Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

It's like going to the internet for parenting advice, except about things that matter way less than the development of a human being

But like with parenting advice, everyone is thrilled to tell you that you're doing it all wrong.

I noped out after everything, I mean everything, on FB boiled down to peoples cats and racist rants.

You got out just in time; the singularity has been achieved, and the entire site is now rants about people's racist cats.

Beat me to it.

I took the Wargames approach to most social media: I never started playing that game.

For me, the biggest issue is how broken their algorithm is on what it thinks I want to see. I have actively blocked stuff that's virtually the same. Why do you persist in posting it to my feed?

I ditched it about 7 years ago when I realized that a substantial number of people who I was “friends” with were now “liking” stuff that then ended up in my feed and found absolutely repulsive. It’s a view into people’s thoughts that I never ever want to see again.

Those people immediately get removed from my friends list.

Because scrolling through your feed clicking 'block ________' on all the pointless gibberish is still you scrolling through your feed, viewing ads.

And i wouldn't even mind that much, if the ads were actually contextualized for my interests. That, and that I frequently don't see posts by friends for days (if ever), are my big dislikes.

I used Facebook long enough that the Memories hold nostalgic value for me, but that's about the only thing I use it for these days. I'm basically never actually in my feed, and when I am it's always a mistake.

There's also always this:
