I hate Facebook but I need it for local shit. I don’t use the timeline and I don’t post, but I need it for marketplace and for a locals forum.

If you got zero engagement when your friends normally at least drop a thumbs up then that post never showed up on anyone’s feeds.

I put out the first version of that post while I’m getting my data fully packed up. Not a single response. Not even a like.

I suspect many platforms detect and shadowban content like this, or at least demote it or restrict its visibility. It’s what I would do if I ran an unethical social media platform trying to increase the number of active users.
