The return of ‘OG Facebook’ is a big Meta priority this year
Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg plans to focus this year on getting back to ‘OG Facebook,’ here’s what that means per the CEO.
Facebook won’t ever recapture that old feeling. But Friendica has it.
The one where Zuckerberg was stalking his fellow female students, or the one where he was threatening people with their private data? You know, BEFORE he went mask-off pro-facist.
I think he's talking about the one which fueled the genocide in Myanmar.
fellow female students

I see what you did there.
Maybe that one plus where the parties are this weekend.
As long as you can't default sort by updates from people you actually want updates from, and omit the fire hose of unsolicited ads and propaganda, it will never even get a whiff of what it started out as.
Probably they'll try to bring back features that cause people to interact more publicly, like poking. No way sponsored posts and ads are going away. For me it is an unusable app, way too little organic content on there. Marketplace is great though.
Just took a look at Friendica for the first time last night. It’s wild how something as simple as proper post formatting and wide open attachment options are enough to make me wish all my friends were on it. Way more personal feeling.
gently harass them until they relent and try it? let the website to phoneapp pipeline do its thing.
I have the tiny luxury to not know what anybody's talking about because I have never had a facebook account.
Woo!
Too little (probably), too late. The platform has been taken over by bots with AI slop and forwards from Grandma and that's damn near all that shows up in my feed anymore. I really hope Bluesky catches on
So, are they going back to where every post starts with “is”?
These days my most common action is to "hide" or "block" random posts that are in my feed from pages or groups I've never heard of. Blocking ads is more steps but I still do that for particularly egregious crap getting pushed on me.
Good luck getting all the boomers off there.
Don't need all, just enough. The rest will leave when they die.
And you don't have to convince everyone, just the folks in your life.
Removing sponsored posts is a good start... Also, sort by date for posts..
I won't know because I deleted Facebook.
Has anyone here installed friendica? I tried to give it a go yesterday with the the docker image. The login page is showing up, but it is giving me HTTP 500 errors when I click sign up I also get no errors in any logs.
Freindica - hmmm tell us more...
Friendica - The Un-Social Network.
For real. There's no one there.
Why is there a whole Friendica directory if there's no one there?
I know they would follow Fortnite.
