Day XXX of conservatives making liberals look cool by accident.
No accident. We always have been the cooler ones.
Liberals in the American sense (not far right) or in the pol-sci one (private property is the most fundamental of rights)?
Right wing rage bait drives engagement which in turn drives up the cost of advertising and gives them more revenue. This is really why everyone needs to abandon corporate social media in droves.
Did...did they censor trash?
Oh, god, that just makes everything worse!
"PSA: Do you know how difficult it is being a #&$8man? He picks up your $&@( for you. Be respectful to your local #(#-men."
ASSMAN.
Took me so long to figure out that this wasn't some obscure swearword.
That’s what you get for using Facebook. Just delete your account already.
Deactivated FB six weeks ago.
I'm not saying you should do the same, but I'm not not saying it.
6 weeks? I thought everyone left that dumpster fire 8 years ago
It's how I stay updated on events mostly. Even if a decent alternative existed it would take a long time to get many of my friends and family to move, not to mention some of the groups.
Understable. Requires more legwork without it, but I don't mind that for the mental health tradeoff.
I need it to contact like 90% of the people I talk to
Are all your friends American retirees?
Not necessarily. You can deactivate FB and still keep your contacts to use in Messenger.
I was banned from FB years ago, they did me a favor
You are still looking at a Facebook post. You simply found a way to feel superior to the people who do it on Facebook.
It's not a superiority thing.
As much as I dislike FB, it unfortunately still has a lot of use for most people. I get that.
Stop clicking on right wing rage bait and it won't be recommended to you lol
You don't even need to click for them to recommend it. If you look at it longer than another thing, or take a screenshot when it's on the screen, it's a signal that you might spend more time on the app if they show those kind of things. And the chance of you spending more time on the app means more money for them through ads.
I've never once had FB suggest things like this to me..
Probably because I've never made an account!
This is not true. Anyone that clicks anything remotely socialist immediately gets fed with the completely opposite, gommunism no food and 100gorillionbillion deaths propaganda. It immediately tries to lead people to the opposite.
Happens on Youtube a lot, I watch leftist videos, and all of a sudden I'm recommended PragerU and it starts showing up on my fucking autoplay.
i noticed this year ago that if stop using my fb account after some time my TL is filled with "suggestions" RW and lewd stuff. i think they are just trying to see what i like, if i click on RW stuff they gonna flood them and same for lewd posts
Which is weird, because when I try to share them my account just gets flagged and suddenly I can't message the three relatives that still use it for three months
All cars look bad because pollution is ugly
Why you still on Facebook?
Because we left Reddit but there still not enough Lemmy content for while we're sitting on the porcelain throne.
You need fiber not facebook
I don't blame him, my wife, my mom and my gran are all there and like to see pictures
Who gives a fuck? The car isn't decorated for you it's decorated for its owner. Same goes with how a person chooses to dress or decorate their body.
Ultimately just another form of "your body exists for my enjoyment".
I have no idea what they are advertising
Right wing rage
Women as property
Algorithm free is the way to be.
Looks at weird paint job on my project car Yeah who... who would paint a car like that?
I don't get it really. She can get tattoos if she wants, it's not like she's making me get them.
This kind of shit is usually made by incels. So no worry. They already live in their own hell.
Plenty of reason to worry about desperate incels, seeing how many mass killers have come from that group...
True.
Being an incel is a crime, it is also the punishment for said crime.
The content algorithms are terrible. I've been trolling some local news pages that have been posting about Jason Aldean, and it never fails that the most relevant comments are all showing support even though each comment only has a few likes, but when "all comments" is chosen, there are massive amounts of opposing comments that have an enormous amount of likes.
It's like the purest form of manufacturing consent.
This is rage bait? For all i know the lady above is the one below on a work day & vise-versa on vacation.
Like do these people want stock photos for a lover? That's on them, but i'm confident who they chose in the end to love was NOT the top image lol
A girl I dated sold a set of modeling photos to one of the clip art sites in the early 2000s. She was in a movie too, but all of that right after we broke up.
The photos of her from the photoshoot would show up in weird ways. She was all over the internet! She was an advertisement on the front page of msnbc for a while. But the real kicker was seeing her photo on the wall of a futon store. Like frickin huge. The store was on a corner of a busy intersection. I could see the picture on the wall as I turned the corner. WTF One time I had to stop and go inside just to check if I was making it up. My wife agreed it was her!
And for like 10 years I would see it used in random places.
She was and probably is super cute so not surprised she had some luck selling her appearance but JFC I'm pretty sure some dudes fell in love with her. I did to but at least she was interested in me too
When you grab images of two different people to try to prove you're right.
And they fail because the bottom one looks hotter to me (person, not car. I concede that the top car looks better.)
I'd say neither car looks good.
I dunno, I'm not a car person at all but the bottom one looks a bit Splatoon-ish, so it's better by association?
And I think both women look really beautiful.
Personally, I quite like tastefully tatted ladies, but that just me.
Algorithms are crap. I love archeology and space docs so, of course, my YouTube feed is 100% ancient aliens bullshit. I've even tried blocking channels but they keep coming back. I despise seeing Joe Rogan's face. I just ignore it and wait for a word of mouth suggestion. I refuse to be force fed shit.
Another mildly infuriating thing about Faecesbook, highlighted by this pic:
Regardless of the bullshit that it claims to the users, its moderation system is fully algorithmic and automatic. However since algorithms don't understand discourse, it's damn easy [when you're human] to say the shit that you want, in a way that they don't understand - but that other humans do. For example you can get away calling people "trash", even if this should be against Faecesbook's code of conduct; and nobody will be able to take your post down because no actual human being with power to take it down will actually review it.
Bottom car is ugly, sure. But I'd fuck both women; sure, I sometimes eat steak (top one) but sometimes I also eat shitty MCDonalds (bottom one)...
But lets be real, I'm on Lemmy. They wouldn't even look at me 🤷
Calling a woman "shitty McDonald's" probably doesn't help either.
Its engagement bait, trying to make you click through and argue with people. I just hide/snooze it all as it shows up.
The one on the bottom is faster.
But the question is, is that the same girl?
i don't think so, they have different shaped faces and bodies and different hair colors
There's a reason Ferrari doesn't allow the bottom one...
Do you feel like engaging it? Good... good...
