There’s apparently two options: either use keyword filter to block it all and be uninformed about what’s happening or alternatively be absolutely firehosed by articles about them. I think I’ll choose the former.
And yes, I see the irony in making yet another thread about them.
I’m happy for you that you don’t spend time on Facebook. They’ve really trumped the place up.
I was looking at my partner’s Facebook “feed” and it’s just like imgur but with even more ads now. Like, totally overculture memes, hardly anything local or from friends.
I quit fb a long long long time ago, but I remember my feed being actually pretty good - like it was almost entirely updates and posts and shared by cool friends, and people I actually knew IRL.
