If you’re not following SFL on Facebook or Twitter then you’re missing out on all kinds of extra content that I post through the week. Even if I don’t have a new post here there’s almost always something to look at on the social media feeds.
(and if you’re REALLY bored you can also follow my personal Twitter account to hear me chatter on inanely)
I love facebook but have resisted Twitter.
If it helps, having Twitter doesn’t mean you have to make inane statuses (statii?) about the burrito you had for lunch. I personally just use it for following other people.
Third! 😀
I don’t have a Facebook or Twitter. I tend to get so involved with things that I choose to participate in that I’ve resisted these social networks… Maybe I should reconsider???
Sometimes I feel like I’m missing out and then other times I’m glad to feel free of some of the effects that interactions do tend to bring.
If I do decide to open a Facebook… Will you be my friend? 😉
Or wait… Is the question rather… Will you “like” me? lol
It’s a small world after all!

I don’t have Facebook or Twitter accounts, either.
One reason is that I’m lonely & tend to use online interaction as a (poor) substitute for real life relationships, which is not healthy for me! Another reason is that I prefer to be anonymous on-line, which pretty much defeats the purpose of social networking. 😆
I feel Twitter calling me with its siren song, though…
Have you ever noticed that the “f” and the “t” have the same characteristics? Just flip one!
Is that subliminal marketing? Hhmmmmm….

I don’t follow you personally, just the SFL tweets. I try not to stalk celebrities.
I wish there were a way to follow something on facebook without everyone else seeing it. Still a little nervous about officially “coming out,” haha. 🙂
You can always have a second account that you keep for such purposes.
Totally relate to that.
Yes, that is the main reason why I don’t follow SFL on either facebook or twitter; everyone can see what you’re following, and I don’t want the exposure at this point in time. (I still have friends enmeshed in cult-like churches that would completely cut me off if they knew I was following the “hate-filled blog knows as SFL”
George! “known as”, not “knows as”
I’m not sure if I have people who would cut me off (most of them already did before because of my husband and our church), but I have people who would be bothered, disturbed, and hurt by what they’d read on SFL, and I don’t want to hurt them.
They’d also probably figure out who I am. If I truly wanted to be anonymous, I should have picked a more vague screen name.
I have “liked” the SFL FB page, and since the privacy on my liked pages is set to “only me”, no one can see that I like it. However, I never I comment on the FB posts because since it is a public page, I’m afraid my comments will show up in my friends’ news feeds. 😳
Whoa, how do you do that? I’m looking around now but can’t find it.
Nevermind, I got it! I also figured out how to see your profile through various friends’ eyes. That helped.
Escaped the Facebook religion too as a new year’s resolution. Don’t miss it a bit. But hey, if you like it, knock yourself out.
Facebook is EE-VULL! I log in for five minutes, and two hours go by.
I wouldn’t know about Twitter—I’m not a Twit.
Don’t forget the other EVUL that is YouTube. Amazing how many hours watching those dancing kittens can consume. 😳
But you’re a Face? 😉
I gave up Facebook for Lent this year. I found the initial withdrawals painful, but then didn’t miss it so much by the end. Was a lot easier not to get sucked in for more time than I wanted to spend when I went back to it. I also had the strength to set some harder boundaries when I went back. Lost a few “friends” over it, but it was good overall.
As to being seen as someone who follows/comments on SFL – that takes some courage and distance to do, I agree. I was only able to do it myself recently, and I’m now 2 years and 2000 miles out from FundyLand. It’s hard.
I follow your site which is only now a few (Slactivist/Hidden City Philadelphia/daily New York Times. I read many more in the past and have stopped.
Instead, I am re-discovering the joys of reading and am presently working through a list of “100 great books” and then some. I have less stress; less anxiety about politics and have traded the internet time to reading all manner of books, as just mentioned. In the last months, I have read Moby Dick, Ulysses (Joyce), Sons and Lovers, and currently the Red and the Black by Stendahl.
I have less clutter in my mind, sleep better, work out better and have a better overall disposition.
I’m not sure what your post title “PSA” is supposed to stand for, but to me it represents prostate specific antigen – a lab test for prostate problems.
PSA: Public Service Announcement.
