I don't put Facebook on my phone. My friends there are a close circle of trusted family and friends that I want to keep up with. But it's a dumpster fire. My feed is clogged with ads, suggestions, thirst traps, quintuple posts, and spam. Any content from a friend or a page where I willingly gave consent, that's lost in the noise. And yet I persist in trying to follow along. I doomscroll repeatedly through the same posts (there's no way to mark everything as "read") and sometimes the landscape looks a little different, so it's definitely got its addictive hooks in me. I try not to engage with posts that are not something I've subscribed to. If you comment on weird pages, you are likely to get in some drama or get a creepy friend request from a bot. I don't fall for phishing emails or common scams elsewhere, but at least twice, I've fallen for a Facebook scam where someone impersonated/hacked a friend's account. I feel like I don't spend much time on Facebook because of this, yet I'm collecting "Top Fan Badges" from little pages where I just "like" their every post. |

My bank, payroll, and several other sites will send me private messages, or notifications, and these pile up over time, and if I go to clean them out, it's not even worth my time, because each message demands a four-step rigmarole to send it to the bitbucket, and there's no "Mark all as read" or "Delete all", and there's no selecting them in a group for a mass operation, either. At that point, I just hope and pray that they eventually expire on their own.
