Everyone needs to GTFO facebook. We can hardly do it because every other HOA and School PTA is there, but we get stop using messenger and stop having personal discussions over there.

Contact those places and ask for an alternative -the less people participate the quieter the discussions the more likely they are to at least try to switch over if they start feeling some pressure.

I agree that it needs to happen but contacting these places and asking them for an alternative is a lot like contacting a deep sea tube worm and asking it to learn brain surgery.

They're probably capable of moving from one social platform to another, But it's a lot of work and they're destroying their network every time so they're highly resistant.

If Apple wasn't such a pain in the ass about notification services We could probably crowdsource NTFY and let everyone use it for schools non-profits and such
