The alternative is Facebook- (reads Facebook- or NoFacebook also known as FacebookNo). A social platform designed to give you back the time you lose to endless scrolling. It comes with less noise, less manipulation, and more control. No tracking. No targeting. No advertising. No engagement traps engineered to keep you hooked. Also zero profit for social media CEO if that warms your heart.

Its giving "we've tried everything and we're all out of ideas"

I can't imagine the mind that wants more facebook.

Why the fuck is it all focused on Stories?

I would understand if it were like Marketplace Premium or something. Stories?
