Bullshit. I have never used facebook and I have never had an issue where I needed to.
If you are selling second hand, use a different platform. No one is making you use marketplace.
There are online portals, calendars, and even emails that notify parents of students and events.
You can call you friends and find out how they are doing. You can also email to keep in touch. Stop posting everything about yourself and the internet and you should be telling your friends the same.
You are just making excuses as to why you need it in your life and I have never had to use it for anything since its inception.
That's the new version of "it works on my computer" as an answer to people reporting bugs.
You just lost access to 90--95% of buyers/sellers. How is it going?
Great! All I need to do now is to convince the school to use them because beat me: I'm not in charge of their communication systems…
You must have misread. I do exactly that.
You must have misread: at no point did I write that I was posting anything. But I certainly don't dictate my friends what they should and shouldn't do.
"It works on my computer."
