Is Facebook irrevocable? [View all]

I've never signed up for it, but have been invited to a group. I understand you can set your profile to private but I'm skeptical. I read no one out side the group can see you, but group users can, as well as new group members. If I leave Facebook will it follow me around like Google everywhere? Can you use an a blocker on Facebook like AdBlock? Silly question.

Do people use aliases on Facebook? On meetup you can.

Is Facebook as bad as LinkedIn where they pummel you with blather all day and nothing is relevant? I get a message, I reply, it never seems to register with the other user, I get more notices of the message, I'm asked to send a canned reply.

The only thing that works really well on line is DU!!

X is officially hollowed out. So few profiles I recognize. Big people left for Threads. eBay has launched eBay Refurbished - tech from eBay-authorized sellers who refurbish things. With an All-State warranty free. Don't need to tell you how that will destroy little people. Sorry for the ramble, just a couple examples of how online is not working for ordinary folks nowadays.
