Time to make adjustment to Facebook settings.

Enough time has passed to know what friends can handle the truth, and what friends are best to exclude from political exchanges. I would like to separate the two. I already looked into the Group option, but I think that goes too far. The best option would be if the SHARE option allowed me to separate like-minded souls from everyone else. But, after reading all the how to advice, it seems like a tedious task to include or exclude people EVERY time I post.

Any shortcuts?

1. Use friend lists.

Either create a list of people you want to see political posts, or one that includes those you want to exclude, and then use your privacy settings when posting to control who sees what. Just remember that FB will remember your choices from one post to the next.

Zuckerberg is not a good person. He has shown this a lot lately and he will continue to show it even more. Stop supporting someone who is NOT using his power for good, my feeling is he is going to end up ultra-libertarian like the Kochs etc.

That way, most of my political posts go to "Custom", "all friends" except "no-politics". If I feel everyone needs to see it, I'll adjust it temporarily under "Custom".
