Facebook question:
I have different types of 'friends' on Facebook, such as "Family", "Rationalists", "English-speaking", etc. Different materials I post are interesting for different groups. There is an option to select visibility of my posts, but that seems not exactly what I want.
What I'd like is to make my posts so that they are available to everyone, including people I don't know (e.g. if anyone clicks on my name, they will see everything I ever posted), but I don't want all my posts to appear automatically on all of my 'friends' home pages, if they follow me. In other words, I don't want to spam my 'friends'' pages with stuff they are unlikely to read, yet I want anyone to be able to read each of my posts if they wish so.
Is there an option "don't push this automatically to all people, but let them see it if they click on a permalink"?
I don't understand why facebook messes up the language issue so strongly. It seems like the American's at facebook quarters just don't care about bilinguals.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.
2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one. (Immediately before; refresh the list-of-threads page before posting.)
3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.
4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.
