But where can I post pictures of my baby so granny can see them? Sure I’ll have to wade through the Russian misinformation to do it and have my entire data file stolen by a shady right wing political entity but I refuse to send baby pics via email.

How about creating a Flickr account?

You can store up to 1000 pictures of your baby and even granny should be capable to click on an URL you supply by email.

It was sarcastic. It’s one of the excuses my family gives for not deleting their FB.

Sorry then,

Sarcasm is sometimes hard to decipher on-line.

Add to that one of my pet peeves: Folks claiming that they can't quit Facebook because how should they stay in touch with their 600 friends and family members without relying on this truely evil company.

For the record: I "deleted" my account some 5 years ago, when it became obvious how despicable this company actually is.

No worries.

I deleted FB long ago and most recently fully weaned myself off Google.

The reality is Gmail, Facebook, et al are ploys to get people to store their data on an ad companies servers. No thanks!
