Today I posted a picture of a stamp with an animal in it and they said the picture contained nudity and made me take it down, but I reported a photo of a guy with a fully visible swastika tattoo and they said that's fine.

I'd like to start a Lemmy community with photos of stuff that they refuse to remove called FacebookSaysItsFine.

It's not the same and you know it. I have the same issue with Instagram. Many of our interactions through the platform come from us reacting to each other's content (posts, stories, comments). Without that you lose a lot of "spontaneous" interaction.

Question is: How much does spontaneous interaction contribute to your life.

For me I found, it's not much more than a regular, short dopamine rush and lock-in in a certain bubble. Do I know a lot less about people? Sure. Do I miss something in my life? Hell no. That added peace is invaluable and a telephone call from time to time is much better.

That's a fair question.

Usually not much, so I have too started to log in far less frequently. However, as an example, I did get in touch once again with an old friend thanks to it (and we are still in touch), so it did help quite a bit in that regard. But I understand your point and I have been thinking about leaving the platform anyway due to all the privacy shitshow.

get in touch once again with an old friend

we all had this moment but at this time, it's unlikely any old friends will join FB/Instagram that haven't already.
