Facebook to me is no more than social platform to keep in touch with friends and family I don't see often.
A few years ago I was quite vocal in some groups over the loss of freedom and democracy issue in Hong Kong. Then I figured some people's brain are hard wired wrong and can't be changed, and is not worth my time and effort to convince them. I defriended some to keep my feed nice and clean, and now it's much better. I use it for social purposes only. The only thing I hate is the amount of adverts that come up.
I wish I would have kept it that way, a way to keep up with folks. I made the mistake of trying to help people think differently and as you stated convince them otherwise. People will stick to what they believe and most don’t even want to have open minds anyway.
It’s good you know now and have cleaned up your feed. I knew from the beginning it really wasn’t my type of place but I tolerated a lot in order to stay in touch. I’m glad I can still enjoy the social aspect here and I tend to just stick to my circle in RL around those I know are really for me and have my back :)
Thanks for adding to the conversation ~
