Community guide
r/oldpeoplefacebook (#892, about 1.2 million) shares amusing or baffling social-media posts in an “old people on Facebook” humour style—its public description is itself written in that voice.
What belongs
Screenshots that fit elderly-relative Facebook humour (about 12 posts/day). The rules cover personal info, personal attacks/violence, calling out fakes (pointing to thathappened), off-topic content, and mainly political/religious posts.
Versus thathappened and general meme rooms
Rules send fake-callouts toward thathappened. General meme dumps without the Facebook-elder framing miss this room’s point.
Practical pointers
Crop personal info. Skip violence and political/religious main posts per rules.
