"Everyone's been funneled to a handful of walled gardens (Reddit, Twitter, FB, Instagram, TikTok) that contain 95% of the content. *Everyone* is on these platforms now, *especially* the dumbest people, making the average quality of the content significantly lower"
"Facebook: Beautiful cabin crew scarlett johansson I made this for my 123rd birthday: (AI-generated image of an African child riding on the back of a technicolor dolphin while painting the Mona Lisa.)"
"Boomers being addicted to AI generated slop on Facebook is not the same as watching 80s telemovies in your recliner."
"An old grandpa postet a picture of the Greens minister Habeck on Facebook with the caption 'moron'. They sent a SWAT team to his house and confiscated all his electronic devices."
"I actually made a bunch of friends and connections with people I wouldn't have otherwise without Facebook. Back when people under retirement age still used it, it was legitimately fucking awesome for staying in touch with people, having impromptu conversations on status updates and shitposting. Find"
"At first, it was a joke I thought. I'd post something deliberately vague on Facebook, like, 'I just don't know which way I'll go this time...' but soon, messages would pour in from all directions, like a gentle but relentless rain."
"Thanks for creating Facebook and Microsoft teams though, good shit."
"It seems the original intent of these groups was to warn other women of potentially abusive people out there, but it's devolved into a sort of gossip (this guy is cheap and expects the bill to be split, that guy sucks in bed, etc.) I've even seen women post a photo and name of a (presumably decent) "
"My friends mom literally cried when she caught him smoking while visiting home from college (he was 20). Now she makes Facebook posts like "when you're at Disney with the hubby and the gummy hits 😅". Legalization and it's impacts…"
"I was watching The Social Network and realized the events of the film (the founding of Facebook) occurred 20 years ago. Even though obviously things were different, the general atmosphere, vernacular, cultural vibes, etc didn't seem hugely different from today."
"I don't need to hear every passing thought you have. I couldn't give a shit less if you stopped watching movies or if youre depressed. People used to post art here, people used to have thoughtful discussions here. Now it's a slopfest."
"This popped up on my Facebook and made me cringe so much. Comments full of self declared 'metalheads' falling over themselves to doff the cap to pop music as a concept"
"Nobody is talking about this, literally hundreds of millions of dollars per year in Canada alone, I'm sure it's much worse in the US. My mom regularly fall for AI shit, but thankfully it's usually just 'Tom Brady adopts abandoned Somali child' and not stealing her lives savings."
"Today I opened Facebook to find a new couch for my apartment and was notified that I can't use the app until I record a 'video selfie.' If I don't record the video they're banning my account in 180 days."
"Facebook feels like the Yahoo frontpage, full of retired loonies interacting with idiotic clickbait; Twitter admitted they're losing active users with the only topics increasing in engagement being crypto and porn; and Instagram stopped growing since the arrival of TikTok."
"I remember around 2012 or 2013 when me and all my friends were young and already getting off of Facebook as it became an old person's platform. As I understand now it's just filled with constant complete AI slop and fake news stories that inject the boomer mind with chemicals."
"Even normies on Facebook and Twitter don't say things like 'This.' and 'Thanks for the gold kind stranger'"
"You don't really have random encounters with trolls tricking you into looking at tubgirl. Instead, we have Deborah Smith - a 53-year-old mother of three - telling a Senegalese teenager to kill themselves on a Facebook post of an AI-generated picture of spaghetti."
"Your wall is now a mindless stream of the absolute worst crap on the internet, AI generated slop, junk clickbait pages, stuff that you cant for the life of you make sense why the algorithm is feeding it to you. They seem to have decided to make it actively difficult to look at posts from your friend"
"And use Facebook 24/7. This is what I've been thinking lately: that our brains can't really tell the difference between real life and the vivid images we constantly get from TV and social media. All the MAGA protesters are working themselves up into a frenzy about something they sincerely believe is"
"When I moved to a new city I tried several versions of online meetups from the Meetup site, Bumble, even Facebook groups. Sorry, but all of those groups are full of weirdos."
"My sister found out when she was going through his Facebook chats for fun."
"I may be dumb, but looking into this, I am 99% sure this (& she) is real."
"I generally like this girl outside of her being the most obnoxiously and irritatingly woke person I know. A mutual friend posted this headline 'Get Your Fucking Ass Up and Work' Kim Kardashian is just appalled that "nobody wants to work these days.""
"I believe so much of the actions and decisions he has made, and the direction he has taken Facebook can be understood if he is pretty far into the autistic spectrum."
