> we like all the dopamine hijacking garbage

I basically don't use Facebook any more because of this. Opening the app shows me the most sensationalist, fearmongering and outrage bait content they can find. It's worse than news channels (I haven't watched TV for 20 years). I have auto play turned off, and every few months the setting gets turned back on.

The first few posts I see scrolling through:

- US adds mandatory tips ahead of world cup.

- Woman dies after being hit by Audi in city center.

- There was a huge queue for women's toilets at a tech conference.

- 50% off mattresses.

- Some influencer I don't follow bought 20 rolls of 3M tape from Lidl.

Do I still have friends, do they still post stuff? I only see them in the reels/stories section at the top.

The only reason why I still have Facebook is because of groups. It's the main 'groups' tool people use in my country, so there are various local groups I am part of.
