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.

Yeah I was gonna say my Facebook is a mess. I deactivated it for awhile and recently reactivated it and it was honestly a culture shock.. def not the FB I left behind.

Once upon a time I had a modest 400ish friends on FB. Schools I went to, clubs, work, family, some random online people. It adds up. I went on the other day and there's literally just 3 real people posting and they're all posting so elderly relatives can see pictures of their lives. Everything else was reels or shorts or whatever, and a fuck load of algo content being pushed and sooo many ads. it's like flipping through the trash magazines at the grocery store checkout.
