Facebook won’t ever recapture that old feeling. But Friendica has it.

    I’ve deleted the Facebook app off my phone, and started just checking in once or twice a day to see if any cool trips are being planned.

    My feed is mostly sponsored posts and meme pages now, and that’s not what I’m there for.

    Facebook seems to have forgotten what their site is supposed to be for, which is connecting with people you know.

      That’s what you thought it was for. It was always for profit. Their goals and yours may have just better aligned before. Once they achieved mass addiction they had the ability to decouple their profit strategy from your perogative.

        I mean, there’s a reason they’re going back to the old Facebook, or are claiming to. You need people to actually use your platform to make money off them.
