Got off FB in November, looking for places to interact

I haven't been on FB very long and I hardly post anything there.

The scariest part is finding out how seriously deranged a number of relatives and other people who can present as "normal" day to day really are. I seldom even reply to anything, their dementia appears too deep to handle it. Don't get me started on their self-contradictory religious delusions.

There is a real mental health crisis out there.

Welcome. That's a lot of moving. I'd consider leaving California if I could. But moving is expensive and no place is cheap anymore it seems.
When I was living full time in an RV, I was scared of the Midwest but I actually love everything about it except the tornadoes. Now I’m in an apartment so I feel a lot more secure. I find a lot of positives about the Midwest including prices and it reminds me of my childhood. As an Air Force brat, I lived in Ohio and Illinois in the 60s, early 70s.
 
Not by much! Rents have gone up substantially in the past few years. Many are over $1000 a month now. Some are way over.
I think it depends on the size city you are in. But things have definitely changed.

Facebook is a mess. I used to interact with friends and family, but now it's just nonsense, ads, and things I'm not interested in. I'm looking for another social media outlet, but I'm losing hope.

I know what you mean: ➡️

* You post a photo: "Is that your son? He's so c-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-te!"
* You go on holiday: "Stay safe!" or "Have a blast!"
* "If you love the Lord, pass it on."
* "I have three beautiful sons and 2 beautiful daughters and 6 beautiful nieces and 1 beautiful nephew and two a beautiful wife and a beautiful pit bull!"

People posting everything they eat is annoying, along with the silly bathroom mirror selfies.😂😂

I agree with you but perhaps we ought to be tolerant with those who express their loneliness in other ways. Or maybe not. Let's take it in turns. I'll be tolerant this week and you take over next week. We can start a tolerance-pool. 😄
