My god I would love to have some version of facebook without suggested content.
For some reason whenever I go there these days to see what my family has posted, I'll sometimes get 4 suggested content posts in a row. With recently them being like super anti vegetarian and anti electric vehicle.
As a vegetarian who uses electric vehicles, I know I'm silly, but I don't need facebook reminding me all the time!
Bring back "sort by new" as well. No idea what they were thinking there. No I don't need to see the same 3 top popular posts for a week straight.
There is an extension called "Social Fixer" that brings back the sort by new and allows you to filter out all the 'sponsored' and 'suggested' bullshit. It's not being actively updated anymore, but it still works fine.
Wow thanks, I'll have to look into that.
I was looking at Facebook the other day, first time in a while, and the amount of suggested content just in the feed is ridiculous. And my feed kept showing different stuff any time I reloaded, so I have no idea if I missed any updates from anyone I actually care about. It's just so shit.
Non-stable content pisses me off. If I refresh the same URL in something like the same time period, I should get the exact same content.
Being unable to backtrack and end up where I was makes me anxious.
I know Mastodon is more like Twitter but, I feel like it could also replace much of Facebooks functions too?
Go to Feeds. You can even pin it directly to the navigation bar.
