The reason I spend so little time looking at things is the fact that they're yesterday's news. There's "top stories" and "most recent", which is really "top stories" wearing a different hat. No way of getting just the new updates from my friends in a chronological order.
As a recent example, my friend A posted that they're going out for drinks and are looking for company. Instead of showing me this quite time-sensitive piece of news, FB wanted to tell me that my friend B liked the picture of C from 2013.
The drinks invitation became visible three-four days later, when it started to get comments about people seeing it too late. Now it's been stuck to the top of my "most recent" for at least a week.
- chestervonwinch 11y agoyes. I miss when facebook was more of a social message board than... whatever it is now.

- fapjacks 11y agoI hate this so much. So much. I am not used to having posts from six weeks ago in my "news" feed, so often I'll post a reply in a conversation that actually ended weeks ago. I'm used to being the awkward, weird guy, but this makes it so much worse. This mechanic is actually responsible for about 60% of my drive to quit Facebook recently.
