Facebook sucks.

It should be called Racebook, a steaming cauldron of narcissism and political sewage.

If I wasn't in a band, I'd get rid of it. I have zero interest in documenting my trips to the store as if they are vitally important news.

@uncalled4 I have a friend..one who ditched me after twenty years of friendship...post her new recipes each week, it's like ok we get it , you are eating a new dish😐😶

@Coralmist Facebook. Elevating the unimportant since 2003(or whenever). It's mental illness.

@uncalled4 lol. Like it's nice once in a great while, ok..but when it's non-stop it's like, I don't know what I wouldve done without your every thought, meal etc😶

@Coralmist It brings out the worst in people: the self-importance, the judgment, the virtue signaling, the conspiracy wackiness.

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@uncalled4 Exactly. And my friends carry that self importance from FB to me.. telling me what to do in my life, judging me. It's like GET away. 😣

@Coralmist I truly think something happens to people's brains, like a light goes off, like "Gee....my opinion IS VITALLY important!", when it actually holds zero value to most of humanity.

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@uncalled4 Exactly!! Like I'm the ONLY one who has a thought right now, or selfie, or pic of my new shoes, or what my neighbor said, or etcc.... Oh man I don't like logging in!!!! 😖

@Coralmist I do try to see what friends are up to, catch up with friends' bands, etc., but people stick their political flags in the sand and sometimes I run. I'm no empath, but sometimes the vibes are so bad that I log out like there's a virus.

@uncalled4 Ugh so true..I do love pet videos there, but that's IT lol. I think it's an awesome invention, but just certain people use it to brag so much😐

uncalled4 · 56-60, M

@Coralmist Sometimes, it's fun. I have friends who play with national acts, and I get to see some of their experiences, and other times, there are immensely cute baby videos. But the rest? Memes used to be bumper stickers, shallow, meaningless platitudes. Bleh.

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@uncalled4 I agree the pet and keep d or baby vids are great. Everything else..ugh it can feel like high school..who has a better selfie? Who went away? Etc. I just think we needed FB vent session lol😛

@uncalled4 What kind of people do you have as friends there? 😧 Around 80% of people I added as friends don't post at all. If I spot a braggart or a political nutjob that gets on my nerves I completely hide his or her activity from my feed.

@uncalled4 But the narcissism and sewage shows up far more quickly than in real life, so less time wasted.
