    Default Just keep scrolling, just keep scrolling...

    A family member on FB posts the most ridiculous political memes on FB. Almost all of them are flat out lies. When called out, he basically responds that he doesn't care that they aren't true. I've called him out a few times, his grown children have called him out, but the posts keep on coming. I am going to have to block him.

    I’ve unfollowed so many people because of this.

    Hang in there. I have a family friend who posts things suggesting that Sandy Hook was a hoax. Meanwhile, our best friends live in Newtown and know some of the victims. That doesn’t convince her though.

    You don’t have to block, but I would hide him. You don’t see his posts unless you go looking for him.

    So I actually was going to unfollow him, but I clicked unfriend by mistake...oh well.

    Good for you. I mean, he doesn’t sound like he’s your friend, so why give him that space in your life?

    Thanks! I felt guilty for about a half of second, then I moved on
    It has been so much better not seeing his nonsense!

    You just inspired me to unfollow someone who drives me nuts for similar reasons. No fact checking whatsoever.. she’s an older lady so I initially gave her a pass, but really now.

    Good for you! There's someone else that I am about to unfollow too. She's a total Trump supporter (to each is own), and she posts the meanest things about Democrats.

    I anonymously report the out-and-out lies and end up hiding the rest.

    Which reminds me ... I need to snooze my dad again. (We agree politically, but he digs up some of the weirdest sh!t which he then posts uncritically and it blows my mind because he's the one who taught me how to think critically & skeptically.)
