  They’re normal people. This is a common reaction. Most people don’t give two shits about half the stuff we care about here on Lemmy. Nobody here is an average web user.

    I cant even get my wife to quit using Facebook. She knows why I don’t use it, and she just doesn’t give a crap about privacy. I have lost my temperature before about her constant use of technology that is essentially surveillance tools.

      Add the add-on/extension NoScript to her browser and at least have it block fbsbx.com, which seems to be totally unnecessary to allow, as the rest of the website seems to still function perfectly fine.

    I wondered because Facebook. Mostly only know old people using it these days. Boomers and people who were young enough to have grown up using it when it first came out.

  There are attendees who are both younger and older than me (mid-30s). To be fair, the group already gets <10 people per event on average, so I don’t think I could risk the slice right now. If we grew to over double that, then maybe I could revisit the topic.
