Do people even still use Facebook or has it completely been taken over by bots at this point?
Groups, primarily. Marketplace somewhat. The rest is absolute trash.
Sometimes I go to fb to see a restaurants page or something, and when I press back it takes me to the front page. Out of morbid curiosity I sometimes scroll a bit, and lately there are so many posts from ~ 30-50yr old people pointing out how many mosques there are (here in Finland), how many people are wearing hijabs, etc. Like its straight up literal xenophobia, fear of foreign people.
right wing magats, mostly boomers/gen xers use it. thats why zuck see it as important to continue to grift from them. also its mostly ai slop anyways.
