@rackmountrambo Facebook got very useful for me when I blocked every group. Now I see pictures of my friends kids and their cats. I have a.simple rule when I.look at their site. Scroll, everytime i see something shared I click the 'block all from' whatever group the shared meme was in. When I block two things my session is over. Facebook takes me just a few minutes per day, and it is all keeping up with people I know (or knew and don't want to forget) in real life.
@bluGill but like is this what the other not-so-smart of my friends are seeing? Is this why they all have Confederate flag stickers and shit? This isn't really ok, there's nobody to tell normal people to just block groups, this is making people into extremists.
@rackmountrambo they are also seeing the same type of garbage from the extreme left wing.
It is what they want, the algorithm gives you more of what you interact with, and so people interacting with the extremeists see more of it.
