They are trying what Facebook did to their Facebook chat, forcing users to use the app by banning mobile web access
And I’m curious how many facebook users have the chat app. (and how many just walked away)
I’m one of those who just walked away.
I checked out Facebook recently because I needed help moving and it was the quickest way to ask everyone I knew.
That shit is like 90 percent ads and clickbait tick tocks now. It’s fucked. I don’t understand how people can use it without becoming enraged.
I use it solely to talk to friends and family members who I otherwise wouldn’t be in touch with. I don’t participate in groups or get into arguments or anything like that. That, plus being able to dismiss things like political ads so you never have to see them (at least for now), make it acceptable for me to use. I wouldn’t say it’s a great experience in any way, but it isn’t bad enough for me to find new ways to keep in touch with those people.
I refuse to install anything Facebook related on my outcome. I was one who has to walk away.
I stopped using Facebook altogether because of that.
Reddit follows the enshittification.
iirc you can still use Facebook messenger with the m.facebook com at the mobile browser to chat
On iOS at least, fb messenger on mobile is just a redirect to the app store to get the app, the Web messenger is not functional anymore, sadly. At least when I just tested it just now!
