On political pages, yes. Often.
On my own personal page, rarely.

Re: Do You Discuss Politics on Social Media?
Social media is a turn off. Call me a killjoy, but I can't bring myself to be attracted to the trivia of your daily life or the ability to share mine.
And to constantly monitor all of it.
What you are about to eat or drink, what your kids are doing, what your pets are doing, your vacation photos, etc. It's like those Christmas "letters" people send each year documenting what each family member has done since last January. Or Christmas postcards that are really just kid and/or pet photos.
I'm simply not interested.
It would probably work better if those personal and family photos and trivia were shared with only one's
very best friend or closest family circle.

Re: Do You Discuss Politics on Social Media?
Everything you said here is a common complaint I here. But the thing is, social media is what you make of it. Nobody forces you to post daily. Nobody forces you to have 1,000 or more friends or followers. Social media can be enjoyable and much more manageable by simply limiting the size of your friends list.screen glare wrote:Social media is a turn off.

Re: Do You Discuss Politics on Social Media?
The term "friend list" is a misnomer. Most of these lists are made up of people one rarely interacts with or has ever interacted with on a personal level.bmw wrote: For many it becomes a competition for who has the biggest uh... friend list.
Perhaps a more appropriate term would be "audience list".
