      You don’t even need to click for them to recommend it. If you look at it longer than another thing, or take a screenshot when it’s on the screen, it’s a signal that you might spend more time on the app if they show those kind of things. And the chance of you spending more time on the app means more money for them through ads.

      I’ve never once had FB suggest things like this to me…

      Probably because I’ve never made an account!

      This is not true. Anyone that clicks anything remotely socialist immediately gets fed with the completely opposite, gommunism no food and 100gorillionbillion deaths propaganda. It immediately tries to lead people to the opposite.

    Who gives a fuck? The car isn’t decorated for you it’s decorated for its owner. Same goes with how a person chooses to dress or decorate their body.

    Ultimately just another form of “your body exists for my enjoyment”.

      They don’t like the short top, her hair, or the tattoos.

      American conservative christians are generally anti-tattoo. They like things like long modest dresses, suits, clean short haircuts for men, etc. Very bland and conforming.

        Imo continuing to use reddit is a lot better than using Facebook. As many issues as you may have with Reddit as a company, Meta is far worse.

    Deactivated FB six weeks ago.

    I’m not saying you should do the same, but I’m not not saying it.

        Thats about when I dropped FB for the second time for the last time… I was dating a girl that didn’t believe I didnt have a FB, my dumbass makes a new one and it was pure misery like the last go. I can’t imagine how bad it is now…

      Deactivating is for wafflers. Delete that shit, burn the crops, and salt the earth in your wake.

        It’s really not.

        You’re still starving the beast. Deactivating just leaves the people who know me an outlet to get in touch if needed.

          I told myself that… And then would reactivate and spend a day or two falling back in. Like a shitty relationship. Eventually, I had to cut the cord entirely.

            Sometimes that’s the best way to go. For me, deactivating’s been fine. I like Mastodon and Lemmy way more.

      It’s how I stay updated on events mostly. Even if a decent alternative existed it would take a long time to get many of my friends and family to move, not to mention some of the groups.

      You are still looking at a Facebook post. You simply found a way to feel superior to the people who do it on Facebook.

        It’s not a superiority thing.

        As much as I dislike FB, it unfortunately still has a lot of use for most people. I get that.

    The content algorithms are terrible. I’ve been trolling some local news pages that have been posting about Jason Aldean, and it never fails that the most relevant comments are all showing support even though each comment only has a few likes, but when “all comments” is chosen, there are massive amounts of opposing comments that have an enormous amount of likes.

    It’s like the purest form of manufacturing consent.
