This seems like a good opportunity to prove the resiliency of the protocol to me.

We will weather this shit.

Yeah, I mean, dealing with issues like this is still better than being on a corporate monarchy like twitter or fb 🤷‍♂️

I remember at it's worst spam being every third post on insta and FB.

And by spam I mean ads.

And by at it's worst I mean so far.

So I'm still very happy with the switch

I haven't had a FB account in years, but a friend has been on it for nearly 2 decades. They said there's no longer any posts from people on their Friends lists, it's become nearly all ads/spam as they scroll.
