My Approach to Facebook in 2021

 

I am very glad that in 2020, Facebook has FINALLY started to enforce their Community Standards. They now have ZERO tolerance for vicious behaviors.  I am currently serving my 4th sentence in Facebook Jail.  This time I have a 30 day sentence which will be over January 8 2021.

I will not go back to Facebook Jail.  I will be cognizant of my emotions and be mindful of my posts, comments and replies from this point on.  No more profanity. No more harmful slurs. I'm smart.  I do not have to sit back and accept vicious attacks... I know how to articulate intelligently.

Let me add that as a female group Admin, I have been attacked horribly in other groups.  But, now that Facebook has a ZERO tolerance for vicious behaviors, I will report attacks so that the group can be shut down.  I never allow group Admins to be attacked in any of my groups.  Yes, Facebook has been shutting down groups big time in the later part of 2020.

I also now know how to manage all of my social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Facebook:

For Facebook, I lockdown my profile back in March.  I was taught how to do this effectively by a group of Facebook Group Admins.  It took one full week for me to accomplish the profile lockdown.   Only Facebook friends can access my profile now.  Plus, I no longer accept new Facebook Friends.  Those days of accepting strangers as "friends" are long over.  Believe that!

Twitter:

Twitter is just as nasty.  But, I now know how block Twitter members.  I am considering locking my Twitter profile.  But, I hesitate because I do not want to limit myself to just "followers".   So for now, I'll just block those who have a need to attack my replies in news sites. I have 191 Twitter followers. I guess that's okay.  But, I'm watching them closely. 

Instagram:

Instagram is fine.  I know how to block followers on Instagram as well.   So, I'm good on Instagram. There is not a lot of engagement on Instagram.  I do monitor my followers and comments to my photos. So far, so good.  I have 231 Instagram followers.  I guess that's okay too.  

So, I'll be fine on Facebook in 2021.  Folks have noticed that I have not posted in a while. I am able to chat on Messenger. Folks enjoy my engagement on Facebook so I'll stay out of Facebook Jail.  Plus, I have exactly 20 Facebook Groups that I created and manage.  I am able to manage my groups while in Facebook Jail, but I cannot post.  But, this is my last time in Jail.  

I am looking forward to professional Janet-like social media engagement in 2021 and beyond.  I can do this!
