FB for the Groups

I first joined Facebook in 2006 before many people had heard of it.  One had to sign up with a connection to an educational institution.   I accumulated hundreds of friends during the initial and subsequent years. By 2018, I was completely fed up with the platform. It had too much of my baggage and too much useless noise!  I deleted that account when one had to jump through hoops to get rid of all the data it had scooped up. 

A good six months later, I knew that I could handle a new account a little more reasonably and with much more finesse.  I simply sent friend requests to a couple of dozen people, those from whom I actually wanted to hear.  I continued to make it a habit to keep just one month of my posts online.  Now, there seems to be a major shift away from sharing on Facebook. That is okay and probably better for the whole of society. 

In 2021, I wouldn't have thought I'd have become a fan of FB GROUPS.  I do have to admit they are a great way of learning about new hobbies. I don't follow the posts in my own feed, but simply chose GROUPS from the menus, when I want to catch up.  Being able to select people with a similar interest can be educational.  It is nice having a reason to log on to Facebook now.
