It's hard to get people to read anything that's just everyday run of the mill stuff. I don't write things with racy, contentious headlines so it misses a lot of people. Some friends get sick of seeing holiday snaps and hearing all the positive things happening, it seems they just want to read about the drama side of things. I've noticed a decline in usage all round now that you come to mention it. I enjoyed your post 😊Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444193007299838588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-60324727207759206542017-09-15T09:34:13.881+08:002017-09-15T09:34:13.881+08:00Sadly, for me facebook has become more of a chore ...Sadly, for me facebook has become more of a chore than a relaxation tool.

I thought that it was because I began blogging and using that format for sharing photos, travel, events, etc. I also thought that returning home from overseas and being retired may also have affected my Facebook use. But your post made me realize that perhaps I have just been avoiding the drama!

Most of my posts are in support of women in some form or family oriented. However, there are those times, that I do feel a need to speak up on a political issue. Reading other Facebook posts on all sides of different important topics does help me keep up on what others are thinking. When I find it helpful I keep reading - when I don't think it is from sound - trusted source - I just don't read it.
