there are some remarkable instances of bad behaviour in there already, but imagine being the sort of product team that thinks users being gaslit by a chatbot that they couldn’t even consent to choose to use is totes something to deliver without any modification or remark

    For me Facebook no longer works. I don’t know if it is just facebook being weird, or a combination of adblockers which they are trying to fight against, but when I go to facebook I see 4-5 posts of people I follow, and then an endless list of memelike ‘you might be interested in this’ joke etc posts it is mega weird.

    Edit: now I see only 1 post from my friends/family. I need to shift-f5 to see a different one. The rest is all ‘follow this generic thing you don’t care about (a % of which are also sexist/racist so well done there FB, even saw a Yukio Mishima meme)’)

      Yeah it gives me groups. Most are relevant to my interests! But I mute them all cos that’s not what I’m there for.

        Muting them doens’t even work, it is only for 30 days, and I never see a friend posts when this is going on. It is just endless new crap. I have no idea why, but I don’t care enough to find out, don’t think I go there more than once a month at most.

      Same. Some days are worse than others: a couple groups I follow, maybe a person I follow, then 17 ads or random pages or groups. Then 2 or 3 I follow, etc.

      Often the posts from people/groups I follow are days or a week old and I’ve seen them many times but never clicked on them.
