Yeah,

1 + (1*5000%) = 51

Honestly I prefer just writing "51 times more frequent".

Yeah so if it was 100 queries per day before, its now 5100 per day. Or maybe we are both crazy.

That's fine. 1% per uberweird news cycle is the death of facebook.

Exactly this. Wasn't Netflix going to sink after everyone cancelled when password sharing was banned? But everyone I know just ended up buying extra logins...

meh its no longer growing.

I'd delete mine, but I don't have one for 10 years or smth.

It was that combined with the fact that they create shadow profiles for your unborn child when your wife is pregnant. (Found out through FB being allowed to track your browsing history even off the app). That was the final straw right after the Cambridge Analytica issue.

Yep, but the second best time would be now.

People should have deleted it as soon as their parents figured out how to make an account.

It would be easier if they didn't buy other products I already used. I hate that shit so much. I wish companies were all banned from buying other companies. A company should be one thing, not own all the things. It's hard to choose who you do business with in our country because of this. Even if we all drop these apps today and move to something else they will try to buy that too.

His eyes have always had that going on.

That's just him using a tanning bed.
Trumps too lazy to even use one.

I get it. I left Facebook when they changed the feed like a thousand years ago and I haven’t missed it.

My wife is definitely addicted though. She left it for a year, went back just to check in on family after a friend of hers had a baby and she didn’t know about it. She hasn’t put it down since.

She’s a very family oriented person and everyone is on Facebook. Their family is the type to wake up first thing in the morning and start calling each other.

Within minutes of being up, “Ok kids let’s talk to mamaw. Let’s talk to aunty. Now we’re calling great grandma!” Cousins, aunts, uncles, everybody. They’re always talking.

My family is tight like if something goes wrong, but we don’t talk much otherwise. Sister needs help with a bill, someone’s car breaks down, blah blah blah. We can count on each other, just not to talk.

I get why it means so much to her and why it’s been easier for me. I’ll know my cousin had a kid when I bump into her with it at the grocery store. That’s good enough for my people. :p

i agree with what you’re saying and i think we’re mostly on the same page here. i just felt it would be worth saying that, from my perspective, the point of the fediverse isn’t to compete with those websites but instead to be an alternative to them. it’s to offer a picture of what social media can be like without dark patterns, extreme surveillance, and constant enshittification. and there is a really comfort in that. it feels really nice to not have to worry about a website or app getting worse every time i use it.

i also feel like the people on here tend to behave more thoughtfully (in general) than people on reddit and other for profit social media websites. and it wouldn’t surprise me if that was in part due to the absence of dark patterns making lemmy feel more relaxed and less high stakes. there’s also a bit of a small town feeling on this website that i kind of like too.

The age of social media dying is tight!

"human"

That is sounding more and more like a benefit to me. Social media that functions as social media for humans and not just another giant corporate surveillance and marketing machine wearing a fun app costume.
