    of course there is nuance. you are correct that both are to blame, but many people need to use facebook for family, friends, or work. it sucks that we as a society are so reliant on these companies, but thats how it is.

    just saying ‘dont use facebook’ is useless. we can advocate for changes at the same time as encouraging people to alternatives. its the same argument with windows/linux.

      I mean, it’s not that hard to just don’t. If anyone asks, just say I don’t use Facebook. And if they bitch, then so be it.

      If they share you Facebook links, click it if you must, but don’t log in. If you can’t watch the video because you don’t log in, then too bad.

      If it’s for work, then create a work account if absolutely necessary, but don’t use it for your personal shit.

      It’s really that easy.
