I used to comment on public news sites, but they seemed to have mostly turned to FB for commenting, then I would have various contacts there go after me. It is THE place, or was, for many people and organizations. Now, they will just delete your posts, or ban you. What is the point? I try to avoid anything remotely political there.
Facebook and Twitter and the like are cesspools. I won’t step into their crap. They were once good for live news and such but now they’re just full of robo-posts and kids playing who they’re going after next.
