We have to unite to get enough people together so we can get rid of those Meta products, especially Instagram & WhatsApp!

      im not. I don’t think they will. I think we can be an option and we can stay away from it but getting everyone off of it would be like trying to get everyone to stop watching tv. I mean more power to you but I just don’t see it happening. At least not in this we get everyone off way. I think we can improve till its just a better option. Its like science fiction and fantasy were niche things but hey lewis was kinda right that it was getting hip to be square. If people come it will be more organic and likely will also result in a lot of corpo prescence.

        Eh. I have half a foot in terminally-onlineland and half a foot in normie-land and I don’t use Facebook. One friend moving off Instagram got me to pull the trigger to do the same. It’s possible, and showing people you can and some steps can help make it less intimidating.

          was that friend online or in person. I always tell my friends and family to get off that trump but they have reasons and I get it. I mean im techinically on facebook I just don’t go on it everyday and scroll. I check my condos page and if anyone messaged me in the last week or so. Im on linkedin but im looking for work. I don’t generally post or interact with it as social media. Heck maybe thats why im not hired. “this guys linkedin is just a resume. no rah rah syncophantic bs. hes not a team player.”
