I think we really gotta stop lying to ourselves when we say "it's a good way to stay in touch with people". It's a way to stay in touch, but most of the shit you see on Facebook these days have little to nothing to do with the people you actually care about.

There are much better ways to stay in touch with others. For example, friend or family discord communities is a far superior way when compared to any Meta platform.

I get your point but this one I've got to disagree on. You need to get your friends and family to use that, and that's not going to happen lol

Not with that attitude.

Remember when you had to get your friends and family to use Facebook? I do. Most (may be all) social media platforms are opt in. People are not born with a Facebook account.

This is not a reason, but rather a means to absolve yourself from engaging with a platform you know is toxic.

My brother has ASD. He has decided Facebook is how he wants to communicate. I don't want to lose what little connection I have with my brother.

When someone has ASD and is set on something, getting them to change is not a matter of your attitude.
