I call it one of life's ebbs and flows.

Stuff happens. Sometimes nothing happens. It's the same on these forums. 

The best part of yesterday's facebook was seeing only a few political posts. Before the election, I found so many to be flat out lies, deceitful, and bot filled -- and those who believe them stress me out. 

If you aren't interested, go ahead and close your account....for as long as you want.

Are you kidding me, speaking like that to all those who do enjoy being on FB?  Quite rude and snarky for someone with very few posts to create such an ugly reputation of being "mean girl."

I love FB and check in several times a day.  It's a great way to keep up with family and friends who live out of the city, state, etc.  Heck, I don't see a lot of family & friends who live nearby and it's great to keep up with them and their kids activities, etc. My small town doesn't really have a daily newspaper any longer so I follow our town's official FB page for major announcements, events & pictures, etc.  along with a couple of pages that were started by individuals for other kinds of announcements. 

I don't like all the political posts either.  I will unfollow those people but still remain friends so I can go back to see if they've posted any non-political things that I might be interested in.

I guess I'm lucky.  The very few friends I have on FB (mostly relatives) don't post political things.  Or anything controversial really.  Since I no longer live near what few relatives I have left, it's a great way for me to keep up with what's going on in their lives.

And a lot of what you see otherwise depends on what you click on.  If you click on a political post, FB will start feeding you more political content.  If you click on an animal post, you will start getting more of those.

I stick to the animal videos. 😉

@Kachina624 .. I too discuss politics with people who agree with me on FaceBook.   I also check in on what is happening on my Town's faceBook Pages.   My relatives doen't post as much as they used to but still do occasionally.  I never post when i am on vacation.  Too many people would know I am away.  But I might post a couple photos once I return.

Chilly Tulip has been posting here for many years @beckyb1012 . She said she is a Pediatrician. I cannot imagine how she must treat her patients. I have seen her repeatedly reply like this. Really sad.😞

I can understand that, @smoochy --  it's no longer meeting any of your needs or providing pleasure, so why stay?

I'm not on it personally, but my husband is.  His page is fueled by his interest in theology, and he likes to post scholarly articles on that, things like archeological digs in the middle east, inspirational pieces, analyses of various passages from the Bible, etc.

He might intersperse that rarely with videos of blues or jazz artists!   

So, in his case it's a fun outlet-- but if it ever became burdensome, he'd not continue either.

I'm kind of a theology 🤓nerd. I like to read articles on the topic, particularly related to Reformed theology. Also very interested in other religions' soteriology, etc.
