The first time I made a post in a while, I got this option. I never saw it again, I think I may have been sharing a video from a public group. At this point, I had already typed out my status as a status because I was planning on posting it to my personal page. I stared at this option page for a while, wonder how I post my normal status. What the hell is a “News Feed?” Why would I post this to my story? It’s a status! If I wanted to send it in messenger, I would have picked that option! Why is Facebook treating me like I’m a 67 year old on social media, holding my hand, giving me an extra safety net so I don’t post something where I don’t want it to be. I guess the video was something I would normally share over messenger, but why was this page made? Is it really an extra safety net or is it just another way Facebook wants you to share and “reach” more people? Like in Snapchat how people post something to their story but also send that same photo to specific people.
News Feed is the new wall I guess? Where did the phrase “status” go? I see that timeline is still being used but I feel that Facebook has started to change a lot of their terminology in the past few years.
