If you just use it for keeping in touch with people then nothing will be controlled. Unfriend anyone who tries to make political statements on there because that shit is annoying as hell.
I had issues with Facebook before i even got political. The second the timeline was no longer chronological i knew it was fucked. Telling me so-and-so's post is more important than my families (or mine) and ramming their bullshit down my throat. Not people i disagree with, just people that are more active on social media than i was... i found myself deleting and blocking people just so my page wasnt full of the same old popular bullshit and my cousin who had 3 friends and posts once a year would even show up.
Same thing with reddit... however, blocking all the anti trump subs and other bullshit subs didnt work because every day there was a new one that was inorganically being pushed to the front page. It was either hand pick your subs and only those subs and potentially miss something interesting or be bludgeoned to death by progressive rhetoric.
Agreed. I only ever go there to check up on specific people. Way back in the day I would check the main feed almost daily, but now it’s just a bunch of people posting viral videos and links to stupid shit. When BuzzFeed became popular is when it really went to shit.
