    Do people even still use Facebook or has it completely been taken over by bots at this point?

      Bots, AI, misinformation/disinformation, hatred, predators and depressed people.

      My mental health has thrived having deleted my meta account last year.

        I left that garbage eons ago. I’m unfortunately Gen-X. There are a lot of us on there. I usually tell people I’m a Xennial now because to be honest, I don’t friggin remember anything past 1980. I remember the scary ass fucking puppet lady from Mr Rogers if that means anything lol

      Sometimes I go to fb to see a restaurants page or something, and when I press back it takes me to the front page. Out of morbid curiosity I sometimes scroll a bit, and lately there are so many posts from ~ 30-50yr old people pointing out how many mosques there are (here in Finland), how many people are wearing hijabs, etc. Like its straight up literal xenophobia, fear of foreign people.

      both, gen-xers right wingers use it alot, and it pushes alot of right wing content on it. and facebook has been mostly bots, even more so now with AI. reddit is really trying to emulate it.

      Groups, primarily. Marketplace somewhat. The rest is absolute trash.
