It's my Facebook and I'll post what I want to 😆
To: nickcarraway
Maybe I never understood Facebook in the first place.
If there are people I don't see regularly, or call on the phone frequently, then I don't want them to know anything about me.

I guess I shouldn't let them know that my fake account has me shown as a person of the opposite gender who is 20 years older than I really am.
No wonder I get all of these ads for AARP and joint pain remedies in the Facebook sidebar. LOL.

You can do it with one account it is all about setting “permissions” for your various posts.

I refuse to have liberal “friends.” What has light to do with darkness.

And maybe all of this will be good for Trump. People will get so tired of the nasty politics that Facebook will lose whatever influence it may have over public opinion.

Facebook has the greatest feature. It is called block.

It's Freedom of Speech.
Facebook was an important instrument in electing President Trump and defeating Hillary Clinton.

I agree. It's best not to argue or even to comment on posts one doesn't agree with.
What is effective, is powerful, terse comments or pithy images on original posts or posts you agree with.
I like having a wide diversity of Facebook "friends." It keeps me honest. I sometimes reach some of them. Sometimes I change my opinions about things. And I like to know what the psychotics are up to.
I have never "unfriended" anyone because of his opinions.
I like to know what the opinions are out there.

"Its ironic facebook is so popular with liberals, considering it began as a way for upperclassmen in the campus rape culture to rate the incoming female freshman talent."I've made family members watch that movie, they didn't flinch.
It's designed for women now, the eternal coffee klatch.
It's going to take a pastor-driven movement to end this.
"A third of all divorce filings in 2011 contained the word "Facebook," according to Divorce Online. And more than 80 percent of U.S. divorce attorneys say social networking in divorce proceedings is on the rise, according to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers."

To: Mad Dawgg
Given that employers these days demand to see your social media , it’s better to have your political posts have no connection to your public persona.

I don't do Facebook, and I never discuss politics with anybody I don't know I can trust. My three sisters, have been doing it for years. As the result of their Facebook postings during and after the elections, there has been a catastrophic fracture in my family. I don't like it as all.
Facebook, IMHO, has devolved into a cult-like phenomenon, where people get sucked into it and even when they begin to realize its' corrosive effect. They get caught in a loop when everything they say on Facebook gets bombarded by public criticism, sometimes by people they've never even heard of, but they can't break free of it. Facebook's kinda like Scientology.
Facebook is poison.

The unbelievable (never before seen) almost overnight mass migration from MySpace to Facebook that happened several years back, was a Government run Op.

Absolutely concur with your observations, Kenton.
It mostly serves as a repository of photographs for me.
If one is not careful it can indeed be as corrosive as you shared.

I have had 3 acquaintances ‘drop off’ facebook in the last week. Basically they gave one ‘last’ post stating why and they were gone. I think a lot of people were willing to live with it through the election, but no one wants to spend the next four (or forty) years being insulted daily by people who don’t share your political views. It is just a drip for now, but if Facebook can’t come up with a better way for users to filter policital content or if a better service comes along it could turn into a full fledged waterfall of lost customers.
To: wareagle7295
Absolutely agree, wareagle7295.
People utilize Facebook simply because it is the only show in town like it.
Zuckerberg better learn that people have *zero* allegiance to him.
If a similar website came along, folks would migrate in a heartbeat.
