It’s just such a bad user experience. FB has always been bad about this, it’s how Twitter became a source for info.

My last FB post was the day my home state’s voter registration closed with a link to check your status as a reminder to the folks back home. Didn’t get a single like.

Is this why on FB people now put links, pics and other details in the comments? So trash. Everything is trash.

Because Gen X/Boomers believe everything online at face value and Gen Z don't know how to do actual research.

I can't even post on my dog Instagram these days without AI deleting my posts for selling dog parts. It's an innocent picture of a dog. I don't have a sideline in dog tails. We're all getting it. It's a disaster for those who rescue. (UAE)

I bet it's why Facebook died. I used to share links with friends. When they started throttling them, there wasn't any point to being on FB.

Facebook is literally a bubble at this point. It's all AI slop being fed to AI bots. I don't understand how advertisers are still willing to put money into that place when the engagement is so obviously fake.

jimtwrestle.bsky.social•95 days ago

Wow, because of your username I read this as "Falafel is literally a bubble at this point" and I was wondering where all these new falafel shops were and why I haven't seen them near me...

FB is useless

dele7.bsky.social•94 days ago

LinkedIn does the same thing.

tkobodega.bsky.social•95 days ago

yeah, idk for how many years now you have to post a SS of an article then link in the comments. it's a royal P•I•T•A.

joedorvil.bsky.social•95 days ago

That's so trash. Lol.

gawdzchild4eva.bsky.social•95 days ago

That's why staying there is gonna get more challenging to do. Too many options out here now than to be dealing with his prick ass.

abedrayton.bsky.social•95 days ago

Didn't Twitter start doing this before Elon turned it into his own personal Nazi dumpster fire?

jeffhyde2284.bsky.social•95 days ago

I just got done sniffing out 25 of my friends from Facebook that have accounts on here, I know in the Morning or Midday they may see my follow activity and likely follow back as they are friends with me on there, but no surprise some on Facebook are fleeing here too, which does hurt Threads.

That graph is hilarious.

Phil is talking regular, I know this is serious 😭😭

“Doge designer” is the laziest alt in the world

jessicacosmo.bsky.social•95 days ago

Oh, so Elon Musk, the guy who bought an entire social media platform instead of actually campaigning or running for office, is now calling others “lazy”? 😂 That’s rich. He swoops in, buys Twitter—sorry, “X”—to dodge the whole campaigning thing and just shifts the narrative to harvest more data.Why

jessicacosmo.bsky.social•95 days ago

campaign when you can just own the platform and control the conversation, right?

And let’s be real, it’s about controlling the flow of information to MAGA, especially because he knew the power of Black voices on Twitter. He had to do something about that. So now, instead of effortlessly linking and

jessicacosmo.bsky.social•95 days ago

sharing to stay informed, he’s got them jumping through hoops just to talk, all while harvesting data to line his pockets—he just bought himself a megaphone. Nazi moves. Control the library. Burn the digital books

ricyrick87.bsky.social•95 days ago

I still struggle to view him as legitimately rich, didn't he have to take loans to buy Twitter? Most "rich" people aren't cash rich. It's all Monopoly money for Elon 💳

freckledandannoyed.bsky.social•94 days ago

It also keeps the truth hidden. Misinformation and hate fuels that site.

andrewfenton.bsky.social•95 days ago

Its deeply annoying because it means most claims on X are now unsourced making it harder to check if they are legit or not.

lionfish.bsky.social•95 days ago

Turns out that the hyperlinks are an important part of the hypertext, who woulda thought

mikusa.bsky.social•95 days ago

I would not be surprised if Trump spins NASA back into the Space Force, reorganizes space programs, contracts satellites to Boeing to appease the Saudis. Better for business overall to cancel a contract, de-regulate, and consolidate government control
