So this thread made me just go on FB for the first time in forever. I had to look up my password to do it. The only real people are like 60+ year old family posting news clips. Everything else is like the bottom tier trash of the internet. There was some nail fungus ad that had a pair of gross feet photoshopped to look so horrible that it was physically revolting. A bunch of scams. And… freakin Avril Levine what does she look like now!?!! Is Avril somehow the key to all this?

Tree Bucket posted:There is at least one group for fun photos of birds doing dumb things which has been completely swamped with AI-generated rubbish. I guess it's a sort of self-reinforcing loop where people with no interest in AI goop stop posting, and those that find it thrilling and fun keep encouraging it. Somebody - probably over in the Reddit thread - pointed out that once an internet group grows past a certain size the motivation of the posting shifts from sharing accurate information to feeling good. Birds are pretty; birds that are practically neon are prettier, especially to people who don’t know poo poo about actual birds, so the upvotes/likes/dopamine strokes win. The real birds matter to you, and to lots of others but internet people who wandered in because they want to see pretty birds and care less about details like “accuracy” or “tenable possibilities in nature” outnumber you.

i mainly use fb to stay in touch with a few old friends and relatives but i am in in two groups. both boomery but neither taken over by AI crap yet. one is for Far Side comics, which does get occasional people trying to pass off some right wing garbage as a far side comic but its rare. one is for fans of the author John LeCarre, which is just a normal discussion group but we did have to form a second password-protected group because the initial one was taken over by spammers trying to sell couches and no one had the admin keys to get rid of them. its amazing how poorly run the whole thing is

The dumb meme group is ruined by AI bilge and the srs photography group is, well, increasingly hosting the dreaded neon raven. (Very much a minority, but a growing one)

Last year I got permanently blocked from paying for ads (only way to get anyone to see your posts on a band page, otherwise its just 2% of your followers). Still no idea why, cant give fb money even if I wanted to lmao & lol. I got into a paid facebook trial for using their advertising system, and they banned me one week in so all my feedback was "yep still banned, no idea why". They still paid me at least

This thread makes me imagine a gamma ray burst from a supernova wiping out humanity, leaving billions of bots shooting messages to each other while the powerplants run down one by one.

I don't know how but my Facebook experience is still tolerable. Lots of real people still posting stuff regularly and I mostly get recommended stuff that I'm somewhat interested in. Maybe it helps that I'm in the original age group from back when Facebook was only accessible if you had an active college email address and a lot of us just stuck with it. FB Messenger is the primary form of communication for my family and most people I know. It's still a shell of its former self though. I actually miss when people posted about their lives, their opinions, recommendations, etc. Nowadays it's just 90% tired meme sharing.

Society is slowly learning just because you can share every thought doesn’t mean you should. on top of that no matter what your opinion is someone will accuse you of untold atrocities because you expressed sympathy for one group but not another. 24/7 access to world events is not making us smarter just angrier.

Also Facebook took privacy invasion too far and by the like ninth revelation that zuckerberg personally extrapolates every aspect of your personality based on your status updates, everyone stopped posting about their lives because they’re creeped out

I had debated getting on Facebook as some way to reconnect to some people, use marketplace, and maybe somehow figure out what the hell is going on irl around me, but idk.

I did several months of research before buying a car this spring, and now facebook serves me nothing but EV articles with tons of laughing emojis in the comments. There are a TON of boomers who spend hours arguing about EVs on facebook, its a booming industry.

FB is passible if you just don't engage with a bunch of the stuff. gently caress the timeline posts and poo poo. I use it to keep track of local events and shows.. I prefer to use it to organize my own events because the only other populated alternative is Discord.

Facebook is great for hobbies. If you're into hifi gear or analog photography it's where everyone trades gear, but they don't use marketplace just posts in group to make sure you've got not bots.

I love this. Where is the like button? Too bad I'm not on Facebook. I like how facebook automatically selects the "Most Relevant" option when you're reading a thread, that way you miss key comments and bits of information, allowing you to make much more informed replies. It kinda mimics the chaos of a lively group conversation in real life.

I just found the dumbest poo poo on FB. It's like the Mexican Dhar Mann. It's pretty much the story of a woman setting up a special ED teacher because she feels threatened by her, so she can win points with her boyfriend/boss. It's really gross and weird. https://www.facebook.com/Anerielanem/videos/688315890105290/
