Same. I miss the days of the chronological feed. Facebook's algorithms seem to choose a handful of people and groups I'm connected to and constantly show me their content and nothing else. It's always illuminating when I look someone up after wondering what happened to them only to see that they've been keeping up with Facebook, but I just don't see any of their posts.
yesterday, in fact, I saw a post from a family member that I really wanted to read, I started but was interrupted. When I had a chance to focus again, I re-opened the FB app and the post was nowhere to be seen, scrolled up, scrolled down, it was gone. I had to search for my family member to find it again. Super frustrating, and makes you wonder what FB decided you didn't need to see (which I guess is the point of this whole thread)...
I agree with this. I have a mildly addictive personality and found I had to block my newsfeed to keep myself (mostly) off facebook. I follow a couple of groups which are useful to me and basically nothing else.
I deleted all of my old posts to reduce the amount of content FB has to lure my friends into looking at ads. But because of the covid-19 pandemic I was using facebook again to keep in contact with people. Now that restrictions are eased in my country I can see people again, and have deleted my facebook posts.
The whole point of having friends and being able to (un)follow people is to I can curate my own feed.
I don't use Facebook anymore except for hobby related groups like my motorcycling group.
