I have this thing: https://www.fbpurity.com/ https://www.fbpurity.com/
which I use to get rid of those "suggested posts" from groups I never joined. You could also customize it to do what this guy's tool does, I suppose.
- mrinfinitiesx 2y agoNice. I installed one of those addons to hide that crap. I only use my fb for my local pet shelter that I volunteer at and other things I volunteer with since tech is well, in transition to say the least. https://micg.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/output.gif https://micg.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/output.gif I have to scroll for like 2 minutes just to find a local group post (small town that gives out local town news), It's all suggested/sponsored/ads. I have facebook blocked in my /etc/hosts file so I can only view it at the shelter etc. But yeah, that's the crap its feeding in our faces. When you visualize it, it's like and see what it's really doing to your brain/eyes, you need to reclaim that time and attention sink.
- croisillon 2y agoi love that tool: - i only see posts from people/organisations i friended/followed - those posts are in chronological order - and i don't see what people liked/commented somewhere else - on top of that, i don't see "reels" or whatever this feature is called - and when a contact change their name/deactivate/unfriend i receive a notification
- kirenida 2y agoThis is another similar tool: https://socialfixer.com/ https://socialfixer.com/ It loads 10 posts at a time and filters out all of the junk. Then you have to manually load more posts. It's really eye-opening when you load 10 posts and it filters out 9 of them. But besides that, the thing that's really pushing me away from FB is the pure hate, agression and stupidity on display in the comments section of local groups. It hurts to see the levels people descend to when they can comment without any repercussions.
- rolph 2y agohow someone with a banhammer hanging overhead behaves is nowhere near as valuable an indicator, compared to behaviour when there are no perceived consequences. [the thing that's really pushing me away from FB is the pure hate, agression and stupidity on display in the comments section of local groups] -- you are seeing what lurks inside, and what degree of personal refraint exists.
- AlbertCory 2y agoactually, on NextDoor, the population is so limited that it's fairly productive to Mute/Block the hateful or dumb people ("excuse me, but please pick up after your dog.") FB, of course, has billions of users so that doesn't work.
- OptionOfT 2y agoNextDoor where I live is overrun by advertisements for gutters and 1 day shower replacements. Maybe I live in a boring area?
- genewitch 2y agonextdoor wouldn't even onboard me, i sent a message with details to their team and they said they'd fix it for me... that was like 3 or 4 years ago. I had to define a new neighborhood, so maybe that's why?
- Log_out_ 2y agoNobody stops anybody from making a antisocial network graph and use a bot to block out the sun..
- genewitch 2y agoomfg thank you so much. truly. it works with facebook container tabs too!
- tim333 2y agoI was going to recommend that. I'm amazed when I try using fb without it at the amount of junk it throws up.
