Antisocial Media

Not only is Meta the company itself ontologically evil, but they also push new frontiers in Awful User Experience and Hostile Interface Design.

And when I say "ontologically evil", I am not being flippant or hyperbolic.

Never used Threads, stopped updating Instagram when the schoolgirl scandal broke, deleted the apps from all my devices... but I more or less have to keep at least a token toehold on FB and it grates me.

The single thing I hate most on the entire internet now is Facebook automatically sending me to my Feed if I leave a browser tab open to a post for too long.

I never use the feed. The feed is ass cancer. It is the throbbing heart of the terrible user experience on FB.
