I wonder if they got mine wrong or something. It just got so filled with low quality slop and ads that I stopped wanting to go. When it's a human, it's never my actual friends saying something funny anymore. I just check up on my dad's latest bird photos there every once in a while.

If they'd just kept Facebook like it used to be, then I'd still be posting there.

They are complete dog shit.

Algorithmic feeds are the problem here, which are exacerbated by features like autoplay and infinite scrolling. Users should by default only be served content from channels they explicitly chose to subscribe to. Algorithmic feeds should be separate from this subscription-based feed, and only bleed over if subscribed to said channels; which shouldn't be any different for shorts (only showing shorts from subscribed-to channels, if not hidden altogether when preferred). Simply put: make timelines finite again, by not endlessly resupplying it with spam; which includes the unhealthy amount of "sponsored content".

I hope that's not a load-bearing "likely."

Meta will now have the chance to defend itself, but if the Commission’s decision is made final, Zuck and Co. could face a noncompliance fine of up to 6 percent of its worldwide annual turnover. In 2025, that was $200.97 billion, meaning a potential fine of up to $12 billion.

Ditto here.
