Facebook Down

[Rural]

Basically that FB put profits ahead of user's well being. FB internal research discovered that people prefer dumpster fire to blah, blah information. Not really much insight- why else was NASCAR popular? People love crashes, not cars running in circles!!

IMO a bit hypocritical coming from a network News organization.

Yes, they also blatantly lied about disinformation algorithms .

How does someone from outside FB nuke the DNS records for the entire domain? Sounds like something that should be impossible.

H

Facebook still works on my phone but not my laptop.

Not to start this, but that's not even close to accurate. NASCAR was popular because of a popular crop of drivers and competitive racing, not crashes.

Doesn't most news organizations do the exact same thing?

There is likely some cached info on your phone but if you try to interact it will be "No Soup for You!"

I say get rid of them all, people will move on fairly quickly and find out what a time suck it was. Life is not lived on an app.

Investigation journalism is good. But when you insert too much opinion into a factual story.. They loose credibility

I use Facebook to follow my favorite local businesses and bands I like and have screened out a lot of my actual "friends" by unfollowing them so I don't mind scrolling through Facebook but I also have no love for the actual company so if they take a hit that's fine by me.

Just checked in with my wife to make sure she's going to survive and I haven't heard back from her yet. Growing concerned.

I wish they'd get Instagram back up, I miss scrolling through the 3/4's naked females I follow. I'm starting to get anxious.

3/4 of them are naked or they are 3/4 naked each.

Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, PornHub... All getting some boosted usage

They are likely scrubbing their sites due to pending lawsuit that is coming. Good riddance, wish it was permanent.

I wouldn't shed a tear if they are shut down. What started as a good idea has turned into a complete mess just because of greed.

So like, is there any point to keeping your kids in sports anymore if you can't post about the sick banner they won in a U9 baseball tournament?

PornHub seems like the most healthy alternative.....

All of the major 24 hour news channels publish similar content to drive clicks.

Twitter is getting highly amusing for sure with the influx.

Yes all of them including the ones you listed above, they are detrimental to the health and well being of society, like a controlled substance.

I purpose a 100 billion dollar fine for Zuckerberg.
