That's great and all, but my kids daycare posts photos on a private Facebook channel. Oh and birthday parties come in on Facebook. And I sold stuff on Facebook marketplace that I wasn't able to sell ok craigslist.

It's just a useful ubiquitous app. You can use the features you like. I don't see what the point of taking such an absolutist stance decrying the app as evil. Im just trying to raise a few kids, go to some parties and sell some junk around the house

None of these things should require selling your soul or firstborn rights to Facebook, right? But somehow it does, and we should be angry at this.


At whom? You, your friends and family are the ones who chose to make this the method. If most people didn't have Facebook accounts, it wouldn't be the default for these things.
