Too many trolls, too much interference by opinionated staffers?
I understand Fred is working on some type of 'basement blocker' SW.

#14  Oh, Twitter is a chirpy little critter
That eats your thoughts and shits them in its litter,
And Facebook is your friendly little buddy...

And I should probably stop now.

#12  Twitter really is for twits.

Facebook now is mostly trolls, advertising, and click-bait anymore. Plus they trend-up lefty stories and trend-down conservative stories.

I think time is ripe for the 'next best thing'.

#11  I am honored to be one of trailing wife's FB picks. I originally signed up when I was planning a high school reunion - it proved quite helpful. It's like any tool - useful but abusable.

#8  I signed uo with Facbook to keep an eye on teenage daughters, then met some interesting people there. It's not where I live, but I pick my friends carefully, and so mostly avoid drama.

#6  I actually had some idiot tell me once that they would never trust anybody who was not on farcebook....Posted by M. Murcek

Must be something wrong with me, I'm just the opposite.

#5  Small minded people, needing to show others what they are doing to feel like their life has some worth.

If you need to send everyone you met a pic of yourself buying a really nice head of broccoli to feel like you have some place in this world, you don't need social media, you need a new life.

#4  I've never been on any "social media" either. I actually had some idiot tell me once that they would never trust anybody who was not on farcebook. I just laughed...

#3  So. I've never spent any time on social networks.
