Facebook degrading Firefox user experience now? (beehaw.org)

Recently, most images on Facebook have stopped loading for me. Sometimes it's just a few images. Other times it's almost all images. The longer I scroll, the worse it gets. Today, I couldn't even see my own pictures. Are any other Firefox users having this problem, or maybe it's a server issue on Facebook's end?

@TheBaldness it's an ActivityPub alternative to Facebook, kinda. Just like Lemmy is for Reddit or Mastodon is for Twitter.

You do have more privacy options, though, like, you can create a post and only allow visibility from a person or a group of people (let's say people that follow you but you also follow back, lists of people etc.)

There are other alternatives using different protocols, such as Diaspora (where the ownership is different, as in, if you create a post, all the comments below it belong to you as well, I don't know how this works), or Hubzilla which uses AP to communicate with other networks, but uses a protocol called Zot internally.
