I switched from Facebook to Twitter/Snap/Insta. Much easier than I expected, I still check my facebook once every few weeks, but the content on FB was garbage.

- iamdave 8y agoHere here, re: content. My usage of Facebook would probably increase if there was a way to filter-on site-keywords in and out of my newsfeed instead of relying on a browser extension. As it is, I'm constantly hiding posts, snoozing or unfollowing people altogether-thinking "Fine Facebook, if you want to use algorithms based on how I use the site to customize my newsfeed, customize this". Seems the site hasn't yet picked up that I don't want everyone's oversimplified political hot takes (but I like one Nicholas Cage meme and suddenly FB reacts "Would you like ALL the Cage recommendations??" No, not really). I like checking in on my friends, and that's the extant of how useful FB is to me, but there's a real fatigue to the political fatalism front and center. So, twitter it is. So I can get my oversimplified sports hot takes. Those are at least humorous and entertaining. If a social network comes along and grants me that kind of control, I would gladly beta that.
