I use it for pinball, but mostly to stay in touch with scattered family. I don't do political posts or pass along any of the garbage that clutters up most accounts. If you monitor your setting and turn off the tracking and limit everting to strictly friends, it isn't a bad place. Get rid of what you don't want to see. Social media can be a good thing for you, but like everything else, it needs to be in moderation, and you need to understand and pay attention to what you are doing, and what you are agreeing to. I do the same with my cell phones....I am way more scared of them and what they do than I am of anything in facebook. lol
