MyHomeSweetHome Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 If you or someone you know has a local Lake Chapala Area social media site, would you be so kind to post their links here? Common interests groups or those who use the sites like Facebook groups or YouTube channels. It’s amazing how the internet has changed since 2004 when we moved to Mexico 🇲🇽 Thanks!!!

CHILLIN Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I don't do Facebook, but I wanted to report there is fox den, with at least three kits, in West Chapala Haciendas One. These are silver foxes, with reddish nose hair. They are sometimes called "fast fox". Anyways, if I remember my biology lessons correctly, there must be a male fox around too. Haven't seen that one, nor have I heard fox screams in the night. They are quite bold - keep your small pets safe and protected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_fox 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rckrckr Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Tangerine Travels is in the Lakeside area for one week before returning to Guadalajara about which they have posted many videos. Most are entertaining and informative about practical matters, especially for prospective first time visitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These forums are pretty outdated as the world has moved on to not hiding in forums. Someone told me today that everyone uses Facebook. Or do they? Just for laughs...but may not so funny if this is true. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gringal Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 There are reports that Facebook participation has been falling. Apparently some people are having an attack of sanity.😉 (Also a holdout) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Younger people are leaving FB for different (and cooler) social media platforms not to protect their privacy. If you are on the internet anywhere you have none. That ship sailed long ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are on the internet anywhere you have none. That ship sailed long ago. The report on FB I read said that it was across all demographics, including middle aged and older people, while the young ones were deserting FB for "cooler" ones. I don't agree that the ship of privacy has sailed entirely. "Privacy" is relative: anything you put in writing is fair game, but the FB phenomenon has put jobs in jeopardy due to unwise postings, not to mention relationship damage and stalking instances. If they aren't "out there", your words and pictures can't come back to haunt you. Of course, YMMV, as always.🖖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Yes. By all means hide instead of simply using the platform wisely. That makes sense. BTW, I hope you are not one of those annoying non-FB users who asks your friends to send you the FB information on the platforms you use, like this forum and email. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make our choices as we see fit. There is nothing on FB that I need. If a restaurant or other business is "wise", it will make its pitch on more than one source of information. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I've been on Facebook for quite a while now. And I use it for one reason, to communicate with my younger relatives and friends from the past. I almost never post on it, and try to keep the number of friends down to below 60 instead of several hundred to a thousand, like most people. Do I like Facebook? Not really, but I can ignore those posts that do not interest me, especially the political ones either loving or hating the latest politician. If you decide to join Facebook, make sure you limit those persons who want to be your friend to as few as possible. I greatly prefer this and TOB to Facebook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 When I want to communicate with relatives and friends, I write them an email. That works.😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
