Simply insane. But honestly if anyone is using Facebook still that's on them. I can't fathom how people still use it.

I suffer using it because many people jumped ship from Craigslist to Facebook Marketplace.

Good deals and things can still certainly be found on Craigslist, and there seems to have been a rebound lately in use, but for a while there all that was left on Craigslist was old timers and resellers.

Simplest way for my Mom to keep track of what her extended family is up to and communicate with them. Changing would require all of them moving to a different platform.

I’d be highly skeptical that more than 2% of the posts Mom sees are by her family or friends. Ads, posts by strangers, groups I’m in - those are 90% of what the algorithm serves on the main feed.

		Of course, but there’s still no alternative platform to stay in touch with friends and family.
