Has anyone else gravitated back to facebook a bit? (lemmy.world)

i can't believe i'm saying this, but i'm finding myself enjoying facebook more. the UI and design feels vintage early 2010s, the choice of reactions is nice vs just liking or upvoting something, you can sort the replies by chronology / recent / best instead of being forced to read blue-check morons, there's an incredible depth of content, hobby groups, local interests, etc that simply couldn't exist on twitter. it feels more like a forum.

it does also suck, of course, but it sucks in a slightly less grating way than reddit and twitter.

I completely deleted my Facebook account nearly 6 years ago now and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. From what I've read online it's only gotten worse with age, so I'd say it's a safe bet I'm never going back to it.

I got rid of Twitter and Reddit as each site was basically destroyed by megalomaniacal money-grubbing CEOs

They're all shit, why would I ever want to start using any of them again?
