The U25 crowd that FB is losing are on IG or Snap more than likely. I still spend time on FB since I have 2 pages I'm admin of plus my own. I lurk on here much more than post since a lot of the fun and general BS-ing has fallen off only to be replaced by pee pee contests.

As far as the topic, it has been well known for a while that social media is de-socializing humans. People are less inclined to talk in person because they can talk on media. It is scary when we see people walk into poles, ponds, and fall off the sidewalk because they are looking at their phones. Also, the decline in the health of our children is because they are given social media devices as babysitters.
This forum is the only social media that I have ever been part of in my 63 years. I can see the affect it has by seeing what is posted here. I do participate, so I can’t complain. However, there are some very vicious people here that would not say what they do, if it was in person.
For, the most part, this forum is informative, helpful, and fun, and I have made some good friends. That is why I am still here. Although, I did have to separate from my twin, Pollyanna, in order to stay here.
Happy foruming, y’all.

There is a lot of what you mention. I know I'm starting to get turned off from Facebook because it's turning into something that is flooded with extremist political posts, fake news and false accusations. I miss the days when it was about keeping up with the latest happening of friends, relatives, old classmates, former co-workers, old Navy buddies, etc. Now I see "friends" who post nothing but political crap, much of it made up.

President Trump is the only one who has it correct.

P.S. - this is why Facebook is losing people's interest.

I adjust my feed to avoid most of that.
And sadly, I have completely cut off SOME relatives who won't post anything else.
I didn't friend them on Facebook to hear their politics. I want to know about THEM.
I've learned something recently, that because of the sheer volume of posts in your feed, Facebook will adjust
what appears based on your responses. If you like or respond to a post, it is more likely to keep that person
near the top of your feed. If you typically ignore them, it will drop to the bottom.
I just unfollowed / liked EVERY Political Feed I had been watching and shifted to other content [gaming ... etc]
... as well as un-following 99% of my 'friends'
If I want to see what they are up to, I'll pop over to their page and check it out

That's what I do - I have a niece who wore the pussy hat in that parade, hates everything Republican or Trump -
Has actually MET him and Ivanka - and her reaction was, well, they SEEM nice in person but -
Usually ties just about every racially motivated incident in the nation - to Trump.
I just got tired of the endless drumbeat.
I pop on over from time to time to hear about her husband - but because they don't have or plan to have kids,
all I got for days was will the rest of the world just shut up about Mother's Day - and rants about how bad her parents
(my sister) were to her, and endless narcissistic crap about how empowered she is - and then more Trump stuff.
But - I still care - she's family, and I remember the little blue eyed girl in bows and dresses she once was.
She can be very sweet, but she's too caught up in herself.

Maybe it's best that she doesn't multiply after all.

My social media participation has dropped dramatically mostly because of you annoying, ugly, nasty, pathetic, low-IQ, grammar-challenged, morons. Okay, not Trans. I like her. She makes me laugh. A lot. A whole lot. I like to laugh. Laughter is good medicine. Trans is medicine for my soul.
The rest of your morons can go straight to hell. Especially YOU Vrai! Oh, and GURPS.... you too. Go to hell. Straight to hell. Don't pass go, don't collect $200. And MR. Straight to hell with you, you ignorati.
