I wouldn't post anything on Facebook (or on social media generally) that could be professionally embarrassing but I also don't generally accept invites from people who are solely professional acquaintances or use it in a purely professional context at all.

The age of self censorship :)
I don't post anything on my FB. I'd still reject any employer who wanted to take a look.
Self-censorship is probably a good thing in many cases. And there are certainly things I don't care to share in writing on any public or semi-public medium.
But I agree that even if I can't keep an employer from sleuthing generally, I don't consider Facebook part of my professional record even if there's nothing on there I'd have a problem with a co-worker or potential co-worker seeing.

I find this amusing.
I would also like to know what you hoped to achieve by self censoring the word fucking in your message above.
- HN doesn't block posts with any kind of "profanity" filter - You didn't spare anyone from the profanity, since we all knew exactly what you were saying/thinking
So I'm really curious what that actually achieved.
That one amuses me because of a character in a (iirc) fantasy book that swore all the time but used just -ing everywhere. Sadly I don’t remember what character of which book…
It's Mr Tulip, of Terry Pratchett's The Truth.
