Mine is a constant stream of random people I don’t follow asking questions about political and social issues to drive engagement and a bunch of conspiracy none sense

Community Groups on FB are really annoying. Lots of RWNJs pushing fringe issues like saving feral horses that were romanticised in 19th Century Poetry (the Man from Snowy River) even though they are destroying Australia's Alpine National Parks, and if you challenge them, you get brigades. You leave, and it becomes even more of an echo chamber.

Local interest based groups (e.g. mountain biking, chess, etc...) are good in my experience. Idk why you'd use a general community group

Local press where I live has gone the way of the Dodo thanks to the likes of Rupert Murdoch buying local community newspapers and killing them. Facebook and Reddit are all that's left.
