Wtf did facebook marketplace just suggest to me?

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 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

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.

Let's talk about your typeface choices, son.

It helps to keep me lighthearted; the lightly-whimsical font (on just my phone) is easier on my brain. I work with a lot of intense situations that require a lot of critical thinking... so it's nice not to see the same font on my phone that I normally see when trying to mitigate an impending crash. It's just nicer for allowing my brain to switch gears between priorities... if that make sense?

I work critical care in a large hospital, and I've had to develop a bunch of coping skills to maintain my humanity/sanity as well as not bringing my work home with me everyday. Small changes can make a big impact sometimes

And I've learned to love the font. A lot of people may need the rigidity of a standard font, but I assume it's a per-basis situation

Thanks for doing what you do. I've spent too much time in critical care facilities, and every time, everyone working there has been the absolute best.

But it refuses to let me turn off notifications about "suggestions" Can you not just turn off all notifications for the app? Or uninstall the app ans use it in the browser as someone else suggested?
