I get some pseudo-science (but it is funny, ancient aliens and quantum bullshit), a little bit of politics (but like, links to the Atlantic or whatever, so nothing too offensive), and lots of gaming stuff. Overall, I really do not like Facebook (I’m only on there because some relatives are). I just think their algorithm is somewhat effective. I think I’ve managed to get them to label me as somebody with strong political opinions but low emotional valence toward politics, by marking some political posts or pseudo-political posts as offensive to me, but never allowing political content to “dwell” in premium screen space in the app. Edit: I say I think their algorithm is effective, although I should say, I’m pretty sure I did trick it. In fact I’m very concerned about politics but I make sure to only angstily read articles I disagree with in Firefox browser with lots of tracking protection on. |

Similar to me. Friends and relatives. Its also how the home education community in the UK communicates (I admin two groups, and that is my main reason for being on it regularly), an unfortunate reflection of the hold FB has on the demographic (middle aged because they are parents, mostly women because even in the 21st century men do not bring up kids).
