I'm intrigued and and a bit confused about all this, and the recent celebrations over its temporary outage
I've never seen any news or politics, fascist or otherwise, on Facebook, just nice interesting people and friends who live abroad. Am I doing it wrong?

I've never seen real fascism on facebook
In fact, I'm in a Dad's Army appreciation group that had posts removed by facebook because they mentioned Hitler, nazis or swastikas.
I've muted and unfriended some of my US 'friends' as they turned out to be avid Trump supporters. Another one, a seemingly normal nice guy, recently outed himself as an antivaxxer.
You just never can tell, can you.

From my perspective the people you've muted sound like real fascists.
E.g. supporting Donald Trump, a fascist, makes you a supporter of fascism. Just going by the dictionary, that makes Donald Trump supporters real fascists.
Anti-vaxxers are fighting a simultaneously strong and weak, ingenious and stupid, complicated and simple nebulous enemy. That's at least the mechanics of real fascism.
I suspect the facebook algorithm needs more than just a mention of Hitler to get a post removed. People were able to organise an actual genocide of the Rohingya people on facebook, after all.

no, but if you see rightwing videos or memes and click like, you'll see more of them, and soon that's all you'll see, along with ads
and if you're a dickwit who doesn't trust mainstream news, this bubble will become your source of 'truth', which is worrying. I use it like yourself, a handy way to keep in some touch with people I'm now distanced from, though there's few on it under the age of 30 I've noticed. but I did make the error of once clicking on a trouser ad, and now half my feed is trouser ads given it's the only thing its algorithm tells it I've shown an interest in

Fair enough. Safe to say I don't click Like on rightwing videos so that's why I don't get them.
