Agreed. These days it’s hard not to have one. Its a great way to connect with people, especially over long distance.
I just created a small new one. Very well locked down in terms of privacy settings. I have about 30 people and close friends/family on it, and that’s it.
Politics in the US has gotten... well, it’s beyond any belief really. It’s pretty much a civil war. History is going to call it that. I don’t know anyone who isn’t discussing politics on FB (myself included) but a portion of it is virtue signaling and highly toxic posts, doxxing, death threats among other things. I’m all for discussing it on FB (I myself so it), but doxxing and death threats, and hate speech are not appropriate.
That being said, I do not at all condone racism and have strongly stood by as an ally for equality for many years. That has not changed. It is more important now than it ever has been before.
Having it cut down to about 30 people on a brand new account has been great. I genuinely feel much happier and less stressed. It will grow with time, but I need a break to recharge, and the new account is much more locked down to protect me from getting doxxed by people again.
