From the sounds of it (I don't do FB so I'm just going by what my husband tells me) EVERYONE'S lives are wonderful and full of excitement and adventures on FB.

Instagram, I like.  I follow the beauty influencers that I follow on YT, I get great recipes, watch hours of dog videos and horse videos, luxury real-estate and more.  Like I've said before, I need to be cleaning house but there's Instagram LOL

@smoochy et al, you can stop viewing a lot of that stuff in your feed by managing and filtering your account.  I do it all the time.

I don't do facebook. Don't know what it's all about.

I am on Facebook, but the groups I belong to or follow are all sports related, local groups, Jersey shore locations, animal welfare, and holiday themed groups. Every once in awhile someone goes crazy about a local issue (parking, traffic etc), but nothing outrageous or political. I guess am lucky that my groups have good mods and/or people who are respectful.

Never joined any social media and never will.  What a waste of time.  According to friends it causes a lot of anxiety.  I have better things to do.

The QVC forums are a social media platform.

I don't have FB, but I can read some that are public.  Valerie Parr Hill, a friends public public page with a sick child, Caroline Gracie, some local music groups, etc.  I know some people sadly, who found out about family members passing on FB.  I'm sure it's good for some keeping in touch. Next door is also a mess.  Mostly negative complaints about everything.  

I've already backed off some news these past few weeks.  The constant political mess is just too much.  The hate just gets too much some days.  I have my candidates, but I don't hate someone because they have a different political view than I do.
So many stories with divided neighborhoods over political signs in their yards.

I never was on Facebook until about a week ago.  I joined a Facebook page for parents of kids who attend a certain university.  Housing information is coming out for the 2025-2026 year.  My daughter will be a sophmore and the university doesn't promise any housing beyond freshman year.  Hoping to get information/tips.  My daughter has never been on Facebook all thru school years (up to High School).  I didn't want her in that mess.  Now that she's in college, it's her decision but she is not interested to do so.

I find Facebook to be very tame. Instagram is another story.
