Like I know this isn’t a shock to anyone. But it’s a super surprise to me. So since 2011 I was really busy with various educational or work stuff, and never had time to log in. When I did log in to post something random for family to see, I had that Fluffbusters extension that cuts out the extra shit that Meta adds to your feed.
So recently I was forced to use the FB app to do some IRL stuff related to Palestine. Holy shit the unfiltered site is garbage. You have to scroll through 10 or so unrelated pages to see your friends’ posts. And the sheer volume of paid Israeli stuff is mind blowing, despite me trying to tell the algorithm that I don’t like it. And despite me being friends with and liking shitloads of ML stuff, I keep getting Unilad level “let’s save a bunch of puppies” content. Like I get why people who use traditional social media become liberals or worse, I even found myself becoming a bit more lib looking at it.
I liked that picture of Jesus cradling an extra pair of legs that were jutting out of his chest that had like 150k likes lmao
My aunt on Facebook shares an AI Jesus several times a day. Each more horrifying than the last and yet she seems unaware of what they are. I wanna sit with her and ask if she truly believes a three handed child made a 20 foot tall Jesus out of sand. Or that a bus labeled “Shgoopl Baus” full of melty faced people all held up various incorrect versions of the American flag.
She simply doesn’t see it. They look like real pictures to her
I don’t think they care to be honest. Just like what the picture represents.
