Facebook is nearing a reputational point of no return

I am aware that Facebook has done a bunch of bad stuff, and that they own Instagram and WhatsApp. I still don't give a shit. For all it's faults Facebook is still the most convenient way to keep up with friends and family spread around the world, and share my underwater photography. If you engage with Facebook on your own terms and "hide all from" the news / politics / meme pages then it works great. And it's free!

And no, I'm not interested in doing extra work to set up Mastodon.

So you don't give a shit about how their bad decisions affect the broader society we live in?

Free, how? As in freedom/beer/something else?

Money, you know, is not the only currency there is.

Free in the sense most people use the word free. As in no money required.

The only people I know who still use Facebook, use it to share political memes, fake news, phishing scams, and rants. If I hid from all that there'd be nothing left.

Personally I prefer to upload my photography to my own website, where I don't have to worry about Facebook setting up a shadow account for every face in my images
