Also, the bulk of my friends on Facebook, by and large, regurgitate garbage 'viral' content I have no interest in.
Links to interesting content for me, are on Twitter, Bandcamp and YC.
The upside is that time is an easy pivot to understand, and if someone close to you posts something and immediately asks you "do you see my post?", it's trivial to answer with confidence.
It would be nice if Facebook exposed controls to allow users to sort their news feed - by time and by whatever other metrics they're currently using.
The point being, any usable social network will have to filter user postings.
Yes, I've gone through the "like/follow/show all posts" dance several times.
It was a long time since I had < 100 friends, so I'm willing to believe the current model is broken for small amounts of Facebook relations.
