> which I mostly ignore
it's still having a direct effect on you
It’s a little janky, presumably Meta has a few developers constantly working to hinder it. But still can mostly get rid of that kind of crap.
Installing it, scrolling down was constant sponsor ads being blocked, reels of women from bot accounts that steal influencers' videos and repost them, new-age spirituality memes 'Let go of what does not serve you' and 'Return to Source to find your real self' - quotes from philosophers who never said the quote, 'How to hack' tutorial images -- all removed from fbpurity
I'd have to scroll for a minute before getting anything from the local community groups, the shelter's posts, and rarely did I see somebody else's post, and usually it was talking about Trump or politics or 'are we in a simulation?' but for the most part it's all brain rot.
Toxic, deceptive brain rot. There's no use trying to get others to exit the psychological magnet that has them hooked and doom scrolling and posting non-stop with their views.
The botfarms would plague every local community group and most people activity were calling out the bots. Bots swaying the comments on posts' comment sections for local news, people getting LIVID in the comments over trolls/bots.
Businesses being FB exclusive only with no Google presence, no maps presence.
Delete it, trust me, you'll be happier. There is no 'purity'
Did they really "fall for it" or were they just laundering the intent to publish false information through incompetence?
