"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

Terf journo.

My account has been hacked and because Facebook sucks, I can’t get back in. My email has been changed and ph number erased - so the only way to get in is to be sent a code, but only through the email it’s been changed to

Does this link work for you?

No - Facebook will only send a recovery code to the new email that’s been added to my account

That's really dumb. I had thought they'd give an alternate way to authenticate if you report being hacked.

I had a friend of a friend get locked out by a hackers and get back in, I'll ask what they did

In the last few days I've noticed my feed seems to be almost entirely suggested posts with the odd meme from groups I follow. Hardly any content from my friends. Not sure exactly when this encroachment truly started but it's lousy

You can curate this somewhat with the show more / show less buttons. Whenever I see a post from a friend I tell it to show me more like this. Whenever I see a suggested post I tell it to show me less like this. It seems to be working, at least for me.

If you view FB in a browser rather then app you can install Facebook Purity which gets rid of all that shit.

lol Purity has been amazing. sadly I tend to use it more on my phone these days but it gets all the keywords you wanna avoid out, plus that stuff too

This @highlight thing got annoying really quick.

Please, if you’re sending a fellow ilxor a friend request and their profile is set to private, introduce yourself unless you already use your full govt name here. Not gonna accept just because we have ilx friends in common if I don’t know who you are on this forum. Like, my profile is private for a reason.

There's a Facebook page called "Caught in the act" with more than a million followers which posts what used to be known as "fail" videos, but with zero content control. This includes traffic accidents where people are clearly severely injured or even killed. I reported one.

I also reported a comment on a local newspaper article about a pride event which wished death on LGBT people, same result. Not sure there's any point.

I've given up. A report of a white guy using the n-word "didn't violate community standards " this month
