I’m still on Facebook to keep up with family I don’t want having my phone number. I’m on Insta to support friends who’s business is kind of tied to it (tattooers and other artists mostly). I’m on Threads because my work requires me to be in there (and elsewhere) to promote their stuff. I don’t actually do that, but apparently once you have an account it’s there forever unless you want to nuke your Instagram account as well.
I’ve receeded from FB and Insta (along with Twitter {“X”} and Reddit) as well as being fully adverse to posting on Threads in favor of Fediverse alternatives. Been on Mastodon since the 2021 Facebook whistleblower and Lemmy since Reddit’s API BS last year. Haven’t tried BlueSky or the other Twitter alternatives. Now… getting away from using Google/Alphabet has been another struggle entirely.
