My neighbourhood facebook group is pretty useful. I have discover a running group on facebook to run with people, it’s cool and improve my mwntal health. All critisizm about facebook is valid but as long as it’s useful to me, i’ll stay on it.
Comment on Meta cuts off third-party access to Facebook Groups, leaving developers and customers in disarray
deweydecibel@lemmy.world 11 months agoThis is mostly an issue for businesses that were using groups, not individuals.
But beyond that, Facebook is particularly difficult to separate from depending on what you use it for. If you don’t care about anyone else on it, sure, you can leave the platform. But if you need to communicate with certain people and they won’t leave it, especially regional groups, you’re stuck.

This is me, I occasionally post something we’re doing, but by far most of my feed and interaction is with groups. I created a neighborhood FB group as an easy way to pass along info/communicate
With pihole, ublock origin, Firefox (FB container) and social fixer browser, Facebook isn’t all that bad… Haha

Nothing I hate more than a company’s website being a Facebook page

Worse is when any level of gov’t uses it… “Join our community consultation meeting about city planning live on facebook.”
Fuck that. I can choose to do business or not with most companies. But i cant choose to opt out of civic participation (no, i’m not going to live off grid as a sovereign citizen)

And when people send me FB links that only display the login wall.
