Meanwhile my reports of content featuring actual violence, bigotry, and animal abuse inevitably result in “Thank you for your report. We have reviewed the content and determined it does not violate community standards. Here’s what you can do instead…”

I've seen the same response so many times when I report something that I simply gave up reporting anything. In previous years I've seen the videos of a genocidal pastor from USA who was openly calling for white Americans to kill gays and black people. When I reported the video, guess what answer I got... But when I uploaded a picture of my favorite actress (you can see her on my profile pic) from the neck and above, Suckerberg decided it was "nudity and sexual activity" and banned me for 3 days. After the 5th or 6th request to review the image, it was finally determined it was OK but... they didn't lift the ban on my account. So I was banned for literally doing nothing wrong.
Literally 100% of the time for me
If you have used facebook in the past 5 years, you aren't "anti-facebook."
Do you know what to go do with yourself, or should I spell it for you?
The final straw to leave and this time for good (bc the platform threatened me with IP and network ban, if I deleted my account - which I did) was after I shared a link to a FF extension (in a Firefox group) I revived and improved (the extension was abandoned 4 years ago). Fascistbook deleted my post with two reasons: "fraudulent content" and "offensive content". I didn't know that uploading an extension on AMO (addons dot mozilla dot org) was considered fraudulent and offensive on Fascistbook. Looks like it's true that now Suckerberg hates Linux (bc I mentioned the extension works on both Windows and Linux versions of Firefox) and deletes/block anything related to it.
In any case, I'm not going back there ever again. I could use a VPN, if I wanted to get back on FB, but I won't. Like the CEO like the "social" network - garbage. It's gotten so bad there that you can't even share a video of Pussycat Dolls because of the word "Pussy" and the bots think that the band's name is a derogatory term for a woman, therefore it gets instantly removed. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I left several years ago and haven't looked back. You'll be a lot saner for it.
I guess I just wanted to see if it has gotten better. Looks like it's gotten worse, not better.
Once a year I check in on my fake birthday that I set my profile to. It's nice to get un-birthday wishes from your not real friends.
Funny. But my friends there are real. I have 12 or 13 friends and I know them all personally. I never accept friendship invitations from people I don't know and that applies for all sites, not just FB. I'll just drop by to leave a pinned post where they can find me and then completely remove FB from the browser.
