It more so changed how and who I stay in touch with. I ended up spending time elsewhere on the web to get my fill of politics and memes.\n\nI wish Facebook reverted back the feed and algo of earlier years. It boomed because people could connected with people they already knew, but perhaps had a harder time having casual interactions with due to whatever factor. It also allowed people to share media more easily with IRL contacts in a nice way. The algo now just maximizes how long you stay on there. It has gotten good in doing so in a way that is probably like that of Tiktok. Again, I don't like much short video in my life so I don't use Tiktok.\n\nWe will see if they decide to give me my account back in the near future or not. If not, I will miss those easily facilitated casual connections with people I know. I will miss the marketplace that has replaced Craigslist in the last few years. I will miss a few of the groups. I won't miss the rest.","farcaster":"https://farcaster.xyz/icetoad/0x843aac06","firefly":"https://firefly.social/post/farcaster/0x843aac0684478044dcee09e7a3a76fd078a804c6","note":"author hasn't signed the social smart contract; the cast may be restricted on farcaster.xyz"}
