        Family group chat so it isn’t that easy. On the other hand I never open Facebook so 🤷

            I don’t disagree. And I totally understand and support people who choose to leave the platform altogether. I will more than likely leave at a certain point, the same way I left reddit.

            I was only trying to open up discussion on the topic. I think that for most of us (younger generation) understand a the privacy issues with platforms like Facebook, Google, Tiktok. But I do also believe that for most it’s extremely impractical to abandon that platform. Not everyone can be a pioneer.

      Lol i told my family and friends if they want to talk to me they have to install signal. Those that want to talk to me did and those that don’t didn’t. Problem solved.
