(24,324 posts)I do not engage in any political discourse.
I probably have some 'friends' who lean right, I don;t know, but if any of them post anything that I see in my news feed, they are toast.
I am a still active retired musician who, while not exactly famous (whew!), is known in my field throughout the world. I have real and, thanks to FB, "FB" friends in many countries -- mostly classical musicians, ballet dancers, artistic types, a few sailors, instrument makers,etc. Also just old friends.
This is how we stay in touch with each other. I learn a great deal from many of these people, often through private groups, can buy and sell instruments and accessories pertinent to my profession through a couple of other private groups...
90% of the time I use my desktop, but also my cell, especially when traveling.
I had a 1 hour call last night with 2 dear friends in Graz, for free, using FB messenger. Sure beats hell out of Verizon, which is still tying to over charge me for cell use on a recent trip to Japan.
I don;t doubt what others say, This is just my experience.
