Comment on This blatantly deceptive ad for Threads
thevoidzero@lemmy.world 3 days agoYou can’t use phone calls or texting when your family lives in the other side of the globe. Many parents are not tech savvy for them to be able to use something else if you aren’t there to set it up. Lot’s of them got into Facebook, and their friends are there, and we need to be there for them to reach us. It’s the network effect.
Also for many parents, internet = Facebook. They don’t even use emails, or any other services for that matter, maybe news websites that are bookmarked in their browser years ago by their children.

Everybody who refuses to use Facebook has to make the same sacrifices that people who do not refuse to use it do not make. No amount of exposition will make us feel better about the fact Facebook continues to exist and contribute to the ruin of society in part because you are not willing to inconvenience yourselves like we already have.
