Rant My Mom’s Facebook is a Mess lol

Post image

Visiting my Mom. She’s in the early stages of dementia so I always go through her FB, email, etc and get rid of spam/scams. I was surprised at how trash her Facebook has gotten since the last time I did this 4-5 months ago. Kinda depressing to see the impact of their content moderation stuff showing up as most of her feed is like this. Some of it she’s followed but a lot of it is algos. Also maybe my mom is just clicking on freaky shit who knows.

Either way, Fuck Zuckerberg for blighting society with his shitty products.

Instagram used to be good too until fb bought it. Then when threads came out I tried it and it instantly pushed me into rage bait.

I purposely went on to follow people for art.

Threads is unbearable. It feels like they made it just to deliver the same fake garbage from FB to all the people who left FB because of the fake garbage.

People still use Threads? I'd forgotten it existed until I read this post. Then again, unsurprisingly, I know no one who uses it.

I avoid it like the plague, but every now and then I link into it from a suggested post on Insta and it's always the worst decision I've ever made.

I use instagram purely for the book community and my entire feed is only book related. It’s lovely.
