Wow, Facebook is just about DOA

[Johonny]

Didn’t take long to become the troll farm it was when I last gave up on it. Now every news article has a comment section filled with RW rants and the push bots are throwing Joe Rogan, Kirk, Musk etc . . .

I think Zuck made his choice, and I'm going to make mine. I think the app is dead to me again. Shame as it was much improved over the last 4 years.

1. Does anyone have/know of a script to mass delete (FB) group posts?

Probably will keep messenger for the time being but trying to delete content is a pain (seemingly on purpose). Anything I've come across either doesn't work or things like Redact costs mucho dollars (and probably doesn't work either.

2. You use Facebook for news?

My newsfeed hasn’t changed one bit. But I don’t use it for news or to follow people that aren’t my “friends.” Don’t care about other people’s comments on things I have no control of anyways. Who needs that frustration?

3. I kept Facebook because it was easy to stay in contact with extended family members and

distant friends. Now I don't care anymore. I've deleted all my social media accounts except for BlueSky.

4. Do what I did

Hit the alert button and claim it’s disinformation or some other offense. Did it for a month. No wrong wing bullshit. But I am signing out on Jan 20th.

5. Yeah, I wasted a lot of energy in those comments sections with all these nasty weirdos.

Stopped going over there a while back which helped a lot with my health.

6. I stopped using it a couple years ago.

It's just a giant time waster.

7. I haven't been affected yet, but I block everything.

11. I really notice it on places like Biden's homepage

Which in the past week has returned to the pits of Obama Russian troll bots. Every post appears to be a non-human with 100 likes complaining about say fish over water, or Hunter Biden. This is like suddenly in the past week after Zuck kissed the boot. It is noticeable and what made me move to Twitter. Now Twitter is crap and I found Facebook was cleaner. That appears to be dead with this latest news. Probably YouTube is next. Bulwark gets down selected for guy that thinks the world is flat. We are doomed.

Also the Musk paid push content is unbelievable. There is no way based on my likes, I'm interested in Kirk or Shapiro etc . . . All sendly had to be blocked by me.

14. i probably think it is all sus

marketers know who to sell my pillows to

15. Why is the moderator of Biden's homepage allowing that bullshit to stand?

That's where everyone is going wrong. The more we block, the less their hateful noise interferes with our peace of mind. It's more preferable to put a stop to their mental battering, but it is what it is. Until we get a better replacement to Facebook, it's not going to happen.

I wish someone on our side would buy it from him.

8. As I've stated before

My Facebook activity is very limited, I am basically on Death Watch. The only reason I keep my Facebook account is to be notified when friends or family pass away.

9. I never use Facebook for news.

Just as I never watch Faux "news."

I still am on Facebook for family stuff.

10. Facebook has devolved into a general mess over the past few years.

My feed is 90% accounts and products that I don't follow.

I signed up to keep in touch with friends and family, but it's hard to find friends and family when there's so much junk on your feed.

12. Haven't seen any yet

I use Facebook to keep track of friends and acquaintances who are out of town. I don't think I ever use their news feed.

[LexVegas]

13. That's what you use Facebook for? I use it to see what people from high school are doing 35 years later.

16. Mark Zuckerberg opened the gates of America to fascism via disinformation and the end of "truth"

Mark Zuckerberg is a parasite on American society.

[H2O Man]

17. The boxing forums are good.

Not all of them, of course. But I stay in touch with old friends on the good ones. I also stay in touch with family & friends. I very rarely see obnoxious political posts there, and simply walk around them the same way I would a steaming pile of shit on the sidewalks of life.

18. I'm there under an

assumed name for a buy-nothing group where people give away great stuff. Have to redo a friend’s place who has no $$ and so far have gotten a great rug, sofa, mattress. Way better stuff than Craig’s because it’s from an upscale community.

Wish I didn’t have a need for it.
