Facebook has too many elements of "poisonous Internet": ignorant rants, memes, political correctness, exaggerated display of public affection,...

Gradually, users find other websites to channel their interests and avoid biases, like Reddit, Pinterest, HN,...

It's a serious falacy to assume one will always need a network filled with friends and family.

The same problems you list with Facebook exist on Reddit, too. Reddit is an echo chamber.

One of the great things about family (if you have a good one) is you have to put up with them no matter how much you disagree on the little things. Interest sites like Reddit let people form into their own ignorant cliques without serious personal effort.

It seems to be a fundamental problem of humanity.
