@blackbird: wow! That was fast

@WinterBee: I agree. I deleted mine too!

Facebook stuff doesn't bother me mainly because I don't see it In real life, while I admire Crossfit, it's the only thing people talk about when they get into it.

I don't think I've ever talked too much about knitting or sewing. Unless anyone wants to hear about the half finished quilt I have in my basement?

Although I'm sure I post too much policy wonk stuff for my more conservative friends!

I've unfriended anyone trying to sell me crap and unfollowed all the religious fanatics, even worse, old aunts and uncles ranting about politics whenever it's time to vote! Argh. The thing that gets to me? #cleaneating when they tag a salad with cold cuts in it!

@Mrs. Microscope: Ohhh! That is the worst. I agree!!

If I don't like it, I unfollow them.

In general though- it doesn't matter if I find it annoying because if they're truly my friend- then I want to know what's going on in their lives! That's why it bothers me when people complain about moms who post too much about their kids, their hobbies, etc- because why are you friends with them if you don't care about their lives.
This is essentially what Facebook and Instagram are for, right?

The only thing I cannot stand is self promotion with all the jamberry, body by vi, advocare, etc. but I can unfollow, and in some cases I've politely requested they stop inviting me to their events.

I unfriend those who post offensive things regarding other religions, people who are too political, and the dude who posted pics of aborted children (AWFUL).

I post a ton of pics of H on IG, but whatever.

Well, I guess I'm glad that all of my friends are into our fancy bikes. Wow, that's a lot of vitrol.

Not IRL but I am so over seeing pics of shakes, mascara and lip stains on FB. Always to promote a work from home business, always 20 odd posts a day.

@Mrs. Microscope: My SIL posts a lot of pictures of her kid, but she does them all at once so FB groups them. So it's only one actual post. If she spread them out it would drive me nuts.

@Mrs. Jacks: Funnily, in my experience with my friends/family, it's the exact opposite. My atheist friends rarely post anything that would clue you in that they're atheist (other than maybe just the fact that things are clearly overall very liberal), but my religious friends/family post about it ALL the time.

@Mrs. Jacks: I personally find your joke to ring true for me! I'm Christian and personally I get way more "Christians are religious nut bags" or "Christians need to join the 21st century" posts on FB more than the other way around. I also had a vegan ranch dressing recipe and grand opening of a new vegan restaurant posted to my feed in the last 24 hours, in addition to a post about why gluten is why Americans are fat.

@Chuckles: Usborne books have been around forever! I remember my mom buying them when I was a kid.

The only thing I outright notice (and block) are people who post videos and photos that are totally meant to disgust/terrify/offend. One person was always posting videos of popping/bursting pimples and cysts...WHY?! Or posting the most gory details of current news stories (child abuse, etc)- if I wanted the details, I would go looking!
But really, I post a lot about baking and my kid, so I'm sure I annoy people too.

Ummm sorry guys but paleo dieting and following a religion aren't hobbies. It's funny how people love to find any way to start hating on certain interests.

@sarac: I love fancy bikes and anything bike related so no bad feelings from me. I used to post a ton about running but I just stopped posting on FB altogether because I felt self conscious about inundating their FB feeds with my crap!
