    What do you use instead for online social groups? Do you ever hit a group or business that’s only on Meta apps, whether fakebook or whatsapp?

      I guess I don’t, anymore? I have my fedi-stuff, which basically comes down to Piefed and Pixelfed.

      I had a hard think about what things I use, and why, and realized all the social networks I used I didn’t need. Facebook and Instagram became a ritual of watching Reels, and I didn’t really use the rest. I liked keeping a photoblog though, hence having a Pixelfed account.

      If a business only has a Facebook presence…well I probably didn’t need to interact anyway? And if I do I am sure I can find a number, an email, or go in person…

      All the time. I’ve had no trouble finding other businesses to buy from or other groups to join up with.

      Businesses and groups with only a Facebook tend to have… other issues, anyway.
