Stop arguing

I need to do this, tempted to come off Facebook too. Full of utter melts and goons laughing at tragedy. I only stay there because there are some good groups I'm in, but it's getting harder to stay.e)

So I went into the office today (I’m usually based at home)

Was having a conversation with someone who doesn’t use Facebook other than to connect with long distance family /friends but felt he had to block two of his friends/followers/whatever they are cos of stuff they’d written about Southport

Like I say. Stop arguing you melons.

I repeat again what I have said before. There are some amazing people on here. I don't use any other social media as it is a toxic mess. I wake up at 7am every day put on the news, then 5 minutes later, turn it off. I pick up my phone and then put it down again. I went for a walk tonight, bought a pint of coke, just sat and listened to the owls, came " home" and spent an hour chatting to a 16 year old lad again. There is no need to argue. I think I have raised my voice twice, just be kind people
 
I left facebook years ago, it just irritated me all the time, and made me question my own sanity. This week I finally left fb messenger. Everytime I leave stuff like that, I feel a weight lifting off my shoulders. need to get off X now, reading thousands of strangers opinions is not a healthy pursuit.

I deleted (or deactivated whatever Musk calls it) my Twitter account the other day.

Utterly fed up with the toxic stuff about Trump and the thoughts of the likes of Dan Wooton about Southport. And the other right wing nonsense they push my way.

Sad I know. I will miss the musings of Jeff Stelling and other random celebs I follow. Oh well.

You can use it how you please. Follow whoever you want to follow and see only content from them.

Is your name Hew?…….Sorry couldn’t resist it.😀
In all seriousness, this is the only social media I do, Mrs Woodall lurks on Twitter but doesn’t post, but some days I have to say to her “ Just get off Twitter”. Most of it is sad trolls who need to get a life.

Fully aware of this - it defaults to the For You page. Which is over run by the nonsense I’m talking about:

I tried muting words like Farage and trump but it still finds posts about farage and trump to show you.

Most of all I got fed up with follower requests from spam accounts. All young women wearing very little. Sorry girls but you’re barking up the wrong tree there.

It’s a ***show now.

Plus anything you follow will have paid blue tick bot accounts arguing and spouting shoite under their tweets
 
I don’t see much arguing on here or the other things people complain about, I suppose it’s because I’m not interested in the topics that draw such responses so I never look at those threads.
I was off here for 3 years until recently because ‘the nob head to decent person ratio’ was too out of sync but it seems ok now!
 
I've said it before and will keep saying it, I've personally not found a place on the internet that's more ready to listen and support each other. You'll always get trolls rearing their heads to try to provoke, but (whilst I don't like to use it personally) that's what the ignore button is for. You'll never get rid of all of them anyway sadly.
 
The only thing with this board is that people are quick to throw out an insult at someone just for having a differing opinion. I highly doubt they would do the same in person.

Not disagreeing in the slightest, quite the opposite because it's demonstrably true. There are far worse places for this though.

I tell you what lad.

There was a time not long ago when you wouldn't have said this. I think you should be proud of yourself and the journey you are on. I think you are close to finding your peace.

Sometimes (and not as infrequently as people might think)
Posters on FMTTM have an ability to warm my heart.

This is one of those moments

Yep. There’s at least one on this thread. Possibly two, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
