I'm struggling to remember the old Facebook, before it morphed into a (social) "news" aggregator. A few years ago, my news feed was mostly clever status updates and photos of some old high-school crush from last weekend. Now that sort of content is on Snapchat/Twitter/Instagram, and Facebook has what's left.
When was the last time facebook was genuinely fun for anybody?
- code_duck 10y agoGroups are a feature that often provide enjoyable experiences for me. I'm a member of a few that have fairly vibrant communities, focusing on art and hobbies. People share tips, questions, humor, plan events, and make friends. Overall I feel the design and experience is inferior to reddit, HN or even vBulletin, but the reach and popularity of Facebook are inescapable, which means lots of members and lots of content.
- greenhouse_gas 10y agoIs it just me, or is it a relatively new thing that FB focuses on public images/videos shared by friends rather than actual content made by friends. I mean, it used till be a thing that "FB is where you go to see what your friends had for supper". Now it's more like " where you go to see news your friends likes". I actually liked the first version more.
