I don’t like Facebook, but my mother and my father-in law both have facebooks. I tried some different social medias but I can’t make my mom go because the social medias are from other countries and stuff. Are there any American social medias where my mom would feel comfortable putting her face on?
I usually don’t put my face on social medias, sometimes I’ll put a photo of a guy who kind of looks like me, and choose a photo that’s taken from really far away, and people who don’t know me that well will think it’s me. My mom likes to put a headshot and then pixilated photos of the American flag and quotes from celebrity women she likes. That’s kind of a facebook thing. Are there any social medias like that?
Merry Christmas to all the Christians. I’m not Christian, so I get to be here. See you after church. I get to enjoy myself, and you’re in uncomfortable clothing, hahaha.

Because I don’t want facebook, but I still want talk to my mom on the computer.
Ignore Facebook but install Signal on her phone and start sharing your life via pictures to a group or use the “stories” feature? It takes effort but parents want to see whats going on.
Just beware that uninformed and uncaring people can still leak whatever you send them.
Then use facebook. Go where the people you want to be around are.
Just recognize that all the stuff you put on social media is public.
