    I am so happy that I’ve deleted my facebook account about 5 years ago and never since then used any app from Zuckercamp.

    I still have to make a few more accounts with one of my proton mail addresses and I will de-google myself almost completely, with only youtube as an exception.

    For now.

      How did you get around people you are in contact with flat out refusing to explore alternatives like they owe zuck?

        Luckily for me, anyone who wanted to keep in touch simply has my number to just call or jumped onto Telegram train with me some time ago and then switched for Signal after just a few months.

        I don’t know anyone who feels like they owe Zuck anything but I heard quite a few times “I would delete my fb account but I need it for a work group chat because everyone else is there” and I can sometimes see some FOMO there.

        But then, now some of those groups afaik are slowly migrating to Discord — which maybe is not perfect but still sometimes any change is a big change.
