The return of ‘OG Facebook’ is a big Meta priority this year
-
Facebook won’t ever recapture that old feeling. But Friendica has it.

The where Zuckerberg was stalking his fellow female students, or the one where he was threatening people with their private data? You know, BEFORE he went mask-off pro-facist.

I think he's talking about the one which fueled the genocide in Myanmar.

Too little (probably), too late. The platform has been taken over by bots with AI slop and forwards from Grandma and that's damn near all that shows up in my feed anymore. I really hope Bluesky catches on

Don't need all, just enough. The rest will leave when they die.
And you don't have to convince everyone, just the folks in your life.

Removing sponsored posts is a good start... Also, sort by date for posts..

Friendica - The Un-Social Network.
For real. There's no one there.

Just took a look at Friendica for the first time last night. It’s wild how something as simple as proper post formatting and wide open attachment options are enough to make me wish all my friends were on it. Way more personal feeling.

I've deleted the Facebook app off my phone, and started just checking in once or twice a day to see if any cool trips are being planned.
My feed is mostly sponsored posts and meme pages now, and that's not what I'm there for.
Facebook seems to have forgotten what their site is supposed to be for, which is connecting with people you know.

That's what you thought it was for. It was always for profit. Their goals and yours may have just better aligned before. Once they achieved mass addiction they had the ability to decouple their profit strategy from your perogative.

As long as you can't default sort by updates from people you actually want updates from, and omit the fire hose of unsolicited ads and propaganda, it will never even get a whiff of what it started out as.

I mean, there's a reason they're going back to the old Facebook, or are claiming to. You need people to actually use your platform to make money off them.

The classic three step process of enshittification:
-
Draw in users with good stuff and lock them in with the network effect
-
Use the large user base as bait to draw and lock in businesses and other figures wanting to pay money to throw their message at said users
-
Squeeze users and advertisers for all they're worth until the exodus starts to a different platform.

Why is there a whole Friendica directory if there's no one there?
