Great article. One of the best things i’ve done in recent years is delete the Facebook app from my phone. I’ve noticed how “boring” pixelfed is in comparison to Instagram, which is great, because it doesn’t suck my time away!

This quote really disgusted me:

Leaked internal presentations from Facebook (obtained by whistleblower Frances Haugen in 2021) revealed that the company knew its platform was causing measurable harm, especially to young users, yet downplayed these findings.

How irresponsible, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, either.

!leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world maybe? Not sure if that’s exactly what you’re looking for…

I’ve noticed the same. A handful of LadyButterfly’s posts over various communities aren’t showing up at all or only loading a small portion of the image. Not sure why either!

Makes sense but it’s something I never really thought about before!

Equally important, my dog —who loves birds— is very intrigued by that video.

It depends on my mood, but I quite enjoy “Christmas Crack” (otherwise known as saltine cracker toffee, apparently), shortbread, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pomegranates, and mandarin oranges and consider them all to be specifically holiday/Christmas snacks.

[Edit for spelling]

Social media is dead because Meta killed it.

Maybe people have stopped posting as much… But I only stopped posting because the platform became filled with garbage and it’s not worth my time to log on. If I could still interact with friends and family like you could 10 years ago, I would probably still be posting things.
