I like ILX much more than I like Facebook, obv. I do wonder if I'm missing out on invitations to things, but then I remember that I rarely accept invitations to things anyway so it's cool.

I don't notice anything different so I guess I've just been using this one all along. I like it - it's so clean!

my ilx hasn't changed either, i had blueski2.css already though so that's what must have happened

old.css more like lame.css

I have accepted my forced conversion to the blue. I had enjoyed old.css. It just looked right when read through a geocities pop up window.

This. Also blueski2.css is the business, top move making it the default imo.

I like blueski. It more closely resembles one of my websites for work, so someone casually glancing at my screen is less likely to know that I'm not working.
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Saturday, 3 March 2012 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
What's up with everyone saying it's blue? I have a pretty white screen.Also, I am not on FB anymore. Haven't been in... two years? Or over. I can't remember when I deleted my account.
I like Scott. I like ILX. I like pretty much everything here. But I do miss some of the old folks. ;-(

Facebook put me back in touch with my oldest friend after six years when we lost touch. It has also, well, gotten me laid.ILX has done neither of those.

a friend from high school who reconnected w/me on FB after many many years recently sent me an out-of-the-blue message asking if i ever considered going to burning man.
"uh no." several WEEKS later he responds along the lines of "gee you don't want to construct an alternative society and camp out in the desert?" hahaha that's what we do on ILX

maybe i don't know your name! and apparently you don't know mine either! maybe you sent a request to scott steward. i'm friends with michael gira on facebook. he's always posting stuff on facebook. i never add anything to his posts. why bother.

not sure why the nu blue is default. i not only prefer the old css.oldstyle (or whatever it was) but think it the best just aesthetically... appealing/calming and complimentary color palette, clear differentiations between tabs, nice font

The most insidious thing about Facebook to me is how it got so many people relying on it as a primary source of communication and only then started in on this "follow most of Johnny Bluejeans' posts" bullshit. I feel like half the posts people make are shuttling directly into the void, unseen by many. But at least I still get Spotify updates and indications of people having read ghe Washington Post!

xxposts crut - change your settings so that only friends tag you & that you get notified when they do - then you can veto if you dont wanna b tagged
but i dont think you can untag anymore?

I think facebook has actually made me sad a lot of times and it's only just clicked that that's the case
― cardamon, Sunday, 2 February 2014 05:55 (ten years ago) link
i.e. the feeling is 'Ah, there goes Person X/Y/Z, progressively further and further away from me into the Void* ...', and that only arises from seeing many regular updates – if instead I was receiving rare letters I might instead get a feeling of 'Ah, long time no contact, how warm'. Perhaps.
*The Void = London/Magaluf/Sidney respectively

do y'all stay facebook friends with your exes? there's one in particular who i talk to on the phone nearly every week but who i'm not facebook friends with. hearing from her what she's up to feels really different than just having facebook send me unsolicited reminders via the newsfeed about how our lives have gone off in different directions.
