trulycrabby Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 So, when I make a stupid, inane comment on a public page like the local tv station news feed, is this post forwarded to all my facebook friends for them to see? Or, if I make a comment on a subscribed page, like the local lost animal group, is this comment forwarded to all my facebook friends for their viewing boredom? I am never mean or controversial, I just don't like the thought of my brainless comments like " beautiful day" or " poor lost dog" being forwarded to everyone to see. I don't mind if the comments,can be seen on my page, I just don't like the thought of them being automatically forwarded to my facebook friends. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonfirmath Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 They are not automatically forwarded. But they show up on the side feed of your friends, who can click on the recent activity of friends and see what is going on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go_go_gadget Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 It certainly can be. I see ''So-and-So liked/commented on this post'' all the time. It can also happen if you like/comment upon a post on someone's personal page, if their privacy for that post is set to ''Public''. ETA: I don't have the ticker on the right enabled, and I see such posts directly in my newsfeed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirstenhill Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Many times, even if it does appear in the newsfeed, FB might not directly point out a friend's comment. So I see a news article and the heading "Jane Doe liked this" or "Jane Doe commented on this" - but if I want to know what they said I would have to go manually scrolling thru the comments myself. If there are only 1 or 2 comments it is easy to see, but on a news article with dozens or hundreds of comments, someone would really have to be looking to see what you said, (Not that I have ever scrolled thru comments wondering what a friend said on some controversial post...nope, never done that...) â˜ºï¸ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, FB fiddles with things so often it's hard to keep up with how that stuff works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I've wondered about that too, which is why I've never posted anything in my life! Talk about paranoia! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinaPagnato Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 It's not forwarded, but it can show up in their news feed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 It's just that I don't want my facebook friends to know how truly brainless I can be. Unlike here, where I let my brainless self fly free, but these folks know me in real life. :o Thanks for the help! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
