My mother keeps spending 11 hours a day in Facebook and then sending me random shit from it.
Everyone always tries to pinpoint when Facebook got terrible. I was there for it. I remember it. While it happened over time the instant it was uncool and lame was when the first parent signed up.
The moment it was over for me was when my mother sent me a friend request.
It started even earlier than Facebook was publicly released as a product - looking into its history, it started literally before the very first line of code was ever written. (I'm not being hyperbolic, it literally started with a scam, then continued with several additional scams, and so on - I mean, I was not there, but reportedly so.)
"Loyalty" "ungrateful" "respect" "drama" and "hustle" are words I associate now with assholes who have nothing going on in their lives and are certainly the problem.
Its been so nice not being exposed to that pointless negativity thanks to deleting my Facebook.
Marketplace is just a continuation of our failed consumerist system by letting us recycle trash that should never have been produced but we justify because its "thrifty"
That's fair, I personally find spider pictures are generally not as viscerally upsetting as seeing a needle about to enter an arm would be to some, my sister included. Now something from the game Limbo or a spider that is in the act of doing something frightening I could see, I guess my issue is with the implied action and how I've seen people react to that
Ma'am, this is not Reddit where you complain about Facebook. This is Lemmy where you complain about Reddit.
I thought we all decided by the transitive property that we could complain about both and it would somehow both mean fuck reddit
There is enough hate to go around - fuck them both:-).
Get off facebook

Facebook is the devil Bobby!
What's a Facebook?
(Yes, /s. I've never even been to the website, let alone had an account).
Ah yea I see the problem here. The issue is caused by having a Facebook feed.
It's weird how consistent this is. It's always about ungratefulness, so it must be a common cause.
Is it just boomers being mad that their children told them they're being lied to by their phones?
Yes
Mostly convinced it's a psyop, thank Cambridge Analytica and Putin's goons.
No, I got family that are definitely not Russians posting cringey shit exactly like this all the time.
Its something I've become quite judgemental of

OP be like:
Facewut?
And boomer minion memes.
WhY R U Still on FaCEBOk 💪💪🪿🧐💪💪🪿😡😡😡😡😡😡
Unironically though.
Facebook sucks. The only thing worth anything on the platform is maybe marketplace or interesting groups.

If you're on facebook you deserve what you get, and also are addicted to whatever abuse you perceive that as.
Middle aged, as in millennials?
This seems like some boomer shit
It's 2025, why do you have a "Facebook feed" at all
Idk, I feel like this should be marked NSFW. Lots of folks have needle phobias
And other people arachnophobia, etc. etc. This is not NSFW.

Edit: I guess -> I personally find
pretty sure drug use could easily be nsfw
This is about as much drug use as these soldering pictures where they hold the iron at the hot tip.
That requires a lot of drugs, in my friend’s experience.
Why don't we wrap the entire world in bubble wrap
On PieFed there are hashtags and keyword filtering. On Lemmy... I guess there is only the block button (for the user account or entire community).
