If the alternative is nothing, that’s fine.

And if you need Facebook for work, fine.

But there is no reason to endure being on hellish social media. We lived without it for thousands of years, and you are (IMO) deluding yourself if you think participating brings even an ounce of change. The biggest impact you can make is not being on there and robbing Facebook (or whoever) of the engagement boost you give it.

Plus it just a parasite.
