It’s fuckin’ unavoidable. I don’t use any part of it, except for Marketplace, because nothing like it exists. It doesn’t matter if it’s shit, it’s where the stuff is listed for sale.
As for the rest of it, I just quit. Conversations I used to have on messenger have moved elsewhere.
There really needs to be an organized effort from sellers and buyers to identify a solid alternative, which is hard. And post listing about moving off to that platform. A lot of existing ones have their own downsides, and there are just not enough people on them consistently and actively
FB itself for a community group, and Messenger for my family group chat 🤷
The group now has a presence on Discord, but there are still 26 times as many members on FB. In Hungary many people still use FB as their main social network. At most they also use Instagram, but that obviously doesn’t work for closed discussion groups.
While on Facebook, there are a ton of community from SEA, East Asia, Africa, Middle East, and so on.
Also, Facebook Lite makes the poorest people in my country to be able to access social media without using too many internet quota.
The variation of groups is far beyond any social media, even Reddit or any other community site.
You can get thousands of variation of Minecraft groups that exactly suits your community needs. Or maybe just a city chicken fried seller community.
Why do any of you still use facebook?

I like Craigslist, and honestly it’s pretty good now. There just isn’t anyone on there as compared to Facebook marketplace.
