   I’ve held on to my Facebook account so I could access Instagram so I could follow my favorite local restaurant’s menu and hour updates because that’s their “website” but I cannot stomach having a Meta presence anymore.

   Here’s hoping I can convince my favorite restaurant to post updates in some other way but I’m guessing I’m just going to have to get used to calling them on the phone a lot.

     The other useful thing for a Facebook account has been access to the local “buy nothing” group so I can freecycle things that are perfectly useful but not a good fit for our family.

     Likewise it was an excellent tool for local non-profit outreach… but like read this GLAAD press release about Meta’s changes to their moderation policy today: https://glaad.org/releases/meta-removes-anti-lgbtq-hate-speech-policies-ends-fact-checking/

     How the hell can you stay active on a place like that?
