Great advice, especially the part about avoiding drama. Whenever I’m tempted to respond to a post I find disagreeable, I shut it down and go outside for air. Breathing is a great alternative to arguing.
Well, and it’s not productive. A good faith debate is highly generative. But that’s not how social media works. It doesn’t allow for nuance. You have a good strategy. Step away, get some air. Good 😊
Share some fun, chat with friends, talk about writing - your own and others, send a few hugs. Everything else? Avoid, avoid, avoid... It's like a never-ending family reunion. We all know how those turn out when the drunk uncle gets rowdy...

Exactly. Avoid the drunk uncles on social media lol
I believe all the obnoxious drunk uncles are now on social media. They got kicked out of all the other places, lol!
Is my uncle on here now? Last I talked with him was at an Irish pub where he loudly made jokes about the STDs he got in the 70s lol