"I opened facebook for the first time in a while and saw someone make an attack helicopter comment in response to a gender bait post. the remnants of the old world are still alive somewhere"
"Her compass tends to point toward anxiety/depression and I just feel like she was a perfect victim for Facebook, IG and Yahoo news."
"My mom is nearly 60 and spends literally all her time not spent at work on her phone listening to anti vaxx videos and Tariq Nasheed/pseudo Black militant videos. She recently got a data plan so even when she's driving she's tuned in. It's destroying her mind. My dad isn't as bad but he's one of tho"
"The match candidate from Slandr will send the message on behalf of Slandr subscriber. Slandr will integrate with all the major social media sites: Twitter, Facebook, Discord, Reddit, Instagram, etc."
"Twitter engagement is shit now and the views counter is clearly broken, Instagram is video spam and Reddit will give you 10,000 upvotes for some shit nobody even clicked on. Facebook is Facebook, irrelevant and the feed is mostly useless."
"I can't remember when I first joined an AWDTSG group but I feel like they've devolved into the most mind-numbingly ignorant and cringe takes. I literally go on facebook only to snark on these people (and obviously feel better about myself so at least I'm self aware.)"
"by the way, that guy is now a huge shitlib and posts pious judgments on Facebook about how everyone except him is a terrible person"
"It's all they do these days. Literally watch YouTube and Facebook videos about it, talk to their other boomer friends about it."
"Why do people I've slept with appear as a recommended friend on Facebook? These are people I've only spoken to in real life, through text, or maybe Tinder a number of years ago. It is very eerie. I don't understand how the algorithm knows."
"What's really getting me down is that even when I just skip it all and go right to market place, there's STILL no escaping it. I'll get suggested posts that are not things for sale, they are just racist memes stacked up as pictures for a 'listing'. And I'm not even scratching the AI stuff. This is j"
"I'm just trying to see at what time doors open at a show near me and I have to create a fucking instagram account or even worse facebook. The only alternative is to use a youtube to mp3 ass website so I can bypass this gay softblock system"
"Not to mention how Twitter and Facebook are spiraling out of control and TikTok might get banned."
"Its a shitty necessity for most white collar jobs these days but, especially lately, everyone's kind of losing it right? LinkedIn is looking more like Tumblr and Facebook than the hustle and grind type shit I used to see."
"Years down the line a woman named Hallie added me on facebook. It was her, of course - the real Hallie, the liar. Not the stunning Jenny, but the very plain Hallie."
"Somehow you met people who were not fully regarded. Today they either don't exist on the internet anymore, or they hide themselves under the same layer of semi-ironically regardedness that everyone else has. This is 90% dumb nostalgia but 10% truth. I actually met people who I became real-life frien"
"Right now, my entire Facebook feed is almost entirely indistinguishable from what my Tumblr dashboard would have looked like in 2015. Random former highschool classmates saying shit I probably said after Philando Castile's murder. The entire internet has finally become Tumblr, and I feel dizzy."
"Is it even a real issue? I feel like I only hear about it from those people."
"I'm in this "female friendship group (insert city name)" and it's basically just people posting on the group about how they get ghosted by people in the group or like advertising themselves to a bunch of strangers on fb."
"they're glued to their phones doomscrolling facebook, watching endless stupid reels, unfunny staged third world videos that absoultely do not make sense, weird obviously staged stuff where people in asia dig random tunnels in the middle of the forest, AI slop, endless scenes from family fued and fuc"
"The kids who were cool in high school are sitting at their granite countertops in their newly refurbished kitchens sharing pictures of Skyler and Sophia on Facebook from their 2010 MacBook Pros. They aren't without struggle, but they ultimately live pleasant and unexamined lives since introspection "
"I'm opening Facebook to see about events around me and being informed about how fat or skinny Selena Gomez is at the moment."
"I recognize this is an old trope at this point, but Facebook&Co. going dark the other day reminded me of the E.M. Forster book."
"more and more liberal adjacent sentiment is getting posted here on the daily. more Facebook and bluecheck Twitter memes are being disseminated."
"Like they put everything on that page except where exactly they will be and what exactly their menu is. Yet they have a blip on google maps and a facebook page. Why???"
"I'm 26 now, spent a little bit yesterday scrolling through Facebook at people I used to hangout with. Most of my social circle has a degree and works some desk job or is working on something postgrad. Those people basically look the same as we did 5 years ago."
