Not to sound too mean here, but… not a single day goes by without someone complaining about Facebook/Meta and refusing to not use their shitty (dis-)services.
To a degree, I get why people were or are using Facebook, etc, but how much more does need to happen, until they finally don’t anymore?
That’s true… If there was a FOSS-based alternative (like how Lemmy and its instances are alternatives to Reddit, or how Bluesky/Mastodon are alternatives to Xitter) I can see myself jumping ship and using that instead of Facebook/Messenger, with the only obstacle being that I kinda need Messenger for checking college announcements and communicating with professors and classmates, since that’s what everybody uses.

Isn’t Signal user friendly enough? Depending on the country, public services need to uphold a certain privacy standard anyway.
