Good. Social media was only ever the corporate commodified communications platforms.
Bye guys, guess none of us are really here
“your honor, in my defense my website sucks. like really sucks. like try using it for a good purpose. it is inherently evil.”
Yeah I wonder who could possibly be responsible for that… Tis a mystery
Well I say Mark Zuckerberg is over.
So you going to shut down Facebook right Mark? Right Mark?
Hahaha, not a fast learner… Own it bro, FB is over…
Clearly the solution is to spread more conspiracy theories. People are obviously leaving due to the lack of conspiracy theories.
Has been for a while. If you look at most recent marketing analysis, numbers weren’t like they were peak pandemic and 2016. It was declining since then, you just chilling with bots mostly.
I would probably think that too if I ran Facebook.
Has been over for a while. Unless you call ads social media. It’s all ads.
Right. They got greedy and made it more shitty for profit. Users left and now its one of these free weekly papers with ads and classified ads. Now they are considering filling the gap of missing user content with AI so it will be a circular system without humans at one point.
He should know, he fucking killed it
So he’s trying to declare Game Over to avoid accountability? Fuck that.
probably also somehow related to theads being federated
It’s such an easy fix too. Create a separate wall that only contains your friends’ OC (not reshared garbage).
It’s about 3 posts per day for someone with 200 friends, but I’d take it.
You actually can nearly do that. Facebook inexplicably showed me how a few weeks ago. If a friend reshares something, you’ll see it, but it removes all groups, etc. It was stunning how little content actually comes from friends.
On the Facebook site (I’m sure it can be done via app, too, but I didn’t look), click on the menu near the top right, then click Feeds (under Social). Then click on Friends on the left.
Wow, is does. Thanks for that
So… original, unshittified Facebook?
I wonder if a fediverse version of that would resonate with any of my friends and family. Seems like we are where we started with forums, just strangers respectfully taking about their common interests. Social media is indeed dead.
I’m amazed that’s not what FB still is. I apparently bailed before the worst of it because I don’t recall seeing random people’s posts on my feed.
Last time I logged into Facebook I noticed a lot of the recommends included feeds of attractive women. I mean, I like women with gyatts, butt clearly their algos have been fine tuned on what kind of content they serve: sexual content and alt-right garbage
I miss the good old days when it was just updates from friends.
Too late for that. We have TikTok now. Everyone needs a new dopamine hit every 3 seconds and god forbid you run out of new things in your feed.
The era of social media IS over. Even if you make a good one.
check out the Fediverse…
I’m here. Ain’t no billions of people rushing to join us.
Not necessarily a bad thing.
Thought this was a press release thing… Like: Social media is dead… Now it’s “Meta-media” dabs as crowd collectively faints
