As Dave said, it is a valuable tool.
I block anyone I don't want to see. I block political posts. I choose the people from whom I want to see posts. The pictures and conversations with family, grandkids, old friends are great. As with anything, it can be abused. Aspirin is good, but you don't need the entire bottle at once.
I was starting to get upset about all the people using their phones while I was playing, but I discovered that a lot of them were "googleing" the songs I was playing and looking up songs to request. Some of them are trying to play "stump the band", but I have news for them--if they can look it up, I can too!
I'm still learning to not judge so quickly and keep an open mind.
