From internal leaks within the company as well as external analysis, the tip of the iceberg behind Facebook's spyware empire is exposed. Take a look to better protect yourself when you're not even on the platform: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/facebooks-corrupt-off-platform-surveillance/
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Telegram, discord, mastadon, signal, session, etc there are too many to list
Which are all useless if nobody you want to talk to is there.
Then simple text or oldschool phonecalls work
Facebook is a passive form of information feed on your family and friends. Phone calls are not a direct analog to them.
Some would say that is better
Oh, that's why it was so easy for me. There's nobody I want to talk to.

Lacks a publicly accessible user database. I can't get your info unless we have a mutual.
Which I like, semi aquaintance relationships are just fodder
Discord is a giant data hog. It's not a good argument.
The thing that Facebook has is momentum and a passive feed.
I know these are there - I said so in my post. It does not work when others are on FB and will/can not leave for another platform.

No. Simply not suitable or practical.
But you do you.
Lol, passive agressive much
