If you regularly use Facebook, it can be super annoying when a group admin tags everyone in Facebook posts with the @everyone tag.
Honestly, many of us found this annoying when someone tags you with the whole group to get you to view a post in which you have no interest whatsoever. You can also disable this feature if you're among those who just can't tolerate @everyone tags.
