I don’t really use facebook anymore so couldn’t care less; but so happened to log in today to change my password and saw this on my front page.

I don’t think any other site can do what YouTube is doing, because YouTube is almost impossible to replace and find an alternative to. If Facebook pulls this I’m out for good. The only reason I’m on there still is the 3 people who refuse to use anything else that I still care about.
So you use a data miner because other people do, but if they block ads you won’t? Which one is it?
I don’t even get the question. Yeah I use Facebook with a fake name and no data on the account accept a spam mail address to write occasional messages with 3 people. If I couldn’t use ad block on facebook it’d be too annoying to use for me even for that.
That’s fine, but that’s not really “using it” either. People use it normally and think things like fake emails and bad names changes anything, it doesn’t. Meta is still getting all their data points, those accts are just as valuable, and most people at some point will fuck up and the connection will be made.
I did that and facebook banned me for being a bot
I know this is none of my business, so please don’t take this the wrong way …
That’s sweet, but shouldn’t there be a middle ground ?, I mean if someone cares about you they should in theory value what you value ? ( or respect what u value )
And here’s the thing about people, they’ll install all the random adware from the play store, but won’t install an app for a friend, I have people like this in my life, and the worst part is I explained my concern with Facebook and why I don’t use it, still they like : “yeah, you come to me I won’t come to you”, and later complain about how hard I’m to reach… !! 😒🙄
It’s family so I guess I’m shit out of luck here. Everyone else I managed to get to communicate through signal or at least email. But those 3 are a bit special.
