Gregory's Server@CiaraNi It's really important that no one be forced to use the Zuckerberg platforms. There are so many reasons to boycott them.
It's just laziness when organisations, shops etc only allow themselves to be reached that way.

@CiaraNi The local Development Trust where I live, publicly funded, has no website and can only be contacted via FB. They haven't even opened their FB page so you can see it without being a FB member. I think that's pretty poor. I discussed it with them early on, and as you say, they were completely dumbfounded. Also, just this week, the political party I am an active member of, is promoting to members that they should join their WhatsApp group. Absolutely ridiculous. @LillyHerself It is especially egregious in cases like that with groups that are serving a whole community. |
@LillyHerself Agreed! I asked one group that I'm in (in real life) if we could share information some other way for people like me who aren't on Facebook and the organisers were genuniely puzzled by my question. Because why would anyone not be on Facebook? Next meeting, they made a public suggestion that members join Facebook 'because you'll get better information, more often'.
