Just stop using that crap
Wizzbit

hillbarry53127001
I closed my account because they are showing a lot of Russian propaganda fuck these people they are selling out our country and we need to do something about it before it is too late

The enshittification is reaching warp speed jfc
hodaddelvecchio
They had "fact checkers"...adorable!
Skizmo
facebook is still a thing?
mercbrit
Ha. People that are using the “highly respected” platform of facebook to get their accurate info, (AKA Dave, who has his dog on a string) will be verified by people that are getting their facts from facebook. That makes total sense. LOL.
lightfoot2
The fun part is the fact checking system is scientifically proven to work (Nature citation) but X's is total garbage.

I think the mods could be downvoting antifascism posts. I’m upvoting, of course.

I will say that community notes is one of the few good things twitter has implemented in many years. Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t also employ fact checkers tho
C0baltBlue
Agreed. I reported a few Facebook posts for misinformation recently and got told they weren't breaking any rules. If I could help slap a community not under there, that's better than it staying up without comment.

The audacity of this greedy asshat! So glad I left Fb a long time ago.

Either leave Facebook or post fake shit about mark fuckerburg. What are gonna do, fact check?
MajMalfunction2
Both platforms need to die a quick death.
chata954
Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram... let them die
mjperk
I deactivated my FB account right before the holidays. I suggest ya'll do the same. Boycott Zuckerberg and all the other assholes.
TaiPan87
You are welcome to check out but the people making the rules right now and those that follow them will continue to be these platforms. Your absence will only make their grip stronger.
GOAE
They're just prepping for all those fake AI profiles they will officially add to drive up engagement. They don't want criticism from fact checkers pointing out their fake people spreading lies, after all.
Sunfire00
Is it just me or does he start looking like a Roman Emperor with that hair? Like Caligula...
philsnow
I almost made the exact some comment before seeing yours
SquashDemon
So glad i left Facebook.
Ilikestyx
I see their meetings with Trump went well...
ViolentlyJaded
How does he look like a wax replica of himself?

honestly, I only use it for Marketplace- free and cheap furniture and stuff like that....but I think there a lot of morons out there who actually get information from Facebook

spazztastic
He definitely voted for trump, because he's out of new ideas to make money so he's choosing the guy who will protect what he has.

Mark Zuckerburg is a baby eating spaceclown

Considering how little of a dent their making in Xitters numbers - with Xitter itself being more at risk of bleeding to death from it's own self-inflicted wounds - I question the logic of copying one of those self-same biggest wounds... like, yeah, Leon is rich - but it ain't because of Xitter and even the Nazis are abandoning it...
lightfoot2
I think you now see why he bought Shitter. Got serious bang for his bucks.
GratuaCuun
I mean, if his goal was to defenestrate one of the biggest social media companies and drive off even the worst members - I *guess*...
OneMoreLime
Self checkout is a great business model, just get customers to do stuff you normally would pay employees to do... /s

A cite showing that my statement of "Meta's previous system is effective at reducing falsehoods" can be found in Nature: Human Behavior.
This journal has an Impact Factor of 22.3 and is thus considered highly reliable and scholarly. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-01973
If you have a study from a similar level scholarly journal which disputes this pls post along with the journal's IF. If you downvoted me, pls remove that.

Note, I mis-copied the URL: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-01973-x

Why would anyone look for truth on Farcebook?
veritas1980
because they are gullible brainwashed sheep who can't fathom that things they agree with may not be true.

If you're not tech-savvy, a single app can be your entire experience with the Internet.
historycat
Only people who vote.
mikeatike
Boomers and idiots.
eathotdog
Because it shows them the truths they want to hear
lightfoot2
Which is good. These truths will wind up fucking them over a thousand fold, and this is what I want to see. I no longer am interested in helping the stupid, or assisting them in seeing the error of their ways. I want to be someone who stands by and lets them experience the full and complete effects of their choices. If they win, good. If they lose, good.
MightyIink
The fox news generation also spends all their time there. Most of my relatives spend all their time there and I can't tell them to stop using it or they'll look at me like I'm the lunatic in the family.
wtfIsTheInternet
oh how the turn tables
lightfoot2
Yep. Let them fail, do nothing to help them.
scuba7jb
My 75 year old father-in-law literally spends all day marinating in rage-bait stories on social media... and puts in zero effort to exploring: "I wonder what the other side of this story is?"
Some people just want to be angry and ignorant.

lightfoot2
Yep, and since this benefits Trump and grifters I would expect a lot more crap in the next 4 years. Which is good, people will be ripped off and maybe will learn something. Nothing else seems to work.
HandoB4Javert
lightfoot2
Hopefully he will be ripped off by hucksters and not use his money to cause grief to people.
LitchLitch
One of the few benefits of the orange grift train is that he sucks up so much money from the fools that he starves more effective evil of resources.
littlecoatfatguy
We literally just saw that this and Twitter are where half of America get their news.
lightfoot2
guess which half.
TaiPan87
Do you think only the right lives in an echo chamber? I assure you, that is not the case. We are in a low-information society across the board.
littlecoatfatguy
One side uses Facebook more, that’s what I’m responding to, but your “both sides” nonsense is duly noted.
LitchLitch
Because you can find it there, unlike most places you can actually get in-depth thought and extended discussion of issues
My Facebook feed.is full of leftist politics, hard news, and good discussion. If yours isn't you're doing Facebook wrong.
lightfoot2
I dont do facebook. never have, I saw it as outsourcing one's social connections. I gave up having someone else pick my friends when I was like four.
LitchLitch
Yeah, that's not how Facebook works, but it's not surprising you don't know that since you're pontificating on something you admit you never use.
nevernotsure
So you created an echo chamber for yourself. Where nothing is fact checked and you feel safe.
nevernotsure
So just to clarify. The only reason I even said anything was because of how condescending you sound. Telling people they don't know how to use FB, that's like trying to say people don't know how to use fox news. You want to have a community and get people there, fantastic. Don't come at people all high and mighty about how to use FB then call them cowards. Would have been one thing if you said it in a way where you were trying to inform and get people on board.
LitchLitch
Hardly. Unlike cowards like you project I cultivate a community of open, rational, passionate people, many of whom we have reached points of mutual disagreement but can continue our discussion.
I heaven have a few dancing buffoons whom I keep around to keep track of the fascist party line and give people sparring time with.
nevernotsure
Lol. Ok, sport. Go back to FB. Calling people cowards because you want to keep a shit hole place like FB propped up in your echo chamber. So angry.
