Some Facebook users were shocked to see Trump in their feeds yesterday, but that’s likely because they were already following official administration accounts.
Am I missing something? This explanation actually seems reasonable. I swear I saw a couple people last election complain they were suddenly following Biden, because they were following the POTUS account.
I’m not trying to defend the fash propaganda that is Facebook, but also its users can be pretty dense.

Some friends were freaking out about following JD Vance on Instagram. Then they realized they had followed @vp when it was Kamala’s handle.

How is it an alternative?
Ah sweet, so it’s only 99% fucked! Now I can go back to sharing misleading news stories in peace.
Usually when a corporation has to say it … it usually means the opposite of what they just announced.
Glad i left Facebook 10 years ago or so.
Do you know how to tell if someone isn’t on Facebook?

“Facebook says it’s not forcing you to use Facebook”
Right… along with “X does not force you to follow Musk”.
Took me blocking 100+ accounts that kept reposting Musk, but “technically” it worked in the end. We’ll see if it lasts.
