why are people still using facebook?

I run a free board game group on there called West Allis Board Games. Believe me, I would like to leave Meta and I offer everyone https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn as a nonprofit alternative, but no one is on the latter and everyone is on the former. If you have any ideas on what I can do, I'm all ~~ears~~ eyes.

I asked the attendees about how they'd feel if we moved to a different platform and they immediately said they don't want to handle dozens of accounts scattered across different platforms. I also advertise the group on related subreddits and, most recently, the locally relevant /c/ equivalents here.

What about dentists, doctors, programmers, etc.?

I feel like this should be more about those involved in the upper echelons of megacorps.

Might wanna edit the noun into your post title!

And mere sex is the way to do it? What about laws restricting social media from being as predatory and anxiety-/depression-contributing towards young people, as has been well-documented over the past, entire decade? As that other Lemmy user said, where is your scientific evidence that younger sex is the way beyond just your own opinion? Encouraging sex without solving the hypercapitalist issue is just pouring more gas on the dumpster fire, if anything.

Ironically........ I myself found this through Reddit, no joke! But yeah, I hope to sway more people here.

Wow, infinite aliases?! This is way better than Fx Relay, thanks!

I rather have them using AI to create it than having to go searching for real content.

A rebuttal to this that I've read is that the easy access may encourage people to dig into it and eventually want "the real thing"... but regardless, with it being FOSS, there's no easy way to stop it anyway... It's just a Pandora's box that we can never close.

Touché, but having the brains to do it is another matter!

Consider the decentralized family of https://trom.tf/ apps, such as https://search.trom.tf/ as a replacement (that's the only one I use of their stuff so far... but may poke around more later).

... until they keep having to dismiss people and go, "... huh." This is a marathon we're playing. You certainly don't have to use it, but I think the philosophy makes sense, especially given how AdNauseam doesn't click on acceptable ads that don't track you.

Dang, I had no idea of Portmaster! I wish I talked to you years ago and will check these out, thanks, and I fully agree with your stance as well.

Ha, this is as hilarious as it is creative. Interesting find; got any more?
