    why are people still using facebook?

    I run a free board game group on there called West Allis Board Games. Believe me, I would like to leave Meta and I offer everyone https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn as a nonprofit alternative, but no one is on the latter and everyone is on the former. If you have any ideas on what I can do, I’m all ears eyes.

    I asked the attendees about how they’d feel if we moved to a different platform and they immediately said they don’t want to handle dozens of accounts scattered across different platforms. I also advertise the group on related subreddits and, most recently, the locally relevant /c/ equivalents here.

        They’re normal people. This is a common reaction. Most people don’t give two shits about half the stuff we care about here on Lemmy. Nobody here is an average web user.

          I cant even get my wife to quit using Facebook. She knows why I don’t use it, and she just doesn’t give a crap about privacy. I have lost my temperature before about her constant use of technology that is essentially surveillance tools.
