MODERATORS
Do people even still use Facebook or has it completely been taken over by bots at this point?
Bots, AI, misinformation/disinformation, hatred, predators and depressed people.
My mental health has thrived having deleted my meta account last year.
You got this, proud of you for taking that step
Hopefully Zuck gets hit where it hurts
Groups, primarily. Marketplace somewhat. The rest is absolute trash.
was gonna say most groups in yahoo went to facebook.
Sometimes I go to fb to see a restaurants page or something, and when I press back it takes me to the front page. Out of morbid curiosity I sometimes scroll a bit, and lately there are so many posts from ~ 30-50yr old people pointing out how many mosques there are (here in Finland), how many people are wearing hijabs, etc. Like its straight up literal xenophobia, fear of foreign people.
right wing magats, mostly boomers/gen xers use it. thats why zuck see it as important to continue to grift from them. also its mostly ai slop anyways.
I left that garbage eons ago. I'm unfortunately Gen-X. There are a lot of us on there. I usually tell people I'm a Xennial now because to be honest, I don't friggin remember anything past 1980. I remember the scary ass fucking puppet lady from Mr Rogers if that means anything lol
to bad as I worry people won't realize how good things can be without a perspective from the 70's. it was not all hams and plaques but its direction was improvement. I often think about how when you were hard pressed to see anything plastic outside of toys that life was pretty nice and convenient enough. As much as I like the internet and computers im starting to feel like there is not a whole lot of quality of life improvements with technology in a general way.
