>No one over 40 would be caught dead of facebook otherwise.
Until their HOA or their sports club start using Facebook as their official platform for announcements and communication.
I know there are other free platform that could fill the same role, but you will never find one where literally more than half the adult population already has an account and is familiar with the interface/features. Lots of groups use it because it's the path of least resistance.

- tenebrisalietum 4y agoCan you sign up with Facebook without an email? I know it asks for your phone number but not sure if it still requires an email.
- ok123456 4y agoIt's not conjecture. Just look at any form your fill out, from taxes, to medical, to employment. They all ask for your email address and not for your facebook url.
- JohnFen 4y agoTaking an average of the various reports about Facbook usage in the US, about 70% of internet users use Facebook at least once per month. Somewhere near 100% of internet users use email. As ok123456 points out, there's a reason that you get asked for your email address and not your Facebook ID. Asking for Facebook leaves out a huge chunk of people.

- pavel_lishin 4y agoIf you can get our town's PTA, or city hall, or childcare to use email more than they use Facebook, I will give you one thousand fucking dollars. I can barely get my D&D group to reliably use emails to communicate, instead of group texts that usually include the entire group, but not always.
- max51 4y ago>Enough people don't have or won't use facebook in 2022. It is top 3 most visited after google and youtube. Literally every other service/website you can imagine is worse in terms or popularity. If >2.5B active monthly users is too low, I can't imagine that anything will ever be enough for you.
