      It’s fuckin’ unavoidable. I don’t use any part of it, except for Marketplace, because nothing like it exists. It doesn’t matter if it’s shit, it’s where the stuff is listed for sale.

      As for the rest of it, I just quit. Conversations I used to have on messenger have moved elsewhere.

        There really needs to be an organized effort from sellers and buyers to identify a solid alternative, which is hard. And post listing about moving off to that platform. A lot of existing ones have their own downsides, and there are just not enough people on them consistently and actively

          I like Craigslist, and honestly it’s pretty good now. There just isn’t anyone on there as compared to Facebook marketplace.

      FB itself for a community group, and Messenger for my family group chat 🤷

      The group now has a presence on Discord, but there are still 26 times as many members on FB. In Hungary many people still use FB as their main social network. At most they also use Instagram, but that obviously doesn’t work for closed discussion groups.

      Fediverse is still mostly Westerner.

      While on Facebook, there are a ton of community from SEA, East Asia, Africa, Middle East, and so on.

      Also, Facebook Lite makes the poorest people in my country to be able to access social media without using too many internet quota.

      The variation of groups is far beyond any social media, even Reddit or any other community site. You can get thousands of variation of Minecraft groups that exactly suits your community needs. Or maybe just a city chicken fried seller community.

      The distressing thing for me is knowing that a lot of my friends (and exes) are exactly the sort of people that’ll just absent-mindedly click OK without reading it and share every single photo they’ve ever taken of me; photos which Facebook’s facial recognition will easily tag.

    If you’re still on Facebook, you’re probably not aware of what this means or why it’s a bad thing.

    I bet a lot of people will slow because they will not read it or not really understand what they are accepting. Some will even share the new AI creating as something nice while they are giving up their private photos to Meta

    No telling what else they do with your pictures once they’re on Meta’s servers. Literal spyware (as if it hasn’t already been for a long time).

    Imagine having your nudes accidentally ghiblified, with the originals stored indefinitely on Meta’s servers.

    don’t have Facebook on your phone?

    better yet, don’t have Facebook?

    zero sympathy for anyone caught in this, you’ve all been warned for at least a decade on what supporting Facebook means, why get upset about this now?

      I don’t have many pictures of myself on my own phone. Most pictures of me are on the phones of the people who took them.

      My mom has facebook and also has my photos.

      Unless we can get EVERYONE to respect each others’ privacy, arsoning meta ceo until next one gets scared is the only option.

        I always wonder why people like him are still casually strolling around while being the personified evil for 20+ years. It sure is evidence that Karma doesn’t exist.

      The LAST thing I’d do with my mobile phone is install Facebook or Instagram. What a nightmare.

        I still use Facebook (many friends and relatives still there) but only through the web browser. Never ever install an app if you can help it. FB has tried to make the web version worse and worse in the mobile browser, though, to try to force people to use the app. Comment input boxes got janky and now chat is impossible unless you check “desktop site”. These things worked fine a couple years ago.

      Problem is if you have family on other countries most use WhatsApp for everything, it’s hard for some to not have any Meta app.

    Yes. Just because the feature isn’t useful to you doesn’t mean it won’t be useful to others.

        Do you comply with relevant ISO and PCI standards and have a privacy policy? What country of origin is your business registered to? What are you offering me in return got my information?

        Don’t be ignorant lol.
