I don't really have any issues with Facebook because I can easily ignore whatever's on there that I don't like.  I don't even notice to be honest, my brain just filters it out.

And it's extremely useful for helping the extended family and distant friends keep up with the activities of my family (mostly my kids to be honest).  So posting a couple of things here and there to Facebook, saves me from dreaded phone conversations.  It's really quite the Godsend.

:)


it’s funny, my Facebook has been incredibly hollowed out. It seems like it became the space for all our relatives with strong opinions and basically everyone in my generation just skipped off unless they were posting photos of their kids.

also their suggested content is poor.

Yeah I don't post anything personal or political.  Mainly photos of the kids or occasionally pictures of my dinner or perhaps beer.  That's what I find it useful for.

I have no interest in political echo chambers nor in doom scrolling.

Instagram is the one I still have. My feed is full of golden retrievers. And zero (or close to) bullshit. That's a perfect balance in life. 

I also don't post, or comment on posts.

You build your echo chamber of stuff you want, which is great.
