@mairin I've been relentlessly hiding-all from any source of #hottake pollution in my FB feed for ages. There's certainly been an uptick this week.
Facebook is a toxic cesspool second only to Twitter. My solution is to drastically limit engagement by person (frothing ignoramuses) and topic (politics, news, culture wars). I wouldn't have an account at all, but Zuckerberg suckered a percentage of people so deeply that they won't use anything else. It's working for me; YMMV.
