Yeah, this one seems intuitive.

I've got several friends (on Facebook) who have posted memes about mental health, then they take a hiatus from FB for a while.

It really does seem unhealthy. Everybody is comparing their own life to everyone else's best facade.

Tip: just unfollow all your friends.

Then you can use FB for events and messages, without getting depressed by other people's posts.

It's also pretty humorous to see zero posts whenever logging in.

Ok, but some people don't use facebook for this, but instead for communication & sharing things they find enjoyable or interesting.
