In this room on my Personal computer, I am always just one click away from being able to log into Facebook. I never ever have done it on this computer, and I never, ever will.

This room is my private sanctuary away from work. As much as I hate it, my personal Facebook has become completely wrapped together with work. There is no way to Separate the two from each other.

Thus the only place I will log into Facebook is on the work computer. And when I am on the work computer, I do not have time to be scrolling through my newsfeed looking for updates from friends and family, as few and far between as they would be.

If I get up from this chair now and go into the other room to look at my Facebook, what will I see?

I will see a lot of posts from local businesses. I will see a lot of posts involving Hawaii. I will see posts from zoos. I will see photos of landscapes and animals and flowers. I will sometimes see a post from family or friends.

BUT..

If family or friends post something I don't like, I will snooze them for 30 days. If when they are un-snoozed they post another thing I don't like.. I will click "the button" to stop seeing posts from them in future.

I won't see any conspiracy theories because every person/business I know who has ever posted one, I have clicked "the button" to stop seeing posts from them.

I won't see any political posts because every person/business I know who has ever posted one, I have clicked "the button" to stop seeing posts from them.

My Question Is -

Why haven't Facebook come up with a way to separate out business from personal? Probably because they don't care or they don't see how much of a problem it can be.

Until they fix this, I've had to take what I consider to be pretty extreme measures - separate laptops, separate phones, without Facebook on any of the personal devices - to separate work from personal.
