How do you even curate a fb feed. When I tried that I got an algorithm that shoved “recommended” posts down my throat that got worse the further down I scrolled. Not to mention looking for posts older than a day is a pain because they’re not chronological. AND the cherry on top is when you finally reach the place where that post might be and the page just decides to reload. Awful, awful user experience.
Comment on Facebook now wants to write your posts for you with AI.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months agoMy feed is highly curated so that I only see a handful of people I know in person who post things I care about and a couple of groups involving cartoonists I like and one about a TV show I like, all of which are 100% argument and drama-free. It makes it a far less unpleasant experience.

Yeah, suggestions killed FB, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Reddit for me. You can’t even have your own feed anymore.

Yes, lately I’ve been getting a ton of local police department posts from cities on the other side of the country and I’m a firm ACAB person.

I use a Firefox addon called “FB Purity” it blocks all sponsored and recommended posts. You can even configure it to hide posts like “Your friend commented on this” which also puts random public posts on your page. My main page is very clean and takes 10 seconds to scroll down every few days to see the most recent pet photos or any important news from my family.

Thanks for reminding me I live in a town over an hours’ drive away from the closest friends to me. Very kind of you.

A few years ago I did this, too. By deleting my facebook account. Best curation of it I’ve ever achieved.
