13187413, the "People You May Know" list in Linkedin, FB etc
Posted by Flash80, Tue Aug-22-17 11:10 AM
can we just kill that feature already?
if we got 55 mutual connections on linkedin, and you and i haven't connected yet, there's a reason for that.

13187415, You can hit the x and they don't show up anymore.

Also you should remove syncing of contacts and send requests to remove prior contacts. Privacy.

i just think it's funny 'cause my first reaction when someone pops up is always, "psssht... please. i fucking hated working with that dude." lol

13187443, FB used to recommend ppl i had one-night stands with years ago.

turns out the shit was going through my contacts and my call history.
i unsynced that shit.

13187754, IG is doing that too.

I don't FB/Tweet or anything on my phone. The only platform I use on my phone is IG. And like you said:
>turns out the shit was going through my contacts and my call
>history.

Same thang. Somebody who drunkenly put their number in my phone. We've never even talked other than a one time "I have you locked in" text.
It's time to unplug from ALL this shit, man.

13187850, Just went back to FB after six months away...

which was preceded by a year of playing around on it and another year away from it.
This return though follows me having requested FB delete my previous account. So, I started fresh and have only friended family and real life friends (people I talk to away from social media). Went from over 1k "friends" to about 100. And that's a very liberal estimate.

13187764, Yup I had a few come up like that

Linkedin did the same, damn EX girlfriend, came up as a connection. I looked at the Who viewed your profile section and she appeared with a few other folks I messed with came up. Straight career stalking niggas

13187788, yeah, that's weird

i had similar stuff happening to me a couple years ago. it hasn't happened in a while, I don't remember but I may have changed my settings.

13187774, linkedin doesn't bother me
Posted by tariqhu, Wed Aug-23-17 01:54 PM
but I hate this on fb. Its always suggesting folks I don't have a need to know or are friends with someone else. leave along fb!
|
13187791, how do they come up with the people that aren't friends with
Posted by makaveli, Wed Aug-23-17 02:24 PM
anyone you know, people that you've never spoken with before. anyone know what info they use?

13187806, "Interest graph"
Posted by magilla vanilla, Wed Aug-23-17 02:34 PM
Basically the things you like, groups you're part of, the places you've checked in, and the topics you post about
|
13187852, Doesn't bother me because I only use/access my account...
Posted by Creole, Wed Aug-23-17 03:18 PM
when I need to update my profile before searching for a gig.
Otherwise, it's not on my phone and I don't care to access in times other than what I just stated.
