Tim Bray@Gargron A couple branches of my family and a music jam club are on Meta properties. Letting go would be very painful.
Leon Cowle@timbray @Gargron Immigrant to the other side of the world here. Keeping up with the entire extended family back there would be near impossible without FB. Many extended family members also spread out worldwide. FB keeps us all in contact, seeing how we age, how our kids are growing up, remembering loved ones now gone, celebrating milestones, etc. It’s possible to do this for close family without FB (and we do!), but not for hundreds-strong extended family. So I will stay.
Similar for WhatsApp. My sister lives in a country that blocks Facetime! So WhatsApp it is.

I moved to Switzerland from Seattle 20 years ago, and I have way too many friends and family members on FB to leave it. I would love to somehow move elsewhere, but at FB I am locked in, and it's where I have to stay. While Mastodon, and to some degree, Bsky are replacing Twitter, they are not close to being a replacement for FB.
