Wait... you guys have friends?

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

I would friend you, but I wouldn't want to have to choose between posting stuff that you can't understand and stuff that my mom can't understand.

I don't have anyone from F.DS on my Facebook.

Including Joseph2302, and I intend to keep it that way (he's actually on my block list)

My sisters managed to convince me to join when I was 13. I've been regretting it for years, but quitting now wouldn't be of much help.

It's irritating being friends with someone who doesn't have a facebook account or whatsapp. Organizing anything for them or including them in activities becomes so much more tedious when some people choose to opt out of avenues of contacting groups of people with one shot.

How is it strange? It's just another way of communicating. That's like saying texting or calling is strange.

There's nothing inherently strange about email, it's just strange because it's unusual and unexpected. Kind of like how it'd be strange if my boss texted me about a new company policy rather than emailing. It's just about different expected communication channels for different contexts. I'm completely used to sending and receiving emails in a professional (or when I was a student, academic) context, but outside of that and a dozen assorted websites who email me from time to time, it's not the norm for me.

I almost never used email to communicate with friends while I was in college. I use it a bit more now, but I definitely agree with Dsell -- I would be a little taken aback if a friend send me an email rather than a facebook message. Not that it's a bad thing to use email, it's just not what anyone I know used.

This is true for me as well. So much so that I actually check my mail like twice a month these days - there's just never anything urgent in there. I communicate with friends via f.ds pm's much more often than with email.

Say I wake up at 10, notice it's a rare sunny day outside and think to myself "man, it would be fun to go play sports with friends". In the age of whatsapp and facebook, I just make a quick post declaring this in our "summer sports" whatsapp group, all 20 of my potentially interested friends see it instantly and respond whether they can make it or not, and if 8 or more can, we probably go and play before noon, which almost always is the case. Same goes for viewing parties for World Cup (trying to find a bar where a group bigger than five can fit is often cumbersome and requires some coordination), or organizing a house party, or really any number of more or less time-sensitive events where you invite more than a couple of people. It's just really inefficient to call everyone separately to ask if they want to come, and then call them back every time the plan changes even slightly.

whatsapp is just an improved version of text messaging really. it's free (almost everyone has a data plan on their phone these days) and allows creating groups and messaging multiple people at once.

i understand not wanting to use facebook's main functions, but it's quite handy for organizing events for example. I have a couple of friends who are there under a pseudonym only to receive invites/to partake in planning things.

There's definitely a trend with people I know using facebook's core functionality much less than we used to. While I still use it for event organizing, pictures, and occasionally chat, I barely write on anyone's wall anymore -- everyone I know uses their wall much less than when facebook was getting started. This is resulting in less social media use overall, rather than a shift to a different medium -- people I know use facebook/social media significantly less than we did 1-2 years ago. Funnily enough, this coincided with everyone's parents getting on facebook.

Most of my friends aren't on f.ds.   :'(

But continuing the off-topic conversation that has nothing to do with anyone getting engaged:  I use facebook almost exclusively to communicate events and group messages to certain groups of friends.  I don't even know most of my friend's email addresses, but sending them a quick PM on facebook is extremely convenient.  I only have 5 actual "status updates" this year.  And I don't do facebook games.  Dominion is enough for me.  (and I have been dabbling with Hearthstone a bit recently)

The main reason I have a Facebook is because its much easier to stay connected with people. Instead of trying to collect everyone's phone number, I can just friend them on Facebook and send them a message. It also makes it much easier to organize things (though ironically, most of my closer friends don't even have an account).

I used to update my status every week or so, but I now I only post pictures of memorable events or the occasional one-liner. I think my reduced posting has to do with the increase of my time spent on f.ds. Which is a good thing, I think. Being a part of a community like this is much more enjoyable than aimisly scrolling down my newsfeed.
