Facebook is just fine

Craig Mod:

“My newsfeed is almost all signal. This is, in part, because I am ruthless. If you are overtly negative (which is different than having opinions differing from my own), you get hidden. If I don’t find value in your postings, you get hidden. If you’re a high school friend I friended just to be nice, I hide.”

One of the smartest things I’ve read about social networks in ages. They’re not inherently terrible (mostly) — they’re an honest reflection of your own choices & what you volunteer to see.
