Incredibly narrow minded. FB page is a godsend for a lot of small businesses, especially during the pandemic.

A friend of mine's 85 year old mom post her activities daily on FB. Great joy and peace of mind for my friend, as they live ocean apart. The old lady wouldn't gonna stop using FB, or wait for a different platform that suits your world view.

By all means, work on a better solution, don't just speak up if you feel strongly about it. My apologies if I don't take it very well idealistic view that disregards other people's way of life.

People did all of the things they now do on Facebook before, using email, phone calls, SMS, Flickr, slide film, photo albums, phone books...

Facebook can't claim credit for natural human activity just because Facebook's network effects give most people no choice in what digital city to live.
