The social media problem is multi fold..

Facebook - While i need to check my friends's life events and keep a tab on what they are up to, i dont want to see the constant tirade of posts regarding their political views.. How ya'll are handling friends with crazy political extremist thoughts, completely ignore those areas ? try to make them sane?

Twitter is even worse, so stopped posting all together and limited my time only to like few tweets .

Alternative to Twitter is Reddit, which you can scroll through for few laughs and that itself will become an addiction.

Finally, i think we need social media at the same time we dont need social media, no amount of filtering and altering the news feed can put us in a place of what we want to see.. So..
