Bear G 690 #1 Posted May 23, 2019 I closed my Facebook Acct.. got tired of all the political arguments. looks like I’m going to be trolling the red square pages a lot more often now.. lol I buy, build, & collect custom modified Wheel Horses. I’ve had difficulty in the past navigating this site in my phone. Only choice I have though. No internet for PC or laptop where we live. If I’m slow to reply to anything it’s not because I’m ignoring anyone. It’s probably because I’m trying to figure it how to use this.. thanks all!

RandyLittrell 3,827 #2 Posted May 23, 2019 If you have a smart phone, you should be able to use it as a hot spot, then you can troll on your laptop. Randy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bear G 690 #3 Posted May 23, 2019 No hot spot on this phone because we have unlimited data. AT&T won’t allow hotspot with the unlimited data plan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 63,218 #15 Posted May 23, 2019 Welcome back. I use only my phone as well about 99% of the time. I can tether to this account but rarely do so because it uses so much data for just a few minutes. We have purposely "disconnected" from the internet and cable at home. We're too busy to use it. Using a phone is a VERY different experience from using a PC. I've gotten used to it after a few months. I also do not have, and have never had... A FB account. I have very little use for negativity, politics, or religious discussion. Redsquare is the only social media site I use. I get everything I need or want from the fine folks here.... About tractors yes... And also about everything else I've ever asked. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,587 #16 Posted May 24, 2019 I never understand why people leave FB because of, for example, the political discussions/arguments. Seems silly to me. As I scroll down thru FB I simply don’t read any of that, then I come to one where a guy I’ve known since middle school but lives in Las Vegas now is posting about his kids graduating collage or something positive. I read it, like the post and offer up my congrats...continue scrolling past the political/religious/gun rants until I come across something positive like my uncle in Florida where he posts pics and an update about his new Harley Davidson. I read it, like the post and offer up my congrats and maybe more. It’s as simple as that. Just read what you want and completely skip the rest. And I’ve dropped a few people off my friend list who never post anything except the negative stuff. Again, super easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohiofarmer 3,157 #21 Posted May 25, 2019 I thought ATT bought TMobile No Matter. We ditched Verizon after many years on the family plan. We have T-Mobile unlimited data,no extra fees or taxes added to our bill, Free Netflix for two devices at once, and the Hotspot works with our plan. We have used 35 gigs of data that ran as fast or faster than Verizon. YMMV.With the automatic billing discount, it is $40 for each phone for three phones We bought unlocked phones so we could leave if we ever wanted to, So add that for an extra cost. The trouble with carriers is that they offer new subscribers better plans than the existing customer It really gets bad when you try to quit your existing carrier Verizon tried to flat out cheat us with extra billing to the tune of $290 when we quit. I guess you could say that it worked out that we played good cop bad cop and finally we got out to what I consider close enough to 'fair' that we accepted their offer It took FOUR billing cycles!!! Of course after all these difficulties we were offered a much better deal than previously with Verizon. No Way,Hose'' I hate using a tiny cell phone keyboard for my fat clumsy fingers.

ztnoo 2,298 #23 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) @Bear G Barry, Don't give up on RED SQUARE!!! There's at least a 1000 times more WH info here than anywhere else, along with boatloads of less chit chat BS that goes on at FB sites. You can handle the learning curve........just don't give up too quickly because you don't have a clear sense of the site map and the rules. Keep hacking away and you'll catch on. You'll be glad you toughed it out with us. Guaranteed! Regards, Steve Edited May 31, 2019 by ztnoo 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I closed my FB 4-5 years ago when I saw the direction it was headed. They kept changing "privacy settings" basically resetting them so you had to go back and set stuff to private if you were not paying attention. I don't like the political manipulation either or "look how awesome my life is and better than yours (when you know it stinks) please give me attention . . . " Social media has it's purpose, but it also screws up a lot of people up who are easily mislead . . . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,827 #25 Posted June 23, 2019 I don't like the politics but I come from a small town and have a lot of good friends. If not for facebook, we would not be able to keep up with each other and our kids. I just unfollow those that post a ton of negative crap, but still remain friends.
