I'm a member of a Facebook support group. I don't know these people but we have one thing in common (it's health related).
When I've needed it, it's been a great network and place to go for advice. I try to pay it back by responding to others. But...
I'm am getting increasingly frustrated by the number of people who use it as a place to post random things. Not motivational posts but "I'm thinking moving house" "my relative died" and "I had a fight with my partner / parent / kid and want to vent". To each to their own and clearly some of these people are lonely and in need of a friend.
I also find some of the off topic content insensitive (eg one of the treatment options is a full hysterectomy so not really the place for a pregnancy announcement, and yes it has happened). I messaged the mods a while back but nothing has changed.
So yes, I know I can turn off notifications or only visit the page when I need it but tbh if need support I don't want to see that stuff. There are other forums for the unrelated stuff and the venting (hi mumsnet).
AIBU to expect people within a support group to stay on topic? (Or am I being overly sensitive about it?)
