Facebook won’t ever recapture that old feeling. But Friendica has it.
I won’t know because I deleted Facebook.
Just took a look at Friendica for the first time last night. It’s wild how something as simple as proper post formatting and wide open attachment options are enough to make me wish all my friends were on it. Way more personal feeling.
gently harass them until they relent and try it? let the website to phoneapp pipeline do its thing.
Good luck getting all the boomers off there.
Don’t need all, just enough. The rest will leave when they die.
And you don’t have to convince everyone, just the folks in your life.
Removing sponsored posts is a good start… Also, sort by date for posts…
I know they would follow Fortnite.
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.
So, are they going back to where every post starts with “is”?
