Idk if this is the right community, but I was absolutely FLOORED this morning by this notification; and needed people to see (so I don't feel so crazy)

I'm moving and trying to sell a futon... so I'm using facebook marketplace. But it refuses to let me turn off notifications about "suggestions", and I guess I just have to deal with it for now

What the actual fuck kinda notification just popped onto my phone though (from facebook's marketplace)? Idk what to even do after seeing it, so here I am trying to make sense of it in anyway I can

What the actual fuck y'all?.

I dunno, but you have facebook and that font installed on your phone, so Im suspicious of your claim.

Is it one of those fonts that dyslexic people find easier to read?

I think it's one of these fonts that creates new dyslexic people like those ticks that make people allergic to red meat.

It's like the Comic Sans version of The Ring.

It's the reading equivalent of the Porygon episode of Pokemon.

I’m pretty sure that font just made me dyslexic

It's not one intentionally made for it.

Marketplace is the only reason I ever let Facebook temporarily live on my phone. Craig’s List isn’t what is used to be.

You can just use the website. No need for their spyware app.

There isn't a difference with how ingrained Meta is

[-] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 months ago

Very big difference the fact the app can continue tracking rather or not you ever login via a browser. Atleast with a browser, it can be contained.
