Why does anyone use fb? I never have had an account. I do help my mother-in-law with hers a bit.

My company asked me to create a Twitter account. I deleted it a month later.

The soln to bad speech is better speech.

If you want to communicate or reach out to people, you go where the people are. Currently that's FB.

On a separate note, the problem with saying that the solution to bad speech is better speech is that it doesn't take crapflooding by bad actors into account. Your good speech is kinda worthless if it's drowned out by disinformation, lies or just plain non-sense.

I use Facebook because the groups I'm involved with IRL communicate on Facebook, or whatsapp (also owned by fb of course).
