Why is Facebook so shit?!

Wtf is wrong with Facebook? First world problem I know but when I go to look at my feed on the iPhone app (and update the feed) it's showing me posts made by casual acquaintances weeks ago. And repeatedly! This is not new, it's been happening for months

  • a woman who once lived in my childhood street's, daughters, 18th birthday on 1st August. Always in the first two posts served to me. No new comments since I last saw it so it's not that.
  • woman I went To school with is selling her bike (3rd august) I've seen that fucking bike so many sodding times
Meanwhile close friends posts I never see, some pitch up in my feed several days later. Groups I follow (sales ones especially where you have to be quick) I barely see any posts and then I get several in quick succession weeks later.

How the hell do I just make it 'chronological order' and not 'the same post and pictures of Mary and her boyfriend on holiday in Crete three weeks ago'?

Install FBPurity. www.fbpurity.com

It allows most recent to stay clicked, kills all the ads, puts notifications back into chronological order and reverses many other of the "improvements" FB likes to inflict on us.
