The problem with Facebook, for me, is that I spend too much time wading through posts of pictures of people's pets and reports of the trivial details of so many of my friends' everyday lives in search of a few truly meaningful or interesting posts that are actually worth reading. I could also do without the political preaching of some of my friends as well, since I have my own ideas about political issues, and the good manners to refrain from imposing them on anyone else, out of respect for their own views on the subject.
Though I continue to go to Facebook every day, I try to be considerate enough of my friends to limit my posts to the bare minimum, and spare them the tedium of reading every thought that pops into my head or reports of every unimportant event that occurs in my daily life, with the perhaps unrealistic hope that I will thereby inspire others to follow my sterling example.
