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)

In many places WhatsApp is the defacto standard unfortunately.....

If its not that its something like Viber, or badoo or telegram or some other nightmare service...

If you have kids there is also not really getting away from it. Friends of mine have never had Facebook accounts until they had kids because the local football team or boyscout or whatever only uses Facebook to communicate...

I agree you can live your life comfortably without meta services, but sometimes, like in the example above, you dont have any alternatives....

You can't keep harassing other parents to forward you messages or ask the team to print any messages specifically for you. Not having a Facebook account just gets "its easy to create" responses rather than "completely understandable, here's our private matrix server to stay in the loop".
