i can’t believe i’m saying this, but i’m finding myself enjoying facebook more. the UI and design feels vintage early 2010s, the choice of reactions is nice vs just liking or upvoting something, you can sort the replies by chronology / recent / best instead of being forced to read blue-check morons, there’s an incredible depth of content, hobby groups, local interests, etc that simply couldn’t exist on twitter. it feels more like a forum.
it does also suck, of course, but it sucks in a slightly less grating way than reddit and twitter.
You’re right. I’ve tried to go back a few times, but I find that the ads and the posts that Fb throws into my feed drown out the good stuff. I enjoy seeing posts from a couple of community groups around town, and the few people I know who still post, but there is so much crap interspersed with it that I get turned off.
