engagement hacking go brrrrrr

fullbeef.bsky.social•26 days ago

Other than this site, its my only social media. I reset my IG algorithm in the lead up to the election (for fun?). Where I was once bombarded by horny instead I’m bombarded by Turning Point, AI conspiracy, and DOGE hog riding.

I hate it.

anthrodiva.bsky.social•26 days ago

Reddit is still pretty much....Reddit 😉

daedricnonsense.bsky.social•26 days ago

Cory Doctorow coined this term a while back and it pretty well describes your experience.

That’s why people should be signing up for Lemmy (Reddit alternative), Loops (instagram and Tik Tok video alternatives), and Pixelfed (Instagram photos alternative).

Zuck needs more coin!

jeffinblue.bsky.social•25 days ago

I remember when Facebook stopped showing me posts from people I followed in favor of suggested posts. I thought, why would I follow any new accounts if the algorithm isn't going to show me their posts?

catharine212.bsky.social•26 days ago

Facebook is like that now as well.

Delete your Meta accounts. You’re not missing anything anyway.

ricpeldito.bsky.social•25 days ago

Being 45yrs-old white male I'm afraid to go to IGs search due to the flood of targeted and AI generated blondies, arses, and boobs.. 🤷‍♂️

allegrooch.bsky.social•26 days ago

Fuckabird led by refining Meta into a vanguard of enshittification.

johnjolley.bsky.social•25 days ago

If: you don't like the platform
Then: leave the platform

Just make sure you get everybody's phone numbers first!

I bailed on them last year, deleting my account. Now I am absolutely flooded with the lowest quality spam garbage to those email addresses. I guess “people who quit Meta” is the least profitable mailing list imaginable.

megaweapon5.bsky.social•25 days ago

It took me MONTHS of blocking various Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro pages before IG stopped pushing right-wing garbage on me, all for the mistake of clicking one right wing ragebait page to block it shortly before the election.

cattythespy.bsky.social•26 days ago

"Do not recommend this page" "I don't like this""Set timeline to friends only".

And don't get into comment fights in posts you hate.

marcdachamp.bsky.social•26 days ago

I turned off Instagram notifications years ago because I got too frustrated dealing with a stream of pushes that had nothing to do with anything.

mky603.bsky.social•26 days ago

Get off of Instagram and Facebook.

persistentpoasting.bsky.social•26 days ago

One of those moments where I'm happy I just never used it.
Facebook I still have because it's the only way to communicate the boomers in my family.

battledrill16.bsky.social•26 days ago

Facebook is insane. Just endless ads and AI drivel commented on by boomers. Truly the bad place

lipstickscribbles.bsky.social•25 days ago

Inevitable once they needed to turn the profit machine on.

Back to decentralized forums/tools/protocols ftw.

coleraineyid.bsky.social•26 days ago

Enshitification 🤷

snjokoma.bsky.social•26 days ago

the enshittification that the internet has undergone since like ~2016 has been horrible to live through

nostalgiavictim.bsky.social•26 days ago

I really miss the old decentralized internet

snjokoma.bsky.social•26 days ago

yeah it was way more enjoyable when it was just a collection of a ton of niche communities, also before all social media turned into ragebaiting constantly for maximum engagement

how-are-u.bsky.social•26 days ago

It's hard to believe it used to exist. It was wonderful

anthrodiva.bsky.social•26 days ago

I left on 12/31 and as a former load bearing contributor to the Meta mines, I hope my departure will hasten the departure of others. I'm looking forward to Meta's Q1 earnings call on 4/30.

tredain.bsky.social•26 days ago

I keep a Facebook account strictly to keep in touch with a few high school and ex-work folks and...yeah it's as bad. I see maybe 2 posts from folks I know then just a billion posts of recommendations and trending shit. My video feed is also oddly a ton of Arabic and Asian food videos

windstwisted.bsky.social•26 days ago

As the extremely wise man Fred Durst once said, “everything is fucked, everybody sucks”.

redblackhistoryman.bsky.social•26 days ago

Boomers retire between 2011 and 2029. All those new retirees are taking profits from their 401ks, and that cost must be made up by public companies like FB via enshittification.

framplings.bsky.social•25 days ago

“Uh, Senator, we sell adds.”

ddotdisplay.bsky.social•26 days ago

Zuckerfuck bent over backwards for the orange mushroom.

jimtherhino.bsky.social•25 days ago

Because we tolerate it? If we all upped and left en masse, it would change. Possibly.

