On FB, do you unfollow, delete, block, or allow things that you don't agree with

Usually, I tend to engage but if that fails I tend to unfollow. If it gets bad I will delete the person as a friend. However most of the time it is easier to unfollow or just block a particular post.

No, I don’t try to exist in an echo chamber.

I don't feed the trolls. I only have Facebook to observe, not interact.

Same. I maybe login once or twice a year. Otherwise, it’s empty noise so I can keep my bumble and tinder accounts

No. I screenshot some crazy shite and send it to other friends. Vegan posts are the best honestly.

You should upgrade to ultra, it's well worth the extra $350

Why would I do any of those things just because I don't agree with someone?

“Unfollow” is the best tool, ever. It lets you completely ignore people you hate without them ever knowing. I use it extensively.

I mean pretty obvious if you delete someone you arenjo longer a "friend" if you unfollow you no longer see their post, if you block you don't see their post and they can't see yours, if you allow the everything is shared

I don’t censor people I disagree with, but I definitely get censored for thoughtcrimes...

Which should tell you something.


It’s a shame some people can’t realize that they can vehemently disagree on things and still be friends.

I log on to FB once a week or so just to see if I missed anything (I usually haven't). I dont engage with anyone for any reason unless they're a close friend or relative AND it pertains to them personally, ie a picture, personal announcement, etc. Everyone gets three strikes. Post anything of a political nature three times and you get unfollowed. Memes are a special case. Post one political meme and that's an unfollow.

I've unfollowed about half my list so far.

I fricking hate engaging in FB, shite platform for it and too many bystanders.

I’ll unfollow or delete depending on the person.

Why would I unfriend someone just because we don’t agree on things? I’m not a fascist like these democrats

It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. I disagree with a lot of people I'm very close to IRL and we get along fine. It's that nobody is trying to have a reasoned debate on social media, and original thought is practically nonexistent. By the time Aunt Sally posts it on FB it was already run into the ground 6 months ago. frick it. All of it.

I'll look at your cat videos all day. Just spare me Sean Hannity's or Rachel Maddow's latest hot take.

I've unfollowed plenty of people that flooded my feed with political schlock. I want to see dogs and beer and travel pics, not the latest clickbait headline.

Unfollow but a lot of times I just scroll. That said, if it's something obnoxiously annoying then I'll consider unfriend

frick the political posts on FB from both sides.
