“Get them off Facebook” isn’t an option. They’re old, and it’s how they connect with their friends and get fulfilment.

This is exactly the kind of mentality that Meta preys upon. Create a new community. Invite them. Invite your family. Invite their friends. There is no other option. As long as we continue to capitulate to them, they will continue to exploit their power to harm their users.

Do you really, honestly not understand it though? FAANG are the most valuable companies on the planet. They just blatantly bribe governments around the world (but especially the US) to leave them alone. Or they spend billions hiring lobbyists to protest it.

And the vast majority of their users obviously don’t care. Virtually everyone I know uses Facebook on a regular basis, and yet I don’t know a single person that uses the Fediverse. And when I tell them about it they act like I’m some sort of weird outcast or conspiracy theorist. People who don’t care don’t pressure politicians to fix it.
