I am sure that MZ is the latter. F*book is a farce. You are the problem. Be the change you want to see. Reach out to people other ways for events. FFS, you are connected 24x7 to the internet, not facebook exclusively, never in the history of humanity have we had this level of instantaneous hyperconnection, that excuse is a lie.

> Reach out to people other ways for events. It's the other way around, he's being reached by other people through FB. What good would it do to make an account where his friends are not?

  Surely the reason he is being invited is not because he has an account on an online platform. We are in a hyperconnected world where an infinite number of ways to communicate exist. You don't need to rely on a single closed-garden platform for communication. F*book sole purpose as a corporation is built around harvesting as much personal data about you as possible and selling it to the highest and most nefarious bidder.

    As someone who never had an FB account, I can assure you I've missed multiple events over the years over this. People simply forget that I don't have an account.

  I would not call people friends if they can't take the little inconvenience to text me to invite me somewhere if I don't use Facebook.

    As a long-time human, who's worked with a lot of humans, I'd advise you not to underestimate the power of trivial inconveniences. Rational, perfectly selfish agents in an environment of frictionless transactions might still invite me to events if I were off their social media platform. Humans will not.

    Sounds like a semantic nitpick. The point doesn't change if they're acquaintances instead.

It surprises me how many people assume that Zuckerberg is evil. I've never seen any convincing evidence of him being anything other than a relatively regular guy in an extremely unique circumstance. What makes you so sure he's a sleazebag?
