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.
I’ll bite a bit and say yes, however - I quickly realized I wasn’t gravitating. It was sucking me in. Their algorithm has gotten much better at putting stuff you care about front and center, in a dangerous way. I felt compelled to comment, to join in and argue with people. I felt myself growing angry again being there. So I stopped.
Really analyze why you’re feeling drawn to it. Is it actually fun, or is it a dopamine drip they are getting you hooked on
