Genuinely the worst user interface design I've ever encountered. Like, there's a lot to be said for Facebook's generally corrosive behavior as a company at a large scale. But for right now, I just want to focus on the fact that it's fully miserable to interact with the website on a moment to moment basis as a user. Case in point: Right now, I'm attempting to change a password. A function which most websites have figured out, even standardized. The experience of changing a password is never phenomenal, but in some case it's at least ... possible?This brings me to the problem. I go to change my password. A window pops up letting me know that a message has been sent to my whatsapp account. I don't HAVE a whatsapp account. I did NOT set up 2FA on this account. If I go to change my 2FA settings, I encounter the SAME window telling me a message has been sent to my whatsapp.At this point, I'm going to go make a whatsapp account, I guess, so I can log into meta (formerly facebook)'s flagship product. This will probably work. I will probably, eventually gain access to a facebook account I use for work. But I'm not happy about it, and want to log my misery and frustration with this anti-human website and company somewhere in response.There's more, of course. Every time I interact with this website I discover a new and thoroughly baffling arrangement of what are, at this point in the internet age, standard interface features. It's agony.I've spent many years avoiding using facebook, and if you can do the same I highly recommend it. This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. Stay away.
