I used Facebook just for one community that would not move elsewhere. So I had to check it once a month. But then Facebook started recommending me other interesting groups and communities I joined. In my experience Facebook 6 months ago just recommended random old memes and ads. And I was hoping enshitification would finally eat Facebook for good. (I mean tiktok like reels however still shows enshitification is their top priority)

But now I am member of groups with active and helpful people. Niche groups you will not be able to find on lemmy or even reddit.

For me to really start liking it again after 10 years into enshitification they would probably have to become really open. Like joining a fediverse and offer messenger interoperability with other apps. Probably even becomming opensource.

Is it true that facebook feed is becomming more interesting or is this just my feeling because I joined those groups that existed there probably for a long time? Is Facebook making a comeback?

    Facebook’s time has long expired, because Instagram and Threads have come up as just simply alternatives. Yet they’re from the same company.

    Tech support people don’t exist, you have to rely on a dumb hub system that likely will not answer everything.

    There’s still features that people have been demanding for years and years that are never coming, like being able to remove likes and reactions from people you’ve removed and blocked.

    Facebook is basically where your privacy goes to die, because, why else are they recommending you the same people to re-add when you re-register on an entirely new e-mail, entirely new profile .etc? It’s because they’re stashing your data in their servers just to re-use on you.
