I miss the option. Most of the time I don't care about my "friends' " posts. I just want to follow my news/scientific/artistic/academic outlets.

In hindsight, FB is probably not for me. But social media is an important platform for all content now.

The 1,000+ "friends" I have in FB can just dissapear for all I care. I say "Friends" because they are really only acquaintances. I really only have around 5 true friends

I might just open an account to follow my target media w/o friends. Does anybody know any other solution? Trying to follow things like Nature/Science (the journals) and other journals, Medscape, CDC, news sources, museum pages, authors and artists, learning communities, etc. I could suscribe to newsletters and such, but I would have to manually check everything individualy.
