If You Don't Have a Healthy Facebook Presence
Are you a real person?My best guess is that you might just be a figment of somebody's imagination.

No more posting, then.
You don't exist.
Sorry.

I don't have a Facebook presence either, though that might be a little hard to prove. If you look up "Michael McMillan" on Google, you'll find a Facebook presence, a Linkdin presence, probably a presence in all sorts of social media. It ain't me.

What's this facebook thing you keep mentioning

In your case the following would be much more appropriate.

Facebook healthy ?, Hmmmmm.
Surely it is much more beneficial to have a healthy real life presence than a silly virtual on-line Faceslap.com one, With thousands of so called friends that one doesn't even know, Let alone ever met.

That's an interesting observation, and one related to a thread I've been thinking about.
My only online contacts to speak of are through D&D. Oddly, given the way my life has gone, some of those contacts are at least as substantial as my "real-life" contacts.
My old friends and acquaintances are dispersed but I'm in almost daily contact with my online acquaintances. Perhaps the "texture" isn't there, but it grows over time.

I keep a relatively short "friends" list even here, and it occurs to me it's time to do some trimming. Some are old, and I'm not at all sure they're active.
Every now and then I get a request, and after a short time it becomes apparent that the person is just collecting a large number of "friends", though there doesn't seem to be any reason for it. No blog, no forum posts, very little if anything on the "about" page and almost no visitors. On one, I was the only visitor for weeks on end. Needless to say there's not much of a reason for me to "friend" people like that.
Is Facebook like that? Hordes of "Friend whores", but when you try to find out who these people are there's nobody home? Who needs "friends" like that?

I wish I didn't have Facebook, but it's the only way to do certain things of relative importance to me. I don't really put anything on it though, so in effect that's about the same.

One of my friends at work is on Facebook. I looked her up once, took one look at it and said "No thanks." (Okay, I wasn't that polite, but we're a family-friendly forum here.) Given the frequent articles I see since on Facebook (lack of) security/privacy, that is not going to change.

I'm there, too. I don't even remember how and why it happened, and I visit the site almost never. Remarkably, a plethora of relatives are there, so if I wanted an easy way to communicate, it would be helpful.

You're safe. So is everybody else presently on the "friends" list. Looking for recent activity, seems everybody on the list has been active within the past year so no trimming was done.

OK, so now I'm a suspicious character and quite possibly a mass murderer, on top of everything else-- because I don't have a Facebook account.
I may be hiding something, maybe I de-activated the account because of too many red flags. who knows what your conspiracy-laden mind can come up with. Though there IS an article that says older people like me just might get by with it because we old folk aren't supposed to know much more than how to turn a computer on and maybe use E-mail.
Here in Illinois, a law was just passed that forbids prospective employers from demanding your Facebook username and password as a condition of employment, there's only one other state that has such a law. For the rest of you--- you're on your own. Don't have a Facebook account? Red flag, you may have de-activated it to hide stuff from your prospective employer. I'm not kidding.
MWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
