all (but then why give them your main email in the first place).

The first checkbox I have under the "Groups" heading is "Changes the name of one of your groups".
EDIT: OH, you mean the 'Notifications' that popup while logged into face book. Yeah, it doesn't change that, so your "Notification' page is still all spammed up.

I don't think it is, It not under notifications anyway, I have all email notifications off. Maybe if I hid the group from my newsfeed it would stop them, yeah that should do it.

When they changed groups they turned group notifications on.
Account>Account settings>Notifications
Scroll down to "groups". The first item listed under "groups" is "changes the name of one of your groups". Uncheck it.
Yes, that is off and has been off for some time, it only controls email. Not the facebook page notifications.

I'll start by saying I read your article but I didn't want to post this there for fear derailing the thread and turning it into another flame fest, losing the point of the article and focus of the thread utterly...
... in response to the quote...
I suppose, but I'm not the kinda guy who wants to blend in, be weird or even fuck with the machine. The machine fucks with itself. The machine will continue regardless of how it is fucked with(assuming your talking about the machine as proposed in some of the old threads).
Instead I take a more pragmattic view by asking: What is it that I want to achieve? How can I get there?
By taking responsibility for my existence and not blaming it on someone else, god or even the holy fucking machine (tm) I find I have more time to achieve what I set out to do.
And that's not advice, that's just what work for me.
I don't pretend to know what works for you, or anyone else, as I recognize that everyone is best qualified to find the solutions themselves and if they really want advice (from me or anyone) then they'll ask for it.
In this respect I post my thoughts and opinions not to say that what I think is right and everyone should follow my way, but to say it's what I think and hopefully meet a few people that jived with that.
Currently I'm reassessing how much effort I should bother with doing so because although I have yet to be rattled by anyone's remarks, I'm just starting to think is a bad investment of time to attempt to communicate here if people are going to close off from it and read what they want to versus what I'm posting.
(That's just how it looks to me, which seems supremely hippocritical. Not that I mind)
That's my pragmattic side speaking. I still hope eventually people will just lay off and accept me for who I say I am, trade some information, mutually inspire and have a few laughs, but if not, oh well, fuck it.
Take a minuete, breathe deep and realize I'm not here to attack anyone's bullshit that they wrap themselves in.
I mean that in the kindest possible way.
All I needed to know. :whack:
