Made a thread about what other social media Lemmings use, and I was shocked by the amount of Meta platforms in the replies. (fedia.io)

Yup. I quit everything but Reddit several years back without a second thought in all that time because I lived in a big metropolitan city.

Now I live in a small suburb where all the towns and businesses post to FB, neighbors have tradeposts and active interest groups on there, the schools and Police post info there too. My wife has connected to “friends” we otherwise wouldn’t exchange info with.

All that has had me wanting to create a new account - just to connect. I was completely ignorant to the role it plays outside of big cities beforehand. Nextdoor is a really crappy alternative.

I tried nextdoor but nobody was on it compared to the thousands in the local facebook group.

Not missing much. It’s full of WASP-y pearl-clutchers.

The few people on ours are local real estate agents and severe weather alerts lol

Nextdoor is the Boomer HOA of social media
