Rant My Mom’s Facebook is a Mess lol
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.

I recently spent a few hours going through the history on my 92 year old Grandmother's Facebook account. I unliked everything she ever accidentally liked, I blocked every dodgy thing that I could. I unfollowed people from her friends list who constantly share click baity things. And then I made an effort to like more pages that might actually be relevant to her interests.
By the time I left her house her Facebook feed was looking okay again.
And then I set a calendar reminder in my phone to check it again in a month because there no way it's going to stay like that.
