The worst part of facebook is getting a "wish this person a happy birthday" reminder for a friend who has died. The second worst is seeing the well wishes from people who either haven't found out or have forgotten the person is dead.

[dewline]

Not the worst for me. It's a minor annoyance at worst in my eyes. That may well change as the years pass, should I live long enough and should Facebook last that long...

[elayna]

I hate that. I unfollowed my deceased friend because those reminders and people's forgetfulness weirded me too much. I had my mom's account memorialized after she passed away, so then FB knows she's gone and doesn't send birthday reminders.

One of the many, many reasons I go to FB only rarely. AIEEEEE

cw: foster kitten death

[hitokage]

Lost two more of our foster kittens to Fading Kitten in the last 24hrs, though both of them crashed quickly and quietly. Void passed in her sleep without a peep, Big Blue whimpered a little and then passed in wife's hands between one breath and the next.

Oh no. I'm so sorry. {{{hugs}}}

[adafrog]

Yes!
Although I once found out about someone's death because of a Happy Birthday thing on FB. That was kind of shitty.

hug?

[harpers_child]

I don't know what you were going for here, but this is really insensitive.

[dewline]

Yes, it was. I was in a Mood last night for reasons and/or excuses.
