I don’t know, my feed is filled with posts from groups I follow (mostly woodworking, photography, and a couple local pages that amuse me) and posts from my friends. There is an occasional odd news story but for the most part I don’t see all the toxic misinformation. Once in a while a freind posts some conspiracy nonsense and I either hide the post or give them a time out but my Facebook is harmless posts that interest me. If an NRA or some other political ad or story pops up I immediately hide it and tell Facebook no more like those. It seems to work well.
Lots of ads though but at least those seem to be based on my searches or other ads I’ve clicked on so most of them are helpful and I’ve even purchased some stuff presented to me.
I guess Facebook is what you make of it and if you don’t want to see the misinformation or divisive stuff it’s not too hard to avoid. My guess is people that are seeing that stuff are seeking it out based on the groups they join or their like minded freinds. Of course I don’t accept every freind request and my freinds are only people I know personally and have actually spoke with on a phone or in person.
If Facebook went away tomorrow I wouldn’t miss it but, for me anyhow, it’s fun and a way to keep in touch with freinds and family especially during this pandemic stuff.
