I have a couple of reasons I still use Facebook, although I don't like it at all: My brother, who lives on the other side of the country, has ASD and the only two ways I could stay in touch with him is on Quora, where he only wants to stay on-topic, or Facebook. And I'm at least an hour's drive away from most of the people I know, so it's also one of the only ways I keep in touch with them, because they apparently don't have the problem with Facebook I do.
That said, I block every ad even though I have to do it manually, and I don't join any groups, other than a couple that I just read for the comic strips, or argue with strangers. I keep my Facebook use to a minimum, essentially.
Edit: I take that back. I didn't block the ad for the build-your-own wooden hurdy-gurdy kit. How could I?
Lol how could you?
Is he willing to use Discord? We created a channel for our family and it's perfect for communicating with a select group of people.
Nope. He wants what he knows and nothing else.
Discord is even worse than Facebook in terms of usability. It can't be indexed by search engines at all. F that noise
