I moved to a new town recently. People don’t give out their phone numbers to connect. They give out their FB and Instagram accounts. Not having either is perceived as weird.
I already said I recently moved. I’ve moved 3 times in the past 10 years and it’s all the same. Maybe people used Snapchat or Instagram more often than Facebook when I was younger but it’s all the same privacy invasive shit.
The majority tolerate it, that’s why Meta is so successful as a company.
Because it’s where people are. I’ve gone 20 years without using FaceBook but I’ve definitely missed out on a lot. Whether you’re trackng down an old friend, selling something locally, trying to get information on a local business etc. there’s no better alternative. That’s why so many alternatives to big websites fail. They may be better in theory but if nobody migrates then there’s no point
I deleted my facebook account in 2022 and have essentially not been contacted by friends since, so there’s that
:(
Have you tried to contact them outside of FB?
Perhaps you’re just not friends.

Hope this helps.
You’re in a fucked up town., and that attachment to the platform is more fucked up.
That doesn’t help. Also when’s the last time you moved your life?
