Delete your facebook accounts, and anything else related to this company. If your argument is that your family still uses one, then force them to get rid of it too.
I really wish I could delete my Facebook and Instagram, but my late brother’s account is on both and I really miss him. I try to do my part by not making content for the machine nor interact with the platform and only go on when I really miss my brother
I quit everything except whatsapp, it’s virtually impossible without actually impacting my life negatively. Been trying and some friends have started using Signal, but most people don’t.
I guess it’s all about choosing what each of us deems worse. “Do I want a saner life even if it means not having some convenience, or is this change going to mess with my life for little benefit?”.
7 years ago I told everyone I was leaving WhatsApp and moving to Signal on day X. Some installed signal and we started using that exclusive, some others didn’t, and we stopped chatting, just did phone calls.
Fast forward to today, most of the people in my life use Signal, some of them exclusively to use it with me, and the rest, I haven’t missed (they call every now and then though).
It is a scary move, 100%, but well worth it, in my opinion.

Backup the account webpage, then delete the account. There exists software that freezes web pages as is, as downloadable archives.

My struggle for years has been quitting WhatsApp…
I never started using it. It’s the cancer version of messaging.
I sometimes get weird looks from people when I tell them I refuse to use it.
Signal is the way to go.

Yeah in my experience I’ve been able to use regular texts, discord or signal instead. People will accept at least one most of the time
