Interesting read about how the new format, and Facebook in general, is designed to thwart good quality engagement rather than aid it

As for the new layout, is this the one they introduced a couple of months ago, or are they doing something even newer/worse?
I'm currently using it in dark mode on safari.
FWIW the phone version is actually really good.Leave a comment:

I always use it off my phone but did try to use on the PC recently and it was appalling! I completely agree that they have bastardised itLeave a comment:

Not really noticed any other issues with it.. Except... I'm sure I don't always get notifications now (checked the settings for various groups and they are still set to notify).Leave a comment:

Adblock has been helpful though. Hid some parts of the page entirelyLeave a comment:

I've already attacked it with AdBlock to remove the pointless "stories" top-bar that was eating 20% of the space, but I seem to recall there are ways to monkey with individual sites/pages?
Not sure if this is worse because I have a high-res monitor (QHD) - I thought Mac was better at this?
Of course lots of people are off FB these days.
