My Facebook friends are sucky, boring and stale. Is there still a Facebook group loosely associated with this list?

I’m friends with some on here. The Kid Group page doesn’t get much action. Pm me if you want to connect but I’m not terribly interesting and I am fairly political

I don't feel I can be fairly political on FB because of my family. One of them has already told me I'm a Commie. She is no longer my FB friend. These are my cousins and I don't want to lose total contact with them, although there are days when I want to unfriend every single one of them and 90% of my high school classmates.

Something About Kidd Steps is the group FB page.
It's not every active; but I have connected to some of the members on FB in general. As a whole, the YMAM people are a very nice group.

FB sucks now. Everyone is stale. The grand experiment has proven that we all aren't great content providers. Look at how hard celebrities have to work to keep their social media interesting. They take content from elsewhere and hire people to write stuff for them. Your average Joe just doesn't have that much to say.

My FB friends number less than 50 ….. and I know each one personally and like them. A couple of cousins have unfriended me because I don't allow politics on my page and I let them know. Politics belong on this type of forum, not a FB type.
Love seeing pictures of g-kids and family

Some I have been cyber friends with since around 1996 or so but not RL friends. Several from here and funny thing is the cyber buds are the most political. I've unfollowed a few or snoozed from time to time. And my scrolling skills are fine tuned. I just think about others seeing what some post I rarely post anything myself since my life is dull as dirt and I'm not much on sharing my life anyway

I used to keep up with a lot of friends on Facebook, but a lot of them have left, or rarely post anymore. Especially younger people. I have a few train wreck friends that I still keep up with.
Facebook use continues to grow, but I don’t think it is in US. And they are now making a lot of money
My 2 favorite things on Facebook are the private group my DD in Germany set up for pictures of my granddaughter. When GD was first born there were pictures several times a week, now down to weekly. Due to time difference most pictures are posted early AM here, so I check my phone first thing when I wake up, so guess I am addicted!
We also use Facebook messenger for free video calls with DD, SIL and GD. We used other free apps also but Facebook seems most convenient for all.

With family, my biggest problem with unfollow is that I've learned of births, deaths and weddings on FB. I use Social Fixer and have filtered out 90% of politics using my computer. It doesn't work on my phone. I've unfriended a lot of people since the election. I won't put up with their BS. I'm going to unfriend most of my high school classmates in two weeks. That's when the 50th reunion is that I'm not going to. Some I consider friends and I will keep those people, but not the others.

Some I consider friends and I will keep those people, but not the others. gotcha. there's enough family in my friends list to unfollow the ones that really irk me, because I'll get the notifications that others I do actually like/enjoy have commented on something I wouldn't have otherwise seen. convoluted, but the ones I've unfollowed are ones that have already tried to lay down a guilt trip on me/my sister/mom because we don't reach out to them at all since my Nana died. I'd never hear the end of it if I just outright unfriended them. so, unfollow it is.

I did figure I'd get in trouble for unfriending the one who called me a Commie. Haven't heard about that and her daughter that told me she called me that is still chatting with me on FB.
If anyone tries to guilt trip me, they will be either unfriended or unfollowed, depending on the situation.

FB is fun these days!😂 I have somewhere over 100 friends and I know personally everybody with the exception of 2 that befriended me just in the last fall or so right before the election. About 40 of them are family/friends from overseas, 5 or so are Canadians. This group is almost apolitical. The remainder contains only about 10 that keep in touch as friends. No political discussions. With all all others, sometimes all hell breaks loose! Maybe 10 are liberals and the rest are split between republicans and libertarians which are in fact anarchists but too dumb to understand the difference. Again, I know all of them personally! Being called a socialist or any variation of it is typically the answer to my recommendation to watch something else besides FOX, read the Constitution and try to understand it and that the Bible is not a legal document.

YMAM is supposed to have a FB group. Doc Pig went to FB. He was a great one to start interesting conversations. I would have joined YMAMFB but I didn't want my family/friends reading our content. I have a group of friends who started our own message group just for us. Another friend used FB to organize a family reunion so everyone was informed and no one was left out. I would like my family to use a group FB thing anytime there is a family function. I don't like some people my H. is fiends with on FB. I do not want them to know what is going on with me. Case in point. A videoed motel room invasion in a rural town after a wedding reception.
I, too, was called a commie on FB for suggesting a group of neighbors get together and clean up the problems they were commenting about. Namely a burned out cabin. Lo and behold, 6 weeks later, the group was formed. It turned into a block party with a purpose. Everyone was satisfied. Even the nasty name caller.

Having the community figure it out for themselves is the polar opposite of socialism, where the government takes care of everything. People are stupid.

Doc pig is in my Facebook with his real account. His real personality is not the same as his persona. Maybe he is just afraid of his wife?!?!lol

Like many he was having fun here without disclosing a lot of private things. Miss T and I were also real name friends once. When some of us went to fb using real accounts a few still using board names posted things which upset our families. In retrospect I should have created an account just for board members.

H. has tons of friends on FB. A lot of them I don't want them to know what I am doing. In RL too chummy with some of the women. He isn't on my friends list. I added some vacation friends. I also unfollow them because they are always posting restaurants. I do like the option of messaging them.
I use a pen name on FB. I am mostly boring in RL, but I do post the art from classes I take. The children, grandchildren do likes so I know they notice.

I am on FB with my real name. I am friends with several people from YM. I will admit, I am terribly boring, totally a commie, and possibly a bit annoying..... Those who don't care stick around and those who do care...well, they are long gone or have me hidden. I don't really care one way or the other. Doc Pig is on my FB. He comments quite a bit on my stuff. Another guy, I can't remember what his name was here, I don't even know if he is still here, gives me eye rolling emojis all the time. In return, I give him a finger emoji or a finger gif. It is a great FB relationship.

No, absolutely not. I said I was friends with several people from here. I just pointed out the 2 because Doc Pig was mentioned, and the 2nd one because it points to the fact that I said I was a commie and possibly annoying.
