Why I hardly use Facebook

Magic mirror that everyone portrays themselves as they would like to be seen? Could be a force for change to wake America up to the corporate nightmare that we are in? However, Facebook is a part of that corporate nightmare and does not care to be the purveyor of change rather a parasite that feeds off of it’s host? Low vocabulary can’t spell doesn’t understand words purposely to keep you trapped on this nightmare longer? Erases everything you’ve written after carefully crafting something. It just disappears because you touched the wrong part of the screen. God help you if you’ve had a stroke? Your left arm is partially paralyzed. It does not help make Facebook any easier? It’s omission of the S Wright before “it host”? Is it typical problem with Facebook? There is no just using voice to text? Rather you spend endless amounts of time editing what you’ve tried to carefully Craft? Only to have it disappear when you touch the wrong part of the screen again this is the reason why I never use Facebook because it is unfriendly to my condition? And I don’t expect anyone to read this review or care because frankly, you’ve already given in to the corporate devil. To now try and call us friend? I’m sure you think because I am of faith. I’m some primitive? However, my faith is evolved enough to understand when I see a cancer that is causing harm? God bless may the tone be with you?

Haven’t we evolved?

Here’s my review of Facebook. I only use it for marketplace and even that was forced on me. This is my second time signing up for an account, my first go round ended tragically after years of using it. I won’t get into details, but I couldn’t deal with the negativity it cultivated. Fast forward to my second go round. I realized that there was no good replacement for Craigslist after it crumbled, except for Facebook marketplace. Side note, why did I need an active account for X amount of days to use it? Anyways, you got me, my need to find local deals made me come back. I have like 3 friends on their, who are comprised of 1 family member, 1 longtime friend, and 1 person I thought was a previous coworker (same name), but realized they wasn’t but never unfollowed. Whenever I log in (looking for a deal) I sometimes scroll my feed and wonder WTH is going on with my feed. I get it, I’m not interacting enough for it to figure me out, but its attempts are pretty bad. I switch over to marketplace and handle my business and I’m out. What happens if I find something I want to purchase on marketplace? Oh that’s easy… just kidding. I then have to use another app to have a convo with the seller. Facebook messenger see my review of that useless app over there. I’m leaning towards deleting but, I don’t know of an alternative to marketplace, as soon as a viable alternative comes out, I’ll be all over it and will be more than happy to delete my account and move on.

Messy

This used to be a great app, but these days Meta decides what you will see and how you will experience Facebook. For example, I always disable the in-app sounds because they are annoying and unnecessary, but every few days the app enables the pointless noises on its own. The newsfeed has been taken over by so-called suggested posts, which range from random local news stations I don’t care about to bigoted memes and there is no way to disable seeing these “suggested” posts. The “hide all from” feature is also broken - I hide a post from a group and I continue to see posts from that group anyway? Like, how even? This is not supposed to be Twitter, I don’t want stuff shoved into my feed if I didn’t seek it out. I want to see my friend’s posts, not stuff from a page I don’t even follow. I don’t mind ads, Meta needs to pay the light bill somehow, but this pointless engagement baiting by Meta is really irritating.
And then there are the blatant copy and paste scams flooding Marketplace and groups. Scams for handyman services and expensive items seem to be the most common and all of them have enough similarities to be removed by the same algorithm which automatically bans you in your swear at someone. Each time I report these posts and accounts, Facebook tells me that the posts don’t violate the rules. It’s really wild that they’d rather keep the scams up for engagement and ad placement rather than protect their users from crimes.
