Muting is not a good solution because they you spend your whole day muting accounts. Eventually like X, the bots are just too many to keep muting.
The toaster story is not Facebook's fault. That's the life is selling things. It's a terrible job because fiat people have major issues.
Facebook won because of the features. It has some of the most amazing features to connect others and make networks.
I remember exactly how Facebook started. Exactly like Noatr. Everyone just started adding random people to get the ball rolling and eventually as everyone else joined. The majority of people just followed family, friends, co-workers etc. There was never any issue of spam because of the friend request issue.
Nostr is more like X, where anyone can interact with you which causes spam.
Yes. You are right. Facebook and most app listen to keywords you type or say and then they use that push ads on you. I've said I wanted to eat chicken many times and eventually a minute later KFC ads popup.
Facebook sucks because it's centralized but we can't ignore the features. The features is what made Facebook the king and still currently the king as it's used by billions.
I would rather give away my toaster too then deal with fiat people.
