> there really isn't an alternative to Facebook for sharing pictures and videos I seem to manage; I use email and a website. These technologies have been working fine since around 1996. The only "social media" account I've ever had is this one; and I'm pretty new here. Consider teaching your rels to use straightforward technology that's been around for forty years (maybe since before they were born). There's nothing special about Faceache; it's just a website with a messaging service (and an "app"). The only thing going for it is people who continue to use it, because they have "friends" who want to live in a Faceache bubble. Look, that's cool; if you and your friends and rels think it's a good service, then you don't need any "alternative". I'm not going to beat you up for relying on Faceache. But your ongoing use of Faceache, which you explain in terms of network effects ("but my grandparents that are on facebook") makes you part of the problem you yourself are complaining about.
