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.
The protocol isn’t designed to defend against these threats. It does, however, provide the tools to authenticate both the sender and the sender’s server, so Fediverse servers can set up their own spam filter policies relatively securely.
Unfortunately, very few Fediverse projects seem to have paid any attention to spam filters.
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
