This is another similar tool:

https://socialfixer.com/

It loads 10 posts at a time and filters out all of the junk. Then you have to manually load more posts.

It's really eye-opening when you load 10 posts and it filters out 9 of them.

But besides that, the thing that's really pushing me away from FB is the pure hate, agression and stupidity on display in the comments section of local groups. It hurts to see the levels people descend to when they can comment without any repercussions.

how someone with a banhammer hanging overhead behaves is nowhere near as valuable an indicator, compared to behaviour when there are no perceived consequences.

[the thing that's really pushing me away from FB is the pure hate, agression and stupidity on display in the comments section of local groups] -- you are seeing what lurks inside, and what degree of personal refraint exists.

actually, on NextDoor, the population is so limited that it's fairly productive to Mute/Block the hateful or dumb people ("excuse me, but please pick up after your dog.")

FB, of course, has billions of users so that doesn't work.

NextDoor where I live is overrun by advertisements for gutters and 1 day shower replacements.

Maybe I live in a boring area?

nextdoor wouldn't even onboard me, i sent a message with details to their team and they said they'd fix it for me... that was like 3 or 4 years ago. I had to define a new neighborhood, so maybe that's why?
Nobody stops anybody from making a antisocial network graph and use a bot to block out the sun..
omfg thank you so much. truly. it works with facebook container tabs too!
