I tried this before I left Facebook and realized there was nothing left I cared to see.

Facebook sucks in general, IMO. I found that unless you're following interesting people, and you like your family (and they don't just rage and aggrieve post), its a really garbage platform. It's best use is as a calendar.

Social media in general sucks. It's full of people with attention-seeking problems, scammers, or groups trying to indoctrinate you for political or commercial purposes. Social media platforms exist primarily to steal and sell your personal information to advertisers since that is their only real revenue stream. You aren't the customer, you are the product being sold to advertisers and big data companies.

Facebook is good for groups about specific things in specific locations. That's about it

It's even worse now with how aggressively they shove garbage "reels" in your face. All the reels I've seen have been incredibly stupid clickbait or just some dumbass video of a pretty girl staring in to the camera or taking her underwear off under a long shirt. I have yet to see a reel that is actually entertaining or funny and it's become so annoying that I rarely even log on to Facebook any more.

Also, I aggressively clicked the "Don't show me this page" link on every single "Suggested post" a couple years ago while also browsing in a container tab in Firefox. Evidently if you deprive Facebook of enough metrics to collect on you, you run the risk of getting banned without warning for "not being your authentic self". They demanded a government ID from me, then ignored me. It took me almost 6 months to get my account back. If it weren't for the fact that I had some baby pics of my kids uploaded there with no other backup, I would have just left it banned.
