Every time I open FB, I see only sponsored and suggested content, and never any content from friends, pages or groups I'm in.
Since a few years I moved my social media presence on Mastodon and Instagram (too many non-tech people stuck in Meta-lands). Honestly, I am kinda happy to see many of the pages I follow on FB moving to Threads, yes it is still Meta, but with the incoming ActivityPub integration it feels better.
I wonder how long until Meta will eventually integrate FB with Threads, so that you can easily crosspost between the two, as FB seems to be in maintenance mode since a while and I think Meta will eventually shift focus on Threads more (so expect Threads groups, Threads marketplace, Threads messenger, ...).
Hopefully with ActivityPub I can follow my racing teams pages from my own Mastodon-server and delete my Meta account (finally)...
Agreed. I opened the Facebook website on my phone last weekend to search for a pic on a kayak fishing group. It was impossible to navigate my feed, it was all sponsored content, ads, and Facebook’s ads for its own content.
