Once a Social Playground
Ah, Facebook. Remember when it was a joyful cornucopia of cat memes and cringe-worthy friend requests? I do! Back in the day, it felt like a neighborhood barbecue rather than a dystopian nightmare. But then, somewhere along the line, Mark Zuckerberg decided that we needed a sprinkle of “adulting” mixed in with our late-night scrolls. Spoiler alert: it’s not working, buddy!
Time to Make Facebook Great Again?
Mark has the audacity to promote a “Make Facebook Great Again” initiative. Really? What’s next? “Unleash the Beasts of 2014?” Because let’s face it, that feels about as genuine as a $3 bill. Zuck, while you’re at it, why not tackle the actual elephant in the room—the privacy violations? A friendly reminder: putting a lock on your personal diary doesn’t mean you’re not peeking at my diary, sweetheart!
Ghosts of Facebook Past
And then there’s the actual social experience—missing in action like that one high school friend who went to find themselves in Bali (but totally didn’t). My news feed is now a bizarre mix of Right Wing political rants, Russian propaganda,, and trolls who get perverse kicks out of calling liberals fags . Imagine being bombarded with questionable tips on how to brew kombucha while you’re just trying to find out who got voted off the island! Thanks, Zuckerberg, for curating this mess.
Hey Mark, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, how about just getting rid of the flat tire first? Here’s to the hope that someday, we might stumble back upon the original Facebook—the one where fun thrived and not every click led to RW inspired chaos.
