Too many people say nothing when it’s mentioned, so tacit approval is assumed.
I’ve blocked sites like Twitter and FB, etc, on all my devices and networks. My friends and family still send me links, after I’ve repeatedly told them my devices can’t go to those websites (I’ve never once in my life been on either one).
So I think it’s appropriate to point out using FB is as problematic as Reddit (worse actually. It needs to be continually said.
FB had the Cambridge Analytica scandal that exposed how bad it is, and people still use it 🤦🏼♂️. They had tracking pixels for years, and whole I’ve never even visited the FB website, those bastards have a profile on me.
I don’t disagree but there is a line, and we should not be pushing people away. I think a discussion such as this will convey the message better though so person can receive the info in non confrontational manner. Common sense should result in more users since good facts are on fediverse side. Everyone is a future fedi user they just don’t know it yet lol
Every time I see someone say a ridiculous name in the comments, I immediately look back at the previous comment to see the username and laugh. This is the first time I was fooled.
Edit: Oh wait, I wasn’t fooled. I just didn’t go far enough!
ty ty… i don’t mind a bit of horse play but i have heard people saying sometimes we are not welcoming, so i try to give fresh meat a pleasant entrance.
we get into a pissing match about something with more gravitas.

Meh, no one should be on Facebook.

I was being light hearted, but you’re absolutely right. Thank you for checking me.
Didn’t mean to be rude to you Buttflapper.
