Eh I wouldn't have known a friend died if I didn't occasionally log into FB.

I wouldn't have known that my best friend from middle school lost her house.

I wouldn't have known that a family member was pregnant.

But yeah, I feel like news stuff is better curated elsewhere, because outrage keeps eyeballs viewing, so algorithmic feeds tend to highlight it.

Wait... how?

Your family only communicate via facebook?

I'm not judging here, I'm genuinely curious

It was a cousin on my dad's side, they don't live near me and we just don't talk that much directly.
