Off topic, but I really hate this trend of using animate-in transitions for _every_ _single_ _section_ of the page. Why I do always have to scroll into a half a window's worth of blank background before the content appears with some cutesy slide-in animation? I could perhaps forgive it if it was just badly implemented lazy-loading images but it also does this for simple section titles and body text as well. It ends u…

Dude, we are hype and cool and we have the power of JS and CSS transitions at our fingertips. Why should we sacrifice our amazing experience that all end-users love just to please some purist-wannabe power user who enjoys to read content without hindrances, delays and amazing visual effects based on carefully-calculated bezier curves by our best-of-class team?

#104I can’t think of another company I’d want less to know my transaction and purchase history than FB/Meta. What happened to Zuckerberg’s shift to “video” or are they truly throwing anything and everything at the wall now?
The terrible thing is is that it's the easiest solution for me and my friend group to send money via Messenger.
The US has _really_ dropped the ball on any sort of easy-to-use, standardized money transfer. Zelle is the closest thing and it is a joke for every day usability.

I’m surprised it took this long.

#106The company, which hasn't been able to figure out the UI hell of the core product for more than a decade now must never be trusted with processing payments. Especially when you know where the data will end up, what will happen to it next and how the company makes money (98.5% from targeted ads)

Re: Facebook Pay
#108Earlier quoted context omitted.
Facebook had a multimillion dollar business (yes, million, not trillion, but this was solid) in the form of FB marketplace. That was the one part of FB that was super useful and if they hooked it up with a secure payment system that worked with these kinds of transactions it could have been amazing. Instead they squandered it on ads, as they always do. The platform is now unusable.
Is there any good alternative to FB MarketPlace these days? Craigslist is just too old fashioned and most people I know don't use it anymore.

I agree. The terrible thing is is that it's the easiest solution for me and my friend group to send money via Messenger. The US has _really_ dropped the ball on any sort of easy-to-use, standardized money transfer. Zelle is the closest thing and it is a joke for every day usability.
