I did I had had enough. I only get to surf and browse while waiting for appointments and when I get the odd break to sit down have a coffee, catch up on the latest world events, what research is going on and being completed, browse some craft ideas and see what is happening with friends. And I swear over the last two to three years it has been progressively invaded by cowardly vile racists.
I posted "Busy blocking the pages of hate groups including but not limited to conservatives first the ADL the ACL Britain first UPF and any others I may find....if you suddenly find you aren't hearing from me you may want to consider what it is which you spread.
The holidays and breaks from Facebook just aren't enough.
I'm not interested in hate I am sick and tired of it along with the vile propaganda which has become so common place in recent years....why hate a person for YOUR perception of a label? Why? What does it acheive for you? Does it make you taller? give you a hard on? Do you get their slice of pie at the dinner table if you roasted them enough that day? Besides turning this into a fearful segregated community WTF DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ACHIEVING BY BEING HATEFUL?" This.
Then proceeded to clean my feed.
How to clean your newsfeed:
1. Scroll down your newsfeed and select a disgusting piece you dont need in your life.
2. Click on the little button at the top right of the post.
3. Browse the list of options which includes hiding the person who posted it hiding the app it is from hiding the person or page they shared it from.
And click on your desired option. I mostly stuck with hiding the offending page which was hosting it but some friends of friends vanished too.
It's awesome my newsfeed is interesting again their crap was actually crowding things I wanted to see off my newsfeed.

I do this a lot
I try to resist the urge...the longer they live in isolation they start thinking they are the majority and their attitude and hatred just gets worse they fester.
But it just spoils my day constantly having it thrown at me
Sometimes we have to save our own mental health before we save the world
Yep basically the decision I made....I have enough to deal with most days without such negativity
It might help explain just how bad it is if I explain that I have transfield custodial staff on my friends list.
We trained together in the federal court system...worked together on other sites...I wouldnt trust them to take care of a dog. Nor did the company we worked for they weren't allowed anywhere near custodial work unless it was absolutely last resort....transfield isnt so discerning with its staff.
