[QUOTE="Lil, post: 729451, member: 17309"] ...and politics. I HATE political posts. I had to "unfollow" a number of relatives during the election. I've gotten quite picky about just blocking some websites, so that even if a staunch right-wing friend posts an article of meme from one of those sites, I don't see it. But for the most part I spend WAY too much time on Facebook. It's good, in that I can keep an eye on all the people I don't see regularly. It's bad, in that a lot of it is the "ad" type stuff and false "news" articles, etc., anymore. I try not to have any FB friends I don't personally know. The exceptions are people I'm with on other forums, like the old Weight Watcher's forums that are now defunct. Several of us found each other on FB and are "friends" now. I have exactly two ladies who are friends of friends - but otherwise, all people I personally know in real life. I am "friends" with my son's girlfriend, but not my son. I do Pinterest, but never really figured out how it's "social". I have people I follow and follow me, but I go there for food and craft ideas. It's a most enjoyable time-suck. I have a Twitter account, but virtually never tweet. In fact, I don't think anyone is really linked to me there. I have Instagram, but I don't do much there either. [/QUOTE]
