Do people make friends on Facebook? I thought Facebook was the place old people went to learn new ways to be racist.

That's just not fair, it's also the place old people go to get their ~~news~~ propaganda.

It's also where you try to see if your cute coworker has any feet pics.

I forgot about cyber stalking!

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

I didn't. Bill.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 11 points 2 years ago

No way! They also re-learn old ways to be racist too. :-P

I’m part of a few groups and have been talking with the members for years. Some have become friends without ever meeting them irl

I don't know about new friends but more connect with your current ones

Dont forget the Insta thots on Reels

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey! Some of us are not that old!

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah but when you're young and stupid you have this idea that some slightly less young people are "old". I remember when I was young and stupid thinking someone who was 18 was "old".

The thing to look forward to is when these kids' music starts getting played on "golden oldies" radio channels.

Implying Facebook of all things is an improvement.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 61 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Pros: friends!

Cons: they're all racist boomers

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I love reading a long series of rants about how it's bullshit that the person in question got a temp ban for threatening to commit acts of terrorism.

That's not really Facebook either.

Imagine how grateful Zuckerberg must be that Musk made such a titanic public ass of himself and his platform that Facebook looks like the reasonable alternative.

[–] Cipher22@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Facebook is just the place I log into to be reminded of the stuff I forgot I volunteered for.

After Facebook forced me to choose between targeted ads and a fee 2 x that of Netflix i don't even bother logging in

[–] macrocephalic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Huh? I don't recall there ever being a subscription for FB. I also use social fixer extension which helps

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

In November Facebook started rolling out ad-free subscriptions. Before that you could set it to show ads that were not targeted. But after November this was no longer an option (in EU). You now have to accept targeted ads or pay for an ad-free subscription per account across Facebook and Instagram.

The link bellow is meta's own description but they don't mention that they no longer support untargeted ads like they used to
