hot off the presses: automatic wrong information without even going to the wrong-information deliveries store
there are some remarkable instances of bad behaviour in there already, but imagine being the sort of product team that thinks users being gaslit by a chatbot that they couldn’t even consent to choose to use is totes something to deliver without any modification or remark

God forbid it ever take longer than an hour for an actual human with actual knowledge to type a reply.
Its times like these which make me happy I ditched Facebook years ago.
For me Facebook no longer works. I don't know if it is just facebook being weird, or a combination of adblockers which they are trying to fight against, but when I go to facebook I see 4-5 posts of people I follow, and then an endless list of memelike 'you might be interested in this' joke etc posts it is mega weird.
Edit: now I see only 1 post from my friends/family. I need to shift-f5 to see a different one. The rest is all 'follow this generic thing you don't care about (a % of which are also sexist/racist so well done there FB, even saw a Yukio Mishima meme)')

Same. Some days are worse than others: a couple groups I follow, maybe a person I follow, then 17 ads or random pages or groups. Then 2 or 3 I follow, etc.
Often the posts from people/groups I follow are days or a week old and I’ve seen them many times but never clicked on them.
Yeah it gives me groups. Most are relevant to my interests! But I mute them all cos that's not what I'm there for.
Muting them doens't even work, it is only for 30 days, and I never see a friend posts when this is going on. It is just endless new crap. I have no idea why, but I don't care enough to find out, don't think I go there more than once a month at most.
