Why don't you just create an account for this sort of thing. No baby pictures, no sharing your holiday photos, no commenting on friends/families/colleagues posts. Just accessing groups/sites who use it because it's an extremely cost effective way of getting an internet presence. I used to be just like you but relented in the end because of Facebook messenger (yeah, could use email but people can't generally be bothered with that any more).
- vskarine 11y agoThe problem is that they force you to use your real identity.
- dave2000 11y agoThey would never know. They don't let you use it if you're under 13; there are probably tens of millions of children using it.

- dave2000 11y agoSure, but then you create another fake account. In any event, my original suggestion was for people who simply wanted to silently join groups to read info, and/or avoid annoying login requests.
