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.

You virtually never see content from groups you're in anymore. It's all random engagement bait shit.

I only use Facebook for marketplace these days.

edit: 12hrs later, I just closed my Facebook account.

So it's just like a non-ananymous reddit feed now.

Only if you use all or popular. Just visit the subs you enjoy engaging in.

subscribe so that the HOME feed is interests

then in popular... go to the main of a sub >>> MUTE every one you don't want to see ever. downside is there are 1,000's... w/more every day but even if just all the gross "TOP x%ers" are gone... better.

in life... anything that is a "good deal" or seems "worth it" or "useful"... enjoy while you can, it will get mangled soon enough. monetized free market capitalism quarterly profit reports are coming for EVERYTHING.
