Facebook has lots of good corners of their products. Marketplace is ok-ish. Events is OK. Even Messenger is an ok sub-app of Facebook.

The one app that’s unusably bad is the “feed” (or whatever it’s called these days). I use Facebook almost daily but can’t understand why anyone would use the feed bit. Even back when it was friends’ posts it was bad. Now that it’s half commercial half TikTok rabbit hole why does anyone even use it?



Market place, through messenger has significant fraud for sim/phone hijacking. Things Facebook's controls are supposed to achieve that Craigslist suffered from


What's that fraud? To me all it does is let me send a FB messenger to someone on my block who's selling some used gadget, and I walk over there and buy it. How does fraud or phone numbers even enter into it?
