@TheOrionbeltseeker I just checked. There isn't a down vote button, as such. There are several reactions, which I never thought of as negative towards the person, but reactions to the actual stories.
You see, the thumbs up, is general approval. The heart is I love you. And so on. The laugh, isn't necessarily laughing at the poster, but at the story or the joke. The angry face, is one I see often on posts about abuses. It's all about the stories, not the person.
@TheOrionbeltseeker I use it for two things. I store my photos and writing on a second account that no one knows about. And on my first account, I look for the pictures my grandkids post of their kids, and I save them on the other.
I don't like the way people go on FB, and talk about their life experiences in graphic detail, and using their own names and photos. I figure they may as well be running naked down the middle of a highway.
