You know Meta, the "social media company" came out and said their users spend less than 10% of the time interacting with people they actually know?
"Social Media" had become a euphemism for 'scrolling entertainment, ragebait and cats' and has nothing to do 'being social'. There is NO difference between modern reddit and facebook in that sense. (Less than 5% of users are on old.reddit, the majority is subject to the algorithm.)
It would be nice if the social media company actually showed their posts in the feed
I'm hopeful that one day engineers at Meta will crack the chronological sort code. It's a tough algorithm but I bet Llama can help 'em out.
Better back button handling and fixing the location bugs in event creation may well be entirely beyond Llama, sadly.
I don't go to Meta properties to interact with anyone anymore.
Our extended family has a WhatsApp group, but that's about it. I'm not convincing a bunch of 60+ year olds to switch to a new platform they're not used to.
Instagram has been read-only for me for half a decade, I still poke my head on FB now and then to spy on people I used to know.
