Social Media Etiquette
So... Do you?
Lately a few things have pissed me this whole social media craze. Well more than a few things. And rather than have a 10 tweet rant about it on Twitter (since that pisses me off too) or air my feelings out on my Facebook status like a 13 yr. old school girl, I figure I’d just write about it here on Three Ways. Let’s get into it.
Let Me Poke Your FaceBook
I poke you, you poke me, I poke you, you poke me… it’s like masturbation without the reward. Actually I might was well masturbate because that will get me where I want quicker. At some point we need to break the cycle and just cue the Kid Cudi.
Sidenote -- At no point is it ever cool to poke another heterosexual male on Facebook. It’s in the Man Laws.
Twitter Following
It’s only right to follow back. I know I’m guilty of not following back sometimes, but that’s because of my name. Do you know how many requests I get from people who live in the state of Washington? Eff that, from the Pacific Northwest in general? Sometimes I have a hard time deciphering who’s a fan of me and who’s just a fan of the Evergreen State. I bet some of the readers who are here now thought I was actually from there. My bad for the #swindle (cc: @Streetztalk), but I’m just another Black guy named after a city. Shout out to my man Cleveland Brown.
#FollowFriday
Why the eff would you RT when someone puts you in their #FollowFriday list? You do realize that the people who are going to see are already following you. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? Oh I get it, you’re just vain as hell and you want people to know that you’re kind of a big deal on Twitter. …It’s Twitter though fam.
Retweets
Put your response before the RT. Otherwise people will think it’s the same damn message. I want to get mad, but I can’t before it’s official so that is all until further notice. You’ve now been warned.
Yes, We’re in the Same Frat…
But, I don’t know you fam. I’ve never visited your chapter and I don’t plan on going to Arkansas -- Pine Bluff any time soon either. So… Why are you friending me?! What are we going to do? Exchange virtual grips? Charge each other up over Facebook Messenger? Oh I know, you just want to send me party invites every cot damn weekend. GTFOH. Wait, good luck with the party though Blue. MAB! “My right leg is my weak leg and my left is weak too, but my third leg…”
Speaking of That…
Undergrads and out of state people, check your cot damn party lists. After I declined the first 50 times, I thought you’d get the hint. I guess not so here we go -- I don’t live anywhere near you. If the party isn’t within a 30 minute radius or in NYC, do not send me a party invite every other week. I don’t care that you’re doing big things, popping bottles or that it’s for the Grown & Sexy. And for the record -- anyone who refers to themselves as Grown & Sexy needs to catch a face palm.
140 Characters
Honestly b, if you use one of those tweet extend sites I’m not clicking on it. No one really cares about what you have to say that much. <— You see how easily you can get a point across in 140 characters?
Just a few pet peeves that would’ve been too long for a Eff Em, but I’m sure you have plenty more. What pisses you off about this new world of social media? What makes you want to throw the computer like Owen Wilson in “Zoolander”?

RSS & Twitter
-
Yep, I sure did think you were from Seattle… at first. If I ever get around to using my Twitter account and try to follow you, I expect you to follow me back (not that i’d ever share anything that intersting) , don’t mistake me for just another person from Washington. I’d be offended if you didn’t.
Thanks for the reminder link to the donation site, I meant to hop on there the other day and got busy.
Oh, for the topic, I’m horrible at keeping my Facebook updated and I don’t want to share the actually interesting parts of my life with a bunch of people from high school and other randoms. So, it irritates me that I feel pressured to be entertaining to these people. Oh, and the men from the other side of the country that randomly hit you up with some cut & paste message they send to every female and exes tryin to be friends to see what you’re doing are two other issues.

I hate getting those damn quizzes on facebook. I don’t care what my eye color means or how unique my name is.I wish some of my friends would stop posting that ish on my page.
Another thing I hate fb is that reconnect with someone. If I haven’t talked with them in a while chances are I don’t like them that much. Please quit.

