    Meta is doing great if all you care about is liking pictures of your nieces and nephews. That’s not totally fair, they do allow niche communities to post information and share photos. But there’s no where near the thought provoking discussion that Reddit or Lemmy provide.

      They are also heavy-handed with moderation and auto-moderation. I’m in a private tabletop wargame group, and a popular game from the early days of wargaming is called Third Reich, say that on Facebook, and get a 30-day ban.

      Depends on a country. In Poland Facebook is the place for discussions in many many communities gathered on Facebook groups. They have all the Reddit vibe of sharing informations with similar variety of topics from cats to serious military analytics.

      The difference is Facebook doesn’t want to be indexed so those posts never reach beyond Facebook audience.
