It started when they introduced the non chronological timeline. Everything from then on was about driving users to use the app more as opposed to being a tool to connect friends.
Thanks to facebook I have met many friends throughout the world, including my now wife, and have managed to keep in touch with them as I travel the world and land in my friends home countries.
It is so sad that the tool I'm describing doesn't really exist anymore.

- kalleboo 1y agoBefore they introduced the non-chrono timeline the main complaint about Facebook was "I don't care about seeing what my cousin ate for lunch", and from that perspective it almost makes sense.
- frollogaston 1y agoYeah but that was in the earlier days, and I think that stopped happening well before they went non-chrono. Which is also maybe they went non-chrono, they realized the social part was losing steam.
- Semaphor 1y agoFwiw, https://facebook.com/?sk=h_chr https://facebook.com/?sk=h_chr still/again works. Recently rediscovered it, and essentially got my old fb experience back. Add a normal adblock, and manually block reels, and you'll only see what friends and followed pages (90% musicians for me) post.