This is so silly because just recently, FB suggested that I reconnect with my SISTER. My sister who I am super close with (and share a blog with). Who I had JUST seen the day before. I had to tell her about it because FB is actin’ like they forgot that folks DO still interact in real life. #blasphemy

Almost everyone FB suggests I reconnect with are people I speak to all the time… or it’s people I don’t actually know who got in before I started being selective about who I accepted.
I used to say, you can make a good guess at who an individual on FB is really close with “in real life” because those are the folks who rarely post on their wall.

The misuse of RT on twitter is so irritating… why Retweet it when someone says good morning to u or directs a tweet for u only. thats the reason twitter removed the feature that allowed us see tweets from non-followers on our timeline….

i REFUSE to get on twitter….i just don’t really want to share anything w/ random strangers aside from my comments on this lovely site
I am addicted to my FB though and I love it for allowing me to get close to people I want to be closer with but wouldn’t w/o FB but i HATE the people you may know thing. I have seen these same people on FB since day one, I don’t care how many mutual friends we have they aren’t my friend nor will they ever be! I also can’t stand the applications that try to trick you into adding them to your profile. For example someone has a picture of the day, I want to see the picture but can’t without adding the app. how lame? and i hate that when i do decide to use some app on my page i am expected/forced/hoodwinked to invite others and bla bla bla. but other than that i love FB LOL

My #1 beef on Twitter is people who RT someone paying them a compliment. Promoters are nasty with this. Every Saturday night my timeline gets filled up with promoters RT’ing other people saying how dope the party is. But everyone’s at the party tweeting so how good can it really be?
I also hate trending topics. I actually got in a twitterfight with someone last week because he was killing the I heart thing. It’s silly but it was driving me apesh*t.
On Facebook I cannot stand when people put their personal business in their status updates. The other day I saw “So and so wants to know why her man’s babymother is such a retarded piece a sh*t. He doesn’t want you anymore so get a f*cking life”.
REALLY?!?
My new policy is zero tolerance. The first time you annoy me you get deleted. That is the beauty of social media….it’s so much easier to get rid of these people. In real life they never seem to go away.

I especially cannot stand people that feel the need to boast and brag to everyone on Facebook about how drunk or high they are.

The @reply thing annoys me. I don’t like putting my response before the RT because it’s silly (read: dumb) to read the answer or response before you know what the question or statement is. Do I answer your question before you ask it? I’m in the minority on this, so imagine my annoyance on the daily with most people on twitter. Some standard conversational rules/norms don’t need to be altered just because we’re on the internet.

I’m with you on this one, too. When I first started learning how to RT ish and reply, I looked at the standard way of doing it with a huge o_O. I mean, I adapted because I’m adaptable, but it’s still stilly. It’s backwards as hell. I feel like I’m dyslexic or something when I write that way.

One of my pet peeves is people posting inappropriate things on my FB page or tagging me in inappropriate posts so that it shows up in my newsfeed. No, it’s not appropriate to post a video of your favorite s*xual position and tag me in it (true story). I guess for people who don’t have good jobs or are never planning on having a decent job, it doesn’t matter, but I do not want to be associated with that foolishness.
The party promoters on FB get me too. I have even deleted a few people who I actually know for flooding my inbox with invites to parties. I don’t have time for that nonsense.
I don’t have a twitter page. I don’t think anyone cares to know about what I’m thinking that frequently. Besides, most times I’m thinking about stuff that probably shouldn’t be public information. : )

I can’t EFFIN WAIT for the day none of my FB friends are in undergrad. I’m so sick of the invites to parties I’m not coming to. People who are party promoters/stay having a party to invite you to really need to make use of Facebook’s groups thing. I know if you have 50-11 friends, it’s a daunting task to sort them all, but if you can’t sort us QUIT INVITING US. Lawd Jeebus — oh and the messages that go out to invite groups of stuff I haven’t declined yet? Yeah, fb needs to quit that, too.
And stop hitting me with pillows, quit suggesting I become a fan of something or friends with someone (seriously, if I’m not friends with them by now, there’s a reason — like my ex’s brother suggesting I beocme friends with his new boo… O_o) and for GOD’S SAKE, I DON’T WANT YOUR GIFTS, ANIMALS, HUGS OR KISSES!

