“But none of my friends are on there.”

Make new friends then.

    Right, so we just trade in our relatives for some new ones.

    That's the attitude that puts people off.

    At some point you have to jump ship and follow what fits you and your needs/wants in terms of security, morality (in the context of Meta and its complete lack of ethics), etc. You can try and get folks to try other platforms but most of them will inevitably fall back to what they know and never leave. I’m not going to keep Facebook around on the off chance that one relative needs to reach out. The relatives willing to actually make an effort can already text or call me and vice versa.

    This whole billionaire social media prison is not something I’m willing to keep destroying my mental health on over some “blood is thicker than water” bs.

    Yeah I get that, it's why I don't use FB anymore. I keep WhatsApp for close family though. They're is no other option. And dont tell me to use text. Doesn't cut it.
