This all seems to have gotten utterly out of hand and gone a bit crazy.<p>I stopped using Facebook when my friends started to express political views more than social content. I wanted a place to hang out with friends, not rage. People don't do that in real life. Not that much, anyway.<p>Somehow it seems like over the next five years or so it all descended into madness and everyone became a politician.<p>What went wrong?<p>How can Facebook even be used to 'spread a narrative' if it's just my friends? Why are my friends posting this nonsense rather than stuff about their lives?<p>Something just doesn't add up to me. I don't understand what other people want from a social platform.<p>The same seems to apply to Twitter. Everyday, normal people, seem to be spending their lives raging at each other. What gives?<p>I want a pint now. Damn. The real world is stranger than fiction.
