I use FB because my family is on their.
My feed is almost entirely not my family, but “suggested” posts, and it made me realize I really hope something becomes popular to replace FB next and my family moves there.
What type of site do you hope becomes popular on the fediverse next?
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!
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.
