That's exactly what I want to talk about

Baby on Facebook

“Uncool”
My mother is not on Facebook. Thank goodness, because your-mother-on-Facebook is terrible, or so I hear. Most mothers do not excel in coolness: they walk the dog, they drink a glass of wine by the fireplace and they babysit the grandchildren. Mothers on Facebook post about that: every week a photo of the dog, the fireplace and their grandchild. Always with almost the same jubilant text.

AShame ctive mothers on Facebook are even worse. Every post by one armenia mobile phone number list of my colleagues is always liked first by his mother. In the pub, at a dance festival or during a company outing: a photo immediately gets a big thumbs up from mom. Until this colleague recently shared a dirty joke. His mother did not get the punch line and asked for an explanation in the comments. That was the moment to cancel his Facebook account. He has sought his salvation elsewhere.

Threat. It's not Google+ or Tumblr that are a threat to Facebook. Mothers are a serious threat to the continued existence of this platform. If we - yes, I'm a mother too - don't control ourselves a little with our suffocating motherly love, bags under our eyes and uncool activities, it will be over soon. And then you won't be able to share your dressed-up Mother's Day ashtray with anyone.

Désirée Battjes wonders every week on Frankwatching.com about online etiquette . Or rather the lack thereof. Because Facebook may be celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, but do we all know how things should be on social media? How should things actually be done in the virtual world? Time for some online etiquette , with a large grain of salt. Do you have an opinion too? Bring on that opinion, it will only make the internet better.
