Back in the days of early Facebook, before it turned into MySpace and then the cesspool that it is now, I used the poke as a way to flirt. Or at least to tell a friend that I still know who they are (and care).
I was going to say “and I wasn’t weird” but realized that is not true. But I wasn’t the kind of weird that would’ve caused this kind of response from Madfr Is Bee.
I think.
But maybe I was that weird, creepy guy. I sure hope not. No one ever told me I was, but maybe that’s not the kind of thing they felt comfortable approaching me about? Maybe I was so far gone that no one felt like they could redeem me?
But the number of pleasant interactions with a variety of different people signals that I was an okay guy. (or better than “okay” if you believe most of them)

@xobzoo The first such “poke” I got was from my X1. It was a very long time before anyone else tried it, and that was a complete stranger.
I’ve always regarded it as a very strange and mostly rude misfeature that’s best ignore on Facebook for the same reason it’s not used in meatspace.
