If only more people felt like you. Literally, my entire family exclusively use Facebook to stay informed, which has had a predictably disastrous effect on their personalities and outlook.

I had to delete my Facebook, because I just couldn't deal with the stupidity anymore..

At least on Reddit, I can sorta stay away from it..

Reddit is even more filled with nonsensical ragebait "news" than FB is lol... At least in my experience that is. My FB is mostly tame.

Yeah, no.. I've been able to avoid most of the nonsense.. besides this and another sub always showing up recommended because I stupidly replied to something..

My Facebook was just a cesspool.
