I'll admit that I deleted my Facebook account years ago, and thus haven't seen what this redesign looks like, but this sounds like a baffling move. Facebook has been less and less popular with the younger crowd; and is now mainly associated as a place for older generations, who like use it primarily as a way to keep track of friends and family and secondarily as a way to see the news. I can't see the "Tiktok-ification" of their platform as being successful at all. My grandmother wants to see pictures of their neighbor's holidays, not scroll through the antics of kids she doesn't know. Again, the article doesn't give any screenshots, but expanding the feed pool to encompass the whole world is the exact opposite of why people are still sticking around.

- asdff 4y agobasically the redesign is exactly the same as its always been, only they sexied up the lefthand column with friends, saved, pages, now marketplace is there because presumably a lot of people just use fb to sell or buy crap. The top bar with notifications got moved to the left hand side, and the chat window is expanded to the entire right third of the screen. It looks like any other electron-esque app now basically, and it takes longer to load to the point where they've added a splash screen. Every other item in your news feed is a sponsored post or something someone put up days ago versus the most recent content.
