I hadn't ever experienced Facebook as anything I felt control over until a few weeks back, when I started ruthlessly pruning stories from people who are serial clickbait sharers. Then I found a few pages (seal watching photos, small town news for my hometown, and urban development) that interested me and set them to always show at the top of my feed. Next I set five or so friends as my best friends. Now, when I log in I get updates about my close friends and my interests, as well as knowing whose birthday it is. If I want news, I can look at the trending news items, where they actually write headlines correctly.
