Facebook Etiquette

Jordan2 · ‎03-16-2010

Maybe I'm just too sensitive but I was wondering how others feel about this. When I post something to a friend or relative's Facebook page (something I think they would like or find interesting) is it too much to expect a response? It doesn't even have to be a comment, even a like would be nice. I feel like what I have to say is of no value. I always say I won't post to their page again, but I do. I guess I'll never learn.

It may depend on how often you post something, @Jordan2.

I find it very annoying and rude when people text me and think I'm supposed to respond that day. I don't live with my phone.

Maybe they are like me and don't look at Facebook very often, or are busy and can't respond to everything. If that is the case, maybe you are expecting that everyone has Facebook as a priority in their life,which may not be the case.

I think "facebook etiquette" is an oxymoron.

@tansy, I don't think I do it that often. This is usually my sister and her adult children, I'll give information, video clips, things of that nature. I am Facebook friends with a friend of my sister's and she's nicer to me then my own blood is!

not everyone is on facebook daily.

not everyone has the time to check on everything that may be posted to their page.

not everyone may LIKE what you post to their page.

i have found that if someone posts something to my page and i dont like it, i do not respond or i may even delete it. believe me, it has happened a number of times, especially in this past year and a half or so.

@sunshine45, my nieces and nephew live on social media, I am sure they check their Facebook page often. I don't always agree with something someone posts on my page, but I feel that by liking it, I let them know I have read it.

I didn't realize belonging to facebook entailed daily maintenance. Guess it's a good thing I don't have an account, I would hate to be considered impolite.

Maybe your friend has a whole lot of time that your sister with kids doesn't have. I simply wouldn't post much at all if you expect someone to have time for everything that pops up. In today's world, that's a big chunk of time that many people simply don't have.

I also wouldn't be hurt if they don't respond. You post it for them to enjoy, and not just to get a response, so just let it go at that and assume they saw it.
