- blub 10y agoOnce a platform becomes big enough, it doesn't matter what YOU can do if everyone else is on that platform. Whether YOU want to or not, your friends and family are probably on Facebook and you probably have to use gmail and WhatsApp to talk to them. You argument is flat out wrong.
- drivingmenuts 10y agoTwo words: Richard Stallman. He uses no social service that I'm aware of, a command line email program and downloads web pages for later viewing (I do none of those things, btw). YOU choose how you interact with the rest of the world. You may have those choices thrust in your face, but ultimately, it's up to you to decide. Unless your IP and DNS are somehow restricted by your ISP, then you have access to all the tools you will need. If they are, there's probably little I can do to help you.
