#2It seems a day doesn't go by when another bit if negative news about FB comes out. We are our own worst enemy when this behavior is allowed.

#3I usually disable or just log out of my Facebook account for a couple months at a time. It's generally an improvement on quality of life when I'm logged off.

That is what we call "pushing an agenda". It is awfully tiresome. Seriously "forced" when what they describe is gaming of the system. It is downright disingenuous and it is goddamned everywhere from media conglomerates. They always do the same goddamn thing, treat their advertisers and politicians in power with kid gloves for funds and access. But when it comes to rivals it is suddenly knives out full Jameson demanding pictures of Spiderman.
I don't even like Facebook as a company and never used it but I find myself defending because it is such obvious complete bullcrap.

Would you expand on this? It's not at all clear to me who you believe is "pushing an agenda" or who is "gaming the system."
That may very well be my own reading comprehension issue, but I'm still a bit confused. If you'd help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

#6I wish more people would self host their instance in the fediverse.
Your posts can be traced back to you, your feed is chronological and moderation is back in your hands.
Propaganda is a HUGE issue, and I’m sure anyone won’t be able to spot every case of misinformation.
But everything could be back in your hands. Nobody can _FORCE_ content on you, you are in control of your own experience.

I don’t even know what agendaless news would look like. A newsfeed of press releases I guess. Point is, journalism starts with the premise that something objectionable is happening (otherwise, we could just enjoy the press releases and get on with life)

#10At this point the only shocking headline would be about facebook acting ethical in any way.
