The largest study ever carried out on social media deactivation has found that disconnecting lowers users political participation and also their propensity to believe misinformation
I want to quit Facebook so badly, but I NEED to use WhatsApp. Family, friends, work even. All informal and semi-formal chats go through WhatsApp where I live.
I hate Facebook. Marketplace is unfortunately the only place a lot of stuff is listed, even though it also sucks. I said I wanted stuff within 85 miles, why are you showing me stuff that’s 400 miles away??? Craigslist is genuinely a better experience (via the mobile app) these days, but no one uses it.
I haven’t viewed the actual Facebook app/feed in probably 7 or 8 years, but I have a Facebook for messenger. There are just too many people that rely on it as a sole form of communication, I was just getting left out of shit.
I don’t really see the problem though, do you not have the self control not to browse?

I guess I’m at least lucky that marketplace isn’t used here primarily.
I just use Craigslist anyway and accept that I’m missing out on selection.
Often I do too, but I’m in a mid-sized city so sometimes it isn’t an option if I want to find a deal on something.
I only set up notifications on Craigslist’s app though.
This.
I buy and sell heaps of stuff on Facebook.
We have young kids. It must have saved us thousands buying everything second hand and flipping it later.

I do, luckily. But I’d rather not use any Meta apps.
You’re not required to go on Facebook just to use WhatsApp 😉
