It’s fucking annoying. The amount of times I turned off autoplay and sound in my settings only to have it blasted in my face. It just makes me not want to use Facebook, it’s become like a whiney annoying baby whenever I go on it.
We need a new MySpace/Facebook esque platform that isn’t corporate, I highly doubt we will get that, and even if their was an option, most people wouldn’t even migrate.
I was using Facebook as a means to see whats up in my area, everytime I go on now I scroll till I see something interesting, I get a few mins in and decide it’s dead and close out of it.
Facebook once was a great tool for local postings, it’s now gone to shit. I am really hoping to see another platform, preferably in the fediverse take it’s place.
dot com is coming to an end, and people are seeking alternatives, I just hope it isn’t a total fragmentation of the masses.
Now we need a new video platform.
Very grounded in reality and well written thank you. It’ll be a small community for some time, eventually after a year or two I think it will become the new front page for the majority of the current Reddit users.
I feel like most of the general public has no clue what the fediverse is, it truly does take time to grasp.
Small communities are the best communities
