I aggressively E36 M3post on fb to weed out the people who need weeded out from my friends list. I assume the rest just ignore it but my mother has posted cannibal corpse vids on my timeline before so who knows.

Too bad you don’t have an account. You’re truly missing out on the fun - no not with the general BS of Facebook, but with the groups, and especially some of the secret/private groups. There’s several offhand I think you’d really enjoy.

For those of us who don't do the book of faces, please explain what is meant by E36 M3 posting.
He buys and sells 90s BMWs, almost exclusively.

"E36 M3posting is posting large amounts of content "aggressively, ironically, and of trollishly poor quality" to an online forum or social network, in some cases intended to derail discussions or otherwise make the site unusable to its regular visitors"
I just had to Google it as well. 29 now and I had FB and was at least semi active on it pretty much up through my college years, but I'd mostly sworn off it since. Recently, though, I too have been sucked into Marketplace. And I hate it. Literally everything was better about Craigslist, and I held out as long as I could, but it's dried up badly since the listing fee for auto ads went into place.
I literally just deleted the app. It and Uber. It was time. I am sure I will miss out on lots of... moments (real ones?)... but at some point I have to realize that, with apologies to Garth Stein and every driving instructor ever, the car follows the eyes. We want a different world, we start being different ourselves. Sorry, post about my brother's retirement. Oops, birthday of "friend" I haven't talked to in decades. I will miss my manufactured ideal of what we had together. For a little while.
I post 2-3 times a year. I'm there for the car stuff. It also provides a way to communicate where I don't have to give people my phone number.
I created a FB acct. Because it's required to switch to a business account in Instagram to get analytics. It turned into "groups seem cool but I'll just stick to those" to "look at all this cool stuff on marketplace" to "omg look at these memes on my feed lol" it got to the point I'd seriously become addicted to scrolling (which is why I resisted so long). Sunday after church the wife and I simultaneously deleted the app from our phones. We were beginning to communicate through Facebook tags than in real life and it had to stop. 3 days in and just like smoking the chemical dependency is begining to fade, now it's just the will power to stay away from the app and stick to checking once a day at the actual computer.
I'll admit, I have it. I mostly focus on the groups I'm in, as Pete outlined- and am barely present elsewhere. I'll be honest, it's about all the social interaction I need most days and I can do it while I'm poopin'. Solves two problems in one.
GET OFF YOUR OWN LAWN!!!

At first most of my feed was just group content but then as I friended people their E36 M3 posting started showing up as well. If I could get the app to default to the groups tab and I left some of the groups that are just E36 M3 posting then I could probably manage.
Having a FB account and having the app installed on your phone are two different things. Neither is by any means privacy friendly, but if you have a smart phone with the app, your whole life is broadcast to the data-verse. They know when you poop and what you ate - probably how well you chewed it.
I use one browser on my PC for FB and another for personal and forum stuff, and another for work. Firefox, MS Edge, and Opera. The Google browser 'Chrome' gets used sparingly for a few specific sites too. ...and I don't even have a particular reason to be private. If you're not paying for a valuable online service, You are the product they sell.

It's hilarious, but you just popped up in the "people you might know" area of Facebook.

Wally has quality E36 M3posts. I'm glad I added him.

most of that for me is GRMers. I don't generally friend req anyone simply because I don't wanna be that guy. HAY LOOK AT ME AND MY FACEBOOK PLZ GIVE ME THUMB DOOTS FOR VALIDATION.

If I happen to pop up you're welcome to add me. But I also try not to be that guy so I get it.
I "do" Facebook. Mostly to keep up with family and friends. Joined because that's how the local car crowd posts events and such. I'm also a member of several groups for things I'm interested in. The Hit & Miss group, a couple of camping/RV groups, several off road groups, the local boating group, and so on. I frequent the marketplace as well. It is where all the deals are now and as a general rule it is better than Craigslist.
I don't have thousands of "friends." Just about all of them are close friends, family, or car people. Mostly car people. Any of them that are out to stir up hate and discontent promptly get dumped.
I do post things that I think the car crowd or family would be interested in. Not often but occasionally.

I'll miss those guaranteed mutual "likes," but, yeah, I get it. The signal/noise ratio seems to be changing rapidly in an unfavorable direction there.

I don't even accept most friend requests, which has lead to 130 "followers" who are now either angry that I ignored their request, scammers, Russian bots, or a combination of the aforementioned.

Wally is friends with two people I'm friends with, so it's not completely crazy. I just sent him a friend request based on Daylan's assessment of E36 M3 post quality on his feed.
If I ever pop up as a friend suggestion for anybody here, go ahead and add me if you want to. If you don't, that's cool, too.
EVEN MORE HILARIOUS!

I’ve seriously deleted more “friends” & family I actually know IRL and have added more GRMers, musicians I’ve never met, etc. from the different groups I’m in. I do try to filter out the random friend requests though & I probably deny about 1/2 of them, based either on what I find when searching their posts, or mutual friends we may have.
One of my friends has a very large number of friends from where he uses facebook for networking to find paid gigs. Then I have friends from another forum I was on. And now a couple GRM friends. I also get suggestions to add some of the people I follow on Instagram. I almost never send requests but my "people you may know" list is very deep.
I E36 M3 post often, otherwise I use it for marketplace and some bicycle groups. My Facebook never has any personal drama and man do people delete me pretty fast after adding me sometimes
