- amelius 5y agoIf you unfollow people, Facebook will just fill the gap in your newsfeed with more stupid memes and ads.
- itake 5y agoI certainly could curate my following list more, but that takes too much time. Manually unfollowing ~1.1k is boring. Also, I am in FB groups b/c at one point they were important to me (like looking for housing in SF). I don't exactly want to leave the group b/c I know I will need it later, nor do I want to deal with unfollowing all of the groups I don't are about.
- nmstoker 5y agoSounds like being the FB equivalent of an IRL hoarder! Why not drop out the groups and rejoin in the unlikely event you really do need them later? Most people I know get by very well with no FB groups at all.
- itake 5y agoI've certainly done left and rejoined before. I worry that Group moderators might not allow me back in (either they stop accepting new members or get annoyed at someone for jumping in and out). Also, there is some friction with joining Groups. Group owners ask filter questions and delay admissions by days. You can "unfollow" groups, but that requires a few clicks. FB groups are the best way for me to find roommate-style housing. "{city|country} expat" Groups help me plan my travels and answer questions. I don't know of other platforms that provide this service for me at low costs.

- civilized 5y agoRemember that time when they were constantly pushing us to watch terrible videos on their platform? Maybe you can curate it if you really work at it, but... ugh
