I understand where you're coming from, but ultimately it is your decision to stay on Facebook. If you ever want to try something different then try Scuttlebutt. All of your data there is stored in your own blockchain, and then you exchange these blockchains with others. There is no central server or identification authority.
The UI is very much in an alpha state but the SSB protocol is solid, so the blockchain itself will outlive any particular UI version. It might actually be able to scale without having a central authority run it, which gives a glimpse of a future without Facebook.
- throwanem 9y agoEvery time I talk about this, people assume I'm on Facebook. Why is it that, every time I talk about this, people assume I'm on Facebook? I talked about this and you assumed I'm on Facebook, so you should be able to explain at least one reason why, every time I talk about this, people assume I'm on Facebook.
- ohtwenty 9y agoBecause everyone is. I quit Facebook for a year or two, trying to get people to email or WhatsApp or whatever. didn't work. So I lived with people closer to me reaching out to my SO through Facebook, or sending messages in another way. I eventually made an account again because there were instances where an alternative solution was too much of a pita. So I now check every other week, respond to messages when I have time, and ignore the rest. I think I've posted one thing in the past year. Still trying to get people to contact me through WhatsApp or signal, which works really well for the NL (>95% have wa), but not so much for international friends. I mostly don't get the drive, the need to post mundane things on there. I just can't get myself to believe anyone will care that I took a picture of me eating lunch, or whatever.
