So I know several people that have left FB or are not on it as much and have decided to start either using Instagram or Twitter instead. Here is my take on as to why.
FB has way too much drama and I do think some of it comes from the algorithm that is used to manage the site. For example in Twitter people really just post things like a status in fb, however, you don't get in your tweet feed only things that help feed into whatever you happen have posted about at the time.
Instagram on the other hand in order to post you always have to have some kind of picture. So you are following pics people post. which could be silly stuff, feelings or really anything. When pictures are posted less feelings seem to be involved, and you only get to see the things that you choose to follow. Very similar in the algorithm in FB.
So I challenge people to post only pictures to their fb for a week and see if you notice a difference in the anxiety you feel when you are on the platform and how it affects the algorithm of whom you see.

MMPD
MMPD is a phrase that I like to refer to as MySpace Multiple Personality Disorder. If you spend enough time on the social networking sites like I have you start to notice over time that there seem to be a lot of people that have more then one site and profile for the Social Networking sites. Although this phenomena is mostly seen in the younger generations, you can see it as well with some of the older generations to.
The younger generation seems to use the MMPD for a whole variety of different reasons. Some of them do this to create whole fantasy world's for themselves where they make people believe that they live in places they do not, and live desparate lives so that others will feel the need to sympathize with them and it seems to feed into their fantasy world's.
I have followed this one person that has had a total of three different sites with three different names, two different locations that she says she lives in and even she has even gone as far to have different pictures of people that she is not and on one site she is a white lebanese/rican mix and on the other site she is black. As far as I can tell she does this to fullfil her need to be loved, and to be able to lurker on other's sites that she has an interest in.
I did read a study that stated that some people do this so that different part of their personality can shine through when they create these different sites. I found this to be interesting especially because it does in it's own way create a split personality of the person that has the multiple sites. As I look at this more in detail I will continue to study this and continue to feed the finds on.
