i can't believe i'm saying this, but i'm finding myself enjoying facebook more. the UI and design feels vintage early 2010s, the choice of reactions is nice vs just liking or upvoting something, you can sort the replies by chronology / recent / best instead of being forced to read blue-check morons, there's an incredible depth of content, hobby groups, local interests, etc that simply couldn't exist on twitter. it feels more like a forum.

it does also suck, of course, but it sucks in a slightly less grating way than reddit and twitter.

No. I actually just deleted the app from my phone. Not only was Facebook my personal doomscrolling hell, but any time I touched my phone, I would muscle memory my way to Facebook and burn 10 more minutes. I'm realizing how much I would do it after deleting the app: reaching for it with my thumb only to find it's not there.