Yeah, that ish didn’t stop for me after college since my cousin (by marriage) is a promotor, and so is one of my friends. Which, ain’t that hard to be associated with one in some way because everyone and their first cousin twice removed is a promotor these days…lol. One thing that irks me is when one promotor swipes the fans from someone ELSE’S page and friend requests them so they can send them pluggers. Yeah, I know, it’s kinda good marketing but I don’t wanna come to your “All Coogie Attire Grown & Sexy Bash” or “We Gettin’ It In On February 29th!!” BS or anything like that.

I kinda hate that we even have to complain about social media sites. I miss the days of simpler social media and keep-in-touch mediums: instant messaging, email and the basics of FB.

There are definitely a lot of things about social media that annoy me. However, I think I gotta be on the other side of the fence a bit. Then again, that’s because I leverage all of this social media to help grow the site and the readership more than anything else. I don’t do much on Facebook and my tweet game has fallen off a bit just because I’ve been busy with stuff.

I broke up with FB a while ago. But, we still hookup occasionally. I hate that my younger sister checks her FB more than her email account, and has the audacity to tell me I can reach her better at FB. To that I say, grow up and use your grown woman email account!! And the party invites have to stop. One of my friends from HS is an Alpha, and he invites me to every darn party they have. No, I am not coming to Columbia, SC to the “Gorilla Thriller” on the campus of USC, or the “Cold as Ice” all white party at the convention center.
I once had a month long FB poke fest with this dude I met in law school at the Midwest BLSA convention. smh… I still get the occasional poke from guys I met at BLSA conventions.

good post. I always thought fb poking was like flirting. lol.

LOL at the #FF retweets–I do think thats kinda dumb, and like Max said- I ABHOR when ppl only retweet when someone compliments them. I’ve totally unfollowed folks for that.

I knew that I couldn’t be the only person that thought a person RTing themselves in someone else’s #FF list was vain! That mess annoyed the heck out of me. Plus the fact that strangers think they actually know you from your tweets and feel obligated to offer unwarranted advice. I was a tweeter for a brief moment in time (during a moment of temporary insanity). I deleted that mess. I never got into Facebook either. Social media isn’t for everyone.

I also hate when women who claim they are grown getting in e-beefs over FB. Trick, that ain’t classy. (Take the cl- off of the beginning of the word and you’d be more accurate). Talmbout, “I SWEAH FO LAWD if DIS BIOTCH-HO LUK AT MEE DA WRONG WAY 1 MO TIME, i wILL CATCH A CASE! PRAISE HIM IM TOO GROWN AND S3XXY FO DIS SHYT IMMA JUS GO GET MY HAIR DID”. SMDH. Make like a sign and STOP. Just uncouth as hell.
Anyhow, I’m gonna be all etiquette-like and shamlessly throw out my Brand New (no Rhymefest) Twitter acct. I follow a lot of yall through @sistersoundoff ( formy sister and I’s blog that we treat like a stepchild) but I decided to get my own acct so I can spew forth my ignance without tarnishing the sisterly acct. So, it’s @pinchmycheekie if ya wanna follow. Later this evening I’m gonna follow everyone from the @sistersoundoff friend list, but if you can send me a follow that’ll be great. Love ya ThreeWay fam!

I know you said you don’t check it anyway, but you can change that in your settings…what you get email notifications for and what you don’t, and whatnot.

Also, please don’t leave snarky comments in response to my status! For example, I’m excited about health care reform and you have to make snarky comments about how you can’t wait until Jehovah brings about real health care reform, not the hyper-politicized kind we got last week. (True story!) GOH! Things like this will get you UN-friended!
