It was frustrating, leaving the 🇺🇸 behind with our materialism, having ditched all "meta" stuff since Cambridge Analytica, only to find that finding housing, ordering food, calling a taxi, contacting the postal service all was on Facebook/Whatsapp/IG.

I couldn't even view the village council mandates at our new home without it. When looking for housing, agents kept sending links to FBMP listings. I'd ask for photos and get a link to a FB gallery. I stuck to my guns and didn't use it, instead asking agents to email me pics and friends to show me things, but I got a lot of eyerolling, and it made everything much more difficult.
