I still have a #Facebook account but I'm not on there very much. Increasingly I'll just pop in there to confirm how bad it is.
I was scrolling down my Facebook feed, counting the number of "ads" between posts from accounts that I actually follow. Twice in the last hour that number was around 130. Often it is only a couple of ads between posts but sometimes they just go on and on and on!
#LoveCoSo!
@RandallTT I have used this for about 7 years now and it keeps all of the ads off and you can get that crap that runs down the sides off too! It is the only reason I can still deal with Facebook. https://www.fbpurity.com/
@RandallTT Instagram is like that now.
@RandallTT even worse, after 15 years off Facebook, I recently went back. reason - here in the Philippines 92% of the population is on Facebook. govt. agencies, stores, doctors. dentists, etc. don't have websites. they're all on Facebook. so to find anything or anybody, you have to be on Facebook.
@RandallTT I still have FB, which I use for invites mainly. I find itβs very useful for that. Iβve deleted my Xitter account completely. I donβt use it any more and while Iβm a bit sad about the people I was friendly with on there, it was time.
@RandallTT Oh, and I use an app called Friendly+ which does a good job of removing ads on the mobile, and FireFox with UBlock extension on the desktop which does the same :)
@Bliss @RandallTT Thatβs the one :)
@Nimthiriel
Thanks for the confirmation. Im going to give it a try
I created a bikersusa account on #Facebook many years ago but I didn't like it or how Zuckerfu*k was using people and violating their privacy so I only used it a couple times and never went back.
@RandallTT Probably not as bad as Twitter nowadays I guess?
