Hey, each to their own, but I’m prepared to make sacrifices for the things I believe.

I don’t shop on Amazon, and some things I just can’t find elsewhere so I just don’t buy them.

As mentioned I don’t use WhatsApp so I miss out on group chats as my friends won’t use signal.

The list is quite long at this point.

I just find it odd that you’ll call out Facebook for being complicit but do nothing about it.

I really appreciate your dedication but most of us are just trying to get by. I mean the fact that we're engaging with you on this platform instead of others is worth something.

Personally I am old enough that I have never had social media. ICQ then AIM were the way people connected when I was young. Many of the people my age have Facebook accounts, but it's not like they're on there obsessing daily.

My wife deleted her Facebook a couple years ago and I was so proud of her.

Please be careful. Your heart is in the right place but if you keep cutting people out over a shitty choice of platform you might end up out of friends.

Thank you for your kind words, and I didn’t mean to come across as combative or anything, I was just voicing my thoughts.

As for losing friends, if my friends don’t believe in the same things as me then I really should find friends I have more in common with.

Full disclosure I’ve done some fucked up things in my life and my way of making amends is speaking of for the people less fortunate than I am and taking a stand for the things I believe, whether it makes a difference or not.

If I had a better way to universally keep in touch I would.
