Facebook programming groups are cancer.

If you take out "programming groups" from that sentence the statement is still true.

Facebook in general is cancer...

@Demolishun something something grammar

There are programming groups on Facebook?! What do they discuss? Scratch?

@sariel Years ago I googled something and in order to read the article I created a Facebook account. What happened in the next 24 hours is what I refer to as Facebook cancer. I was carpetbombed with unsolicited spam suggestions from the algorhithims of my zip code with 'people I may know, people I might know, people I may want to know, people who may know me, people who might want to know me.' Or is the term 'friend'? 'To friend' is now a verb. I closed the account without haste.

@bols59 I have no friends, and I couldn't be happier.

@sariel doubt it. You can definitely be happier by deleting thousands of lines of code. Instant pleasure.

When learning Python amd JS I figured I join some FB groups. Left when all it entailed were self promotions for dubious courses with even more dubious grammar, "help me do my assignment" and unreadable screenshots accompanied by "where error". I found Reddit to be leagues more helpful.

It grows on you?

Never saw one. Not missing anything I guess.

Yes.

@sariel My favourite ejaculation from 2020 is, "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!" Made by a fellow who was watching Beruit harbour burn, right before the big explosion.

(the Oxford dictionary definition of ejaculation: a sudden shout or sound that you make when you are angry or surprised.)
