I opened Facebook for the first time in months yesterday, and I was surprised at the amount of pro-CPC posts and comments. It's like the opposite of the pro-Carney posts I've seen here.

It seems like we've segmented ourselves by platform.

Isn’t Facebook mostly for retirees playing freemium games nowadays?

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago

That and bots trying to show dissent and get the worst option voted into countries.

I thought Facebook was supposed to personalize your information bubble?

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago

All I get are horny Reels, complaining from geriatric relatives, and ads stuff I searched for elsewhere. So the personalization is a bit weak.

Facebook has been manipulating information for years. It's one of the big reasons that hate is on the rise honestly.

Same after 2 months off to see a live stream with a family member and wow, pure garbage.

Why would you expect anything else? I thought everyone knew that's the type of thing you find on Facebook?

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The interesting bit is that they have their own lil bubble over there, while we're in our own lil bubble over here.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

That's fair. I haven't had Facebook for at least a decade (definitely more haha). All I hear is just conservative boomers really occupy it anymore. But yeah, I guess I shouldn't assume. We all know what that does. I'd agree with Lemmy being a bubble as well. Good point.

I was banned from Facebook because I was getting too responsive to the hate posts pushed by bot accounts. Facebook is a dead website. You’re not seeing real people post. It’s all bots and Ai now.

Convince your family/friends to switch to Friendica!
