I do use facebook and twitter, but generally ignore political posts, reshared posts, ads and news.. what's left you ask? good question, not much.. It's sad that, for me at least, it's still the only place where I can keep a casual link to the people I know, where I don't have to be very active to seek out those connections, or work to maintain them, but I still find comfort in knowing that IF I wanted/needed to, I could reach out to an old classmate or acquaintance. It fits my type of personality well, not having to be actively maintain a casual connection to a hundred people, yet still be able to have a slight sense of what's going on... For news, I don't seek them out much, HN is my daily source of new interesting stuff.. (I find it similar in some way to fazed org back when.. though more technically focused). I have subscribe to a few RSS feeds, worldnews and a few others on reddit that I peruse once in a while, but not even weekly.. Along with hackaday feeds. I do visit gossip sites daily, to glance over the headlines, but I rarely click on them, it's more of a meta-thing, getting some idea of what society is interested in, rather than trying to find out what's actually happening (which I don't think you can from those sources anyway)
