Thanks Marcus. They are a waste of time really, unless one "curates" their own experience by choosing which posts to read, blocking people they don't want to read or just not reading. I have blocked loads of people in FB groups. Many times I do read interesting stories that I genuinely like but it's always a challenge and I always block anyone who demands I read or follow. Needless to say, I have blocked a lot, which makes it a better experience, as I eliminate those I don't want to read.
That particular group I wrote about, ironically was one I thought was the best group, but it wasn't. I intend to move away from these groups or interact only in a certain way that isn't forced or not genuine, because it can be such a stressful experience. Thanks for reading.
