Meta is the worst of the worst. I don't use it other than a tombstone account with some family connections and a separate burner account we use for Facebook marketplace.

This is how everyone talks about their use of Meta products: "I don't use them except for those times I use them...". We all need to actually boycott and actively help create alternatives or these little bits of fabricated need will keep them in business forever.

I've been clean for about 2 years at this point, and I have not missed anything!

Messaging apps like Signal are more than enough now a days to stay connected with the few people I need and want to stay in touch with.

Do you boycott Apple and Google too? Because they have to comply with debatable laws just as Meta. See drama about Apple maps for Taiwan/China for example.

So you do use them. Twice.
