Hey Facebook. People are sick of sifting through the bs on your service. They're sick of going to the trouble of posting pictures of their puppies without knowing you'll show those pictures to their friends, if your algorithm decides something else might rile them up more effectively and so drive their engagement. So, I got an idea, Zuck! Move to the metaverse! Sell us expensive VR headsets tied to your services. That way we can go online and virtually harass each other in person (virtually). It'll be fun! It'll be bigger than Facebook! Go for it.

> People are sick of sifting through the bs on your service I feel like facebook would be much more usable if I could do two simple things: hide all posts I'm only seeing because a friend commented on a thing I wouldn't otherwise see, and disable posts where a friend re-shared another post without adding or commenting on it. It wouldn't fix everything, but those two are by far the biggest source of low-signal crap. Though at this point it would probably be too little and too late.

you can carefully select who and who can't see your posts. there's a feature for that there already. and not just broad groups like "friends', "friend of friends", you can even select each individuals, i think.

  That just sets the privacy level for the post, selecting if an individual is allowed to see a specific post. What the parent commenter is talking about is whether the Facebook newsfeed algorithm will even show that post to the people allowed to see it in the first place. Or will Facebook just hide that post from your friends in favor of ads, clickbait, etc. on their feeds.
