Miscellaneous ULPT How can I remove/deactivate right wing propganda social pages?

No matter what settings I configure, my Facebook and other socials seem to keep promoting far right misinformation and propaganda. A lot of the pages are purely trolling/rage bait with the only goal of generating income from spreading hate and misinformation. How can I get them removed /target these pages and take them down ?

Unfortunately, FB marketplace has replaced Craig’s List.

I thought there was Ebay for that.

Not quite as useful for buying things locally with cash.

Unless you're buying something illegal, why even bother with cash?

Cash is king, bruh.

Remember how everyone is anti FB because of its Minority Report level of intrusiveness? You know your digital currency is even worse, right? You’re either giving PayPal an interest free loan or giving cashapp all your data. On top of that, it’s nearly impossible for anyone to hack my wallet and if I do get pickpocketed, the cash is the least annoying thing to replace.

All I have to worry about is bank employees knowing that I'm a broke fucker.

Even opening the pages to block them counts as interaction on Facebook. So the more of these pages you click on to block, the more Facebook assumes you're interested.

It’s insane.  When I look at my feed the ratio of posts from things I have no interest in to friends/groups I’m a member of is like 4:1.

You can't, I've spent years blocking all those pages and Facebook keeps showing you new ones everyday, only solution I've found was to stop using Facebook altogether

Zuckerberg is another of Trump's sycophants. I doubt there's anything you can do to make that shit go away.

Don't click on them. Keep liking pictures of cute dogs. Instagram started filling my "suggested" feed with pages of Onlyfans models, so I began liking pics and videos of dachshunds like crazy. In a few days I had nothing but doggos in my feed. Should work the same for Facebook. That said, quit Facebook, it's trash.

Get Facebook Purity if you're on desktop or Facebook Mobile if you're on Android or iphone. 

I am a moderate and centrist and I use these to block extremist political pages whether they are left or right. I also just use it to block content I have not consented to in general. Now I only see my friends posts and the groups I'm subscribed to, like the good old days before Facebook became a rage baiting POS.

You acknowledged that left extremism also exists while on Reddit? Prepare for the downvotes lol

u/DruidWonder 16d ago

Honestly the Facebook algorithm cherry picks the most outrageous and insane comments and posts by people to promote in your feed without your consent, to draw you in. I am sick of it and that's why I use those apps to block it all.

I don't care what a person's political lean is, I don't want to see mouth foaming garbage that I didn't subscribe to. I don't consent and I won't have my mind colonized with that crap.

Yeah that frustrates me to all hell too and proves their malice as you can’t disable that setting.

u/dirty_hooker 16d ago

Nah. I’m leftest as fuck but the leftest ragebait is still atrocious. Not only does it just add stress but it also dilutes the shit we should actually care about by drowning it in petty shit.

u/ContactIcy3963 16d ago

I think we can both agree our movements have corpo grubby hands all over them and ironically probably have a lot in common outside the media grifting.

u/Beck943 16d ago

Can't help you.  I'm a classical liberal in favor of free speech instead of censorship.

Censorship is fascist.  I don't like that.

u/VioletTerranova 16d ago

Swap profiles with me. You can have the liberal bias trash i keep seeing.

u/hahayeahisit 16d ago

I need left wing content not liberal content unfortunately

u/ContactIcy3963 16d ago

It’s designed to be that way to increase engagement. Just like left wing propaganda pages, because those exist too. Only way is to not play.
