It’s basically infested with ads and bad AI content upvoted by bots. Even without a ban nobody should use that POS

They should start up their own Friendica instance!
Hopefully the nation of Bougainville boycotts Facebook too.

This is good. But is there really pornography on Facebook? I thought they didn’t allow it and would automatically remove links? That was years ago though. Maybe they don’t care anymore.

The best way to convince people is to say it protects children or stops terrorism.
