I don’t post on Facebook—HN is my closest analogue. But I assure you my partner(s) have no interest in seeing whatever I post here. Any more than I want to be in the thick of the extended-family group chats. Or, frankly, Facebook. In that sense, maybe this is Facebook doing its part for domestic harmony…

  I think the point was two people can be the absolute closest of friends, and Facebook will still fail to show them relevant posts.

    It sure justifies the creepy People You May Know though, doesn't it? Which apparently outs sex workers and whatever else If you're going to move fast and break things and connect the world full steam ahead (and damn the consequences like what happened in Myanmar) your platform better be absolutely rock solid but Facebook doesn't even do that. Its implementation of 'connection' is laughable

Xitter was kind of doing the same thing: I can’t see anything my mom posts, but I definitely have to see everything Elon’s mom does.

  X actually kinda solved this. You have 3 tabs which solve all use cases IMO - For you: Fully algorithmic, shows stuff even from people you don't follow - Following (recently): Chronological posts from people you follow - Following (popular): Algorithmic ordering just from people you follow
