When Facebook got rid of their basic and mobile sites, I really thought I could hang in there. The main site was a bit clunky but it was doable. But, as time went on I found that every time I tried to comment on someone’s post, or when I tried to make my own, I’d get these search suggestions that would pop up and obliterate what I was trying to type in. I could not, for the life of me, get back to the comment or post I was trying to compose.
The other complaint I was trying to live with was that above everyone’s posts there were these many, many links that had either a letter, a number or some other unprintable character arranged in a vertical orientation. I had to scroll way down to see the actual post.
I hate to lose touch with old school friends and some long-lost family members, but these two things were driving me absolutely crazy.
I refused to get the app on my iPhone. I don’t like typing on that thing unless I absolutely have to do so. Dictation is hit and miss.
I had a pretty good run on Facebook my second time around. I had my first account when my third wife made it for me, but when we separated, actually before then, I gleefully deleted it, destroying all her hard work with a joyful smile on my face.
This second account was a harder decision and I do regret losing people I’d found or who had found me.
That’s bad about the search suggestions. I’ve found tabbing around reduces the letters and strange symbols. So for the moment, I’m sticking with it. Sorry for your bad experience.
I won’t be there to find out if they do fix it.
I hope they will get back accessibility on Facebook.