And even if it didn’t, the alternatives are often better… he said on BlueSky. 😀

chicagomike.bsky.social•26 days ago

I enjoy looking for the CVS 3 blocks from my home in google maps and it not popping up, but Bill's Dental Emporium must have paid an extra $5 and shows up over it. Super awesome.

tridang.bsky.social•25 days ago

God, remember when Facebook was limited to just your college friends? And the only content was vacation pictures, restaurant check-ins, and day-after pictures from raging keggers that we uploaded without ever considering they’d be seen by prospective employers?

50megatonfbomb.bsky.social•26 days ago

Every time I get on Facebook or IG, I ask this same question. It's all slop or memes that appeal to the dumbest people.

lupuslupus.bsky.social•25 days ago

we cannot have nice things because thats what the voters want, deal with it shitlib

aindr.bsky.social•26 days ago

Those AI ads with tiktok voicover are the worst.

peculiarsusan.bsky.social•26 days ago

It’s at least 80% ads now.

thesloopjohnm.bsky.social•26 days ago

I’ve been actively trying to trick the algo into showing me only shit I want to see and it has made no difference

accidentalflyer.bsky.social•25 days ago

Funniest thing: Trump's tariffs might actually solve this problem!

jsblz.bsky.social•25 days ago

Dog shit du jour. Everywhere you look. I felt much better after I launched my FB, Twitter & Insta accounts into the metaphorical sun.

rhetorusrex.bsky.social•26 days ago

At least fb recently added a mutuals tab to restore a little bit of functionality.

angushsdcubd.bsky.social•25 days ago

Very true - but it’s good that it is… it’s in no one’s interests to further empower big tech… fresh innovation and competition benefits us all… dogshit from them is good!

cptyesterday.bsky.social•25 days ago

It’s buried in the settings, but you can turn off suggested posts for a month at a time. Sometimes they stay off longer than that.

cousyscozie.bsky.social•25 days ago

Too hard for my mom to navigate routinely. She deleted the app because she said all she sees are people she isn't interested in. Terrible, awful product that just wants doom scrolling.

ciananas.bsky.social•26 days ago

I genuinely want to delete it but that’s where I follow local politicians (for dates & locations), my friends, and college-related stuff.

There’s at least one AI slop video every time I scroll the explore feed.

There’s a resurgence of bots after Meta did a pretty good job at removing them

mousehold.bsky.social•26 days ago

Remember that there was a time in your life where you didn’t have it and you were fine.

how-are-u.bsky.social•26 days ago

orchidorkidum.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yeah, I ended up canning mine for the second time earlier this year due to this. It sucks cause I do miss some of the folks I followed there.

jpaw346.bsky.social•25 days ago

worse than onlyfans

maxtropolitan.bsky.social•26 days ago

I unfollowed almost everyone I don't know IRL and I don't use the explore function. Makes it adequate.

bonkoboi.bsky.social•25 days ago

How do you get it to say on the following timeline? Most of my shit is other people i dont know and ads

davedouble.bsky.social•26 days ago

This. I only stay on the timeline and reduced my following to basically only people I know and bars/restaurants in town so I can see specials and events. My timeline looks as normal as ever.

maxtropolitan.bsky.social•26 days ago

The only people I follow who I’ve never met are luthiers and artists whose exhibits I want to be reminded about.

laritelar.bsky.social•26 days ago

But AI is genius American dominance. We’ll cover them all in our slop.

swbfolsom.bsky.social•26 days ago

Same-same on TwitterX… Enshittification is a real thing.

amseldrossler.bsky.social•26 days ago

Enshitification

iddybud.bsky.social•26 days ago

Yesterday Facebook removed one of my posts, calling it "spam." It was a link to The Beatitudes! Their machine-monitoring system is random and soulless.

tallstories.bsky.social•25 days ago

If you click the logo you can choose to just see who you follow. Annoyingly, you have to do it every time you open the app though.
