I’m not sure I’m following you exactly but it sounds like you have a lot of facebook-generated sponsored posts in your fb newsfeed. Is there a family member or friend who can sit down at your side and help clean things up? I’ve done that with my mother so she can see photos family members post.

re:sponsored posts

The prayers, Bible verses and religious posts don’t seem to be in anyway sponsored. They don’t link to anything outside that post. They all seem to be from isolated individuals.

The non-religious posts are all over the map on subject. They are split between IL specific and national. I left IL 4 years ago. 4 years in GA. Not a single GA specific post. Not on the rising Falcons. Not on politics. Not on anything GA specific.

Mulesoft is the only commercial post that appears constantly.

I am not close to anyone who could teach me. Cheat sheets is what I’m used to since switching careers to IT in my 40s in 1983. So ideally I’d like to get (or build) a cheat sheet that explains cause and effect of why things appear on facebook.

Someone understands facebook. I didn’t go on facebook for several hours this afternoon. Then just now went back to check facebook.

The first post is my daughter. Second is Mulesoft.
The next several hundred are all Trump posts. An average of 7 or 8 per day for every day in November and December. I gave up trying to see how many I have.

I have never before had a facebook from or on Trump. I can only speculate that someone saw my FR post and pushed all these Trump facebook posts to me.

It also tells me a lot of why we live in 2 Americas. Those who get Trump posts and those who don’t. And that divide apparently has zero to do with a person’s politics.
