For me it depends on how I feel. I do find I will pop on and check it a few times a day but lately because I feel so down I find I go on there and feel indifferent or more down and I close it right away.

What I hate in Facebook are all of the news things about the environment, tortured and abused animals and stories of horrible injustice. I get so upset when I see them and it makes me hate humanity as a whole (and that is not me)

I treat it as a public place because it is. I live very far from most of my family so it's a good way to keep in touch with them and let them see what's going on in my life. I also do photography (or did) and used it to share my pictures with friends and family.

I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or a honeymoon phase or whatever but since I joined this forum I've been spending next to no time on fb and most of my time here :-)
