I pissed off a lady online for telling her to shut up about things she never experienced. Then I asked her if you are going to hold an eternal grudge about slavery why not get angry with the West African countries who were very active in the slave trade
On FB I get bombarded with Afrocentric stuff that I keep blocking but still get more. I got fed up and just started going after ppl in comments. Same thing happens during pride month. You block one lgbt group and 10 more come at you
I highly recommend simply logging off and refusing to use such a site and I do it myself. There are only very specific niche parts of the internet that I'll hang out in these days, everything they do is designed to provoke a reaction out of somebody. I've been warning about this constantly but they're going to be kicking this annoying behaviour into overdrive and I bet that the people you're trying to respond to are NPCs to begin with. They're not there to have a conversation and they aren't real human beings. I refuse to use twitter and facebook even though it would technically benefit me if I got traction, I just care about my own mental health more.
I second this. I un-installed it on a pay as you go phone back in 2017 to make room for an update, thought to myself '...but what if I leave it off my phone...' and haven't looked back. My life has been cleansed.

Yea, I have a massive extended family so FB is a great way to keep up with everyone but I really should get off of it

I gave up on FB like 5 years ago and do not regret it one bit.
