A bunch of local groups in my area are only on Facebook, so I still visit every week or so.

Came here to mention F.B. Purity too, it’s pretty much the only thing that makes FB tolerable.

And yea, I only visit FB for some local community groups and pages, and to chat with family in Messenger. I only share articles on my profile maybe once a year, and stopped uploading photos sometime before the pandemic 😅 But sadly it’s still the most mainstream social platform in Europe.

I guess they don’t assume that their UK audience would want to travel to another country for the event.

How is it weird for a UK organisation to focus on the coverage of UK locations? They also don’t show France or any other country affected.

damn, I didn’t notice the sarcasm until the handicap plates 😅

afaik some important mod tools are only available on old reddit, so if old goes, so will many of the remaining subreddit mods who haven’t left after the API shutdown

my family still uses Facebook Messenger, it’s only the tech savvier people I hung out with on Telegram that I managed to switch to Signal 😮‍💨

did you try these? https://signalstickers.org/?s=author%3ATelegram+animated%3Atrue

Very disturbing, it was the last straw to switch my chats (besides family) to Signal.

I had held onto Telegram for years because of their fun animated stickers, but yesterday discovered that Signal has those too, actually all sets from Telegram are available on unofficial Signal sticker sites, so now I’m all sorted 😅

yeah, it’s reasonably good, only struggles with more niche searches - when I search for seemingly unrelated topics it often falls back to showing ~5 generic links for one of the topics, then ~5 generic links for the other, but if I search for the same with Google &udm=14, it finds the specific niche overlap I was looking for
