I use Facebook to post pictures of my pets and the wildlife I see in my yard. I steer clear of controversial topics.

Same, I use mine to talk almost entirely about birds (and sometimes food), so my friends list is pretty much fellow bird nerds.

it's important to talk about controversial topics on the internet, just make a anonymous account and never use your normal email, along with a vpn

as Hitler said in his book, not his exact words but something along the line dont talk politics at work because co-workers are a bunch of dumb fucks who dont know anything about the world and got brains of a pea

I never did Facebook. Told everyone when it came out that stuff they posted on it would come back to haunt them decades later. I have no regrets about this decision.

80's and 90's: Don't put your real identity out on the internet / usenet / gopher, etc - you never know what some crazy person is gonna do with that info.

2000's: Post the color of your most recent poop and your most controversial political opinions out there for everyone under your own name. What could possibly go wrong?

Today: Predictable consequences of the retardation of the earlier decades. (eg. addition of normies to the internet)
