What I want from Facebook: To know what my friends are up to.
What I get is, well - of the top ten items in my feed right now:
5 are actual updates from friends
3 are ads
2 are "Have you considered adding these people? Or using this functionality?".
I find it off-putting and makes me less likely to actually use the app.
- t0bia_s 4y ago"What I want from Facebook: To know what my friends are up to." I found out that this bend my view on people that I know. I prefer to curiously ask in real life about what they are doing instead to start coversion with knowing of what they want to be known about them online. Which is mostly saturated with "filters" and not real. So I disabled feed completely by plugins in browser 4 years ago. Nowadays I use FB only for marketplace and sharing links of my works from portfolio.
- AndrewDucker 4y agoI have friends all over the world, from various stages of my life. And I have two small children. I literally cannot have that kind of conversation with the majority of people. I'll take what I can get.
- t0bia_s 4y agoIf digital connection is enough for friendship for you than you have plenty of time.
- AndrewDucker 4y agoI'm sorry, I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
- t0bia_s 4y agoFor me, there is no value of friendship maintained by baised digital connection. I rather invest time in real relationships. There I find people with similar approach.
- AndrewDucker 4y agoAah. If you get nothing from knowing what your friends are up to, if it's not expressed verbally, then social networks are not for you!
- t0bia_s 4y agoBecause digital communication without natural interaction on spoken word tend to made biased image of self. I find this harmful for society because it shift dialogue to extreme.
