Stop telling me how great your lives are and where in the world you are. Stop posting shit that might mean something to you but not to me.. whatever happened to people meeting up and chatting, and worst of all Facebook pretends to be your friend when it fucking is not.
I had 369 'friends' when I was on it, 2 of them were actually my friends, and one of them I did not like.

Facebook is a tool like any other. It depends on how you use it. You don't like what your friends post? Unfollow them and follow people and things generating content you do want to see.
No one is required to cater to your tastes. Some of us actually do like to celebrate our friends' successes and travels....and still find time to meet up IRL.

Is it really any more virtuous to come here and give us a status report than it would be to make one there?
I mostly use Facebook to keep up with people with my interest in plants and gardens. Along the way I've picked up relatives who don't annoy me, RL friends who I see less frequently (and have subsequently gotten to know better) and a few who post pictures of dogs like my own. Oh and there is quite a lot of humor there as well as videos of people and animals doing cool stuff that I enjoy seeing. I confess to being intrigued by the occasional recipe though staring at something really yummy looking the I'm not going to eat mostly just makes me want more of what I'd like to want less of, so I feel you there.
